    Answer Key & Exp for GS Prelim Test-8 held on 20th Jan’ 2019 1. Consider the following statements: (1) The Fundamental Duties enshrined in the Indian Constitution are applicable to the citizens of India as well as foreigners. (2) The Parliament of India can enforce the Fundamental Duties through suitable legislation. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 Answer: (b) Explanation: The Fundamental Duties (Chapter IV-A, Article 51-A) are intended to serve as a constant reminder to every Indian citizen that while the Constitution specifically conferred on them certain Fundamental Rights, it also requires citizens of India to observe certain basic norms of democratic conduct and democratic behaviour because rights and duties are co-relative. Statement 1 is not correct: The Fundamental Duties are confined to the citizens of India only and do not extend to the foreigners unlike some of the Fundamental Rights which extend to all persons whether citizens or foreigners. Statement 2 is correct: The Fundamental Duties are also non-justiciable like the Directive Principles of State Policy. The Constitution does not provide for their direct enforcement by the courts. Moreover, there is no legal sanction against their violation. However, the Parliament of India is free to enforce them by suitable legislation. Sources: Vajiram & Ravi Institute Yellow Book; Part 1, Ch.10: Fundamental Duties, Pg.100-102 Indian Polity by M Laxmikanth- Chapter 9: Fundamental Duties, page no. 9.2 2.
