Which of the following is NOT a Fundamental Duty of the Indian citizens?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- Fundamental Duties of Indian citizens are listed in Article $51A$ of the Constitution (added by the 42nd Amendment, 1976).
- Check each statement against the duties in Article $51A$:
  1. "To develop scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform." — This is explicitly a Fundamental Duty (Article $51A(h)$).
  2. "To safeguard public property and to abjure violence." — This is explicitly a Fundamental Duty (Article $51A(i)$ covers safeguarding public property and abjuring violence).
  3. "To cherish and follow the noble ideas that inspired our national struggle for freedom." — This is explicitly a Fundamental Duty (Article $51A(j)$).
  4. "Mandatory national service of 5 years." — There is no Fundamental Duty that mandates a fixed period of national service; this is not in Article $51A$.

Therefore the statement that is NOT a Fundamental Duty is option (4).
