Which fundamental duty applies to you when you see your college friends start fighting with the canteen person when he passed a few anti-religious statements?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step reasoning:

1. Identify the situation: Your college friends are fighting with a canteen person after he made anti-religious statements. This is a communal/conflict situation that threatens social harmony.

2. Match to fundamental duties: Article 51A of the Indian Constitution lists duties. The duty "to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood among all the people of India" directly addresses preventing and reducing communal tension and promoting peaceful coexistence.

3. Eliminate other options:
   - (2) "To value and preserve the rich heritage" relates to cultural preservation, not immediate conflict resolution.
   - (3) "To develop the scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry" is about critical thinking and secularism, but does not directly require calming a violent situation or promoting harmony.
   - (4) "To protect and improve our natural environment" is unrelated to interpersonal or communal disputes.

4. Conclusion: The most relevant fundamental duty is (1) — to promote harmony and the spirit of brotherhood, so you should act to calm the situation and uphold communal harmony.
