Fundamental Duties – Dr. Rattan Singh / Ms. Pallavi Bhardwaj

The eleven Fundamental Duties under Article 51A are the most under-taught yet increasingly examined corner of the Constitution — and this focused primer by Dr. Rattan Singh and Ms. Pallavi Bhardwaj fills exactly that gap. It traces the duties from the Swaran Singh Committee and the 42nd Amendment, 1976, through the addition of the education duty by the 86th Amendment, analysing each duty with the case law that gives it teeth — AIIMS Students’ Union, Ranganath Mishra, and the environmental and flag-code jurisprudence built on Articles 51A(g) and (a).

The interplay of duties with Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles — a favourite of Constitutional Law examiners and judiciary interview boards — gets dedicated treatment. At ₹175, a compact 2026 addition to any constitutional law shelf.
