Fundamental Rights and Fundamental Duties go hand in hand. If this statement is holistically followed many of our problems would be solved. Give your reply with examples to prove your point.
Answer
Fundamental Rights and Fundamental Duties are two sides of the same coin. They are interconnected and interdependent. If every citizen understands and practices their Fundamental Duties while enjoying their Fundamental Rights, it would lead to a harmonious and progressive society. For example, the Right to Equality ensures that every citizen is treated equally, irrespective of their religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. On the other hand, it’s the Fundamental Duty of every citizen to respect others, their rights, and not to discriminate. If everyone practices this duty, it would reinforce the Right to Equality, leading to a more equitable society.
