Correct option is C
Fundamental Duties, as enshrined in Article 51A of the Indian Constitution, are not justiciable, which means they cannot be enforced by a court of law. They are moral obligations, intended to promote patriotism, a sense of responsibility, and ethical conduct among citizens, but there is no legal penalty for failing to adhere to them.
Additional Information:
- Fundamental Duties were added to the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Amendment in 1976 under the Directive Principles of State Policy.
- These duties are a set of ten (later extended to eleven) obligations that citizens are expected to follow for the betterment of the nation.
Other Options:
- They are both, civic and moral in nature: This is true as Fundamental Duties are a blend of civic duties (legal responsibilities) and moral obligations (ethical responsibilities).
- They emphasize on respecting Indian culture: This is also correct, as several duties call for respecting India's cultural heritage and promoting national integration.
- They are not applicable to foreigners: This is true because Fundamental Duties are meant specifically for Indian citizens and do not apply to foreign nationals.
