Question

Under the Constitution of India which of the following is NOT Fundamental Duty?

Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option A: To vote in General Election

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “To vote in General Election”.
Casting a vote in an election is not a fundamental duty, It is a legal right .

On the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee, the fundamental duties were added by the 42nd Amendment, 1976 in our Indian Constitution.

The fundamental duties were originally 10 in numbers but in 2002, the 86th Amendment increased its number to 11.

The 11th duty made it compulsory for each and every parent and guardian to provide the educational opportunities to their child who is more than 6 years but less than 14 years of age.

The concept of fundamental duties in the Indian Constitution was inspired by the Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
