Q74 (CISF/2020) Polity & Governance › Fundamental Rights, DPSP & Fundamental Duties

Which one of the following is not a Fundamental Duty of the Indian citizens ?

To respect the National flag and the National anthem

To defend the country

To safeguard all property

To provide opportunities for education to one's own child between the age of six and fourteen years

Fundamental Duties are enshrined in Article 51A (Part IV-A) of the Indian Constitution. The options relate to these duties as follows:

Option A: Matches Article 51A(a), which mandates respect for the Constitution, the National Flag, and the National Anthem.
Option B: Matches Article 51A(d), which calls upon citizens to defend the country and render national service.
Option D: Matches Article 51A(k), which was added by the 86^th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002, requiring parents/guardians to provide educational opportunities to children aged 6 to 14 years.
Option C: Article 51A(i) specifically states the duty "to safeguard public property and to abjure violence." The Constitution does not list safeguarding "all property" (which would include private property) as a Fundamental Duty.

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer as it misstates the specific constitutional provision.
