By the 42nd Amendment to the Constitution, enacted in 1976, basic duties to people were also enumerated for Indian residents.
In the Constitution, Article 51 'A' found in Part IV A deals with basic duties.
Fundamental Duties are derived from Russia's Constitution.
Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles of State Policy, and Fundamental Duties are parts of the Indian Constitution that lay down the fundamental obligations of States with regard to their people and the obligations and rights of citizens with regard to the State.
Such portions form a constitutional bill of rights for the making of government policies and citizens' behavior and actions.
These parts are considered essential elements of the constitution established by the Constituent Assembly of India between 1947 and 1949.
