Statement 1 is incorrect. Fundamental Duties, enshrined in Part IV-A (Article 51A) of the Constitution of India, are applicable only to citizens of India. They are not legally or constitutionally obligatory for foreigners residing in or visiting India.

Statement 2 is correct. While certain Fundamental Rights are reserved exclusively for Indian citizens (Articles 15, 16, 19, 29, and 30), several others are available to all persons, including foreign nationals (except enemy aliens). These include Article 14 (Equality before law), Article 20 (Protection in respect of conviction for offences), Article 21 (Protection of life and personal liberty), and Articles 25 to 28 (Freedom of religion).
