Indian Constitution — Social Science STD 8 — Question

Rights and duties are complementary. If we think of certain rights then we have to think of the duties associated with those rights. There is no duty without right; and where there is no right there is no duty. One person's right becomes another person's duty. In order to enjoy each right, every duty has to be fulfilled. When a citizen enjoys his rights. it becomes his duty to uphold the rights of others. It is our duty to walk on the left side of the road. Just as others have the right to walk on that road easily and safely. From this it is clear that without right there is no duty and without duty there is no right. Rights and duties are closely connected with each other. They are the two sides of the same coin.
