Which one among the following is not a Fundamental Duty of the citizen of India?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Fundamental Duties of Indian citizens are enshrined in Article 51A under Part IVA of the Constitution, added by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976 [1]. The list includes developing scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform (Article 51A(h)). It also mandates citizens to safeguard public property and abjure violence (Article 51A(i)), and to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India (Article 51A(c)) [1]. While the Swaran Singh Committee originally suggested including the duty to pay taxes, and there have been subsequent discussions regarding population control, practicing family planning and controlling population are not currently listed as Fundamental Duties under Article 51A. Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer as it is not a constitutionally mandated Fundamental Duty.
