The idea to elucidate the constitutional supremacy required a physical representation and hence on 29 th August 1947, a drafting committee was appointed. The Indian Constitution which is also known as The Law of the Land traces its significant emergence in the year 1946 when the first meeting of the constituent assembly was held post the grant independence of India. A person cannot expect to enjoy all the privileges and freedom under the law without performing their corresponding fundamental duties. Just like all citizens have equal rights, they also have an equal fundamental duty to uphold other rights (mentioned under Article 21)and also make sure that they do not violate these rights. The list of fundamental rights and duties and the Directive Principles of State Policy are sections of the Indian Constitution that elaborate on the essential obligations of the states to its citizens, along with the duties and rights that they hold as Indian citizens.

Originally, the fundamental duties of India was not a part of the Indian Constitution, in fact, they were added by the 42nd and 86th Constitutional Amendment Acts. Fundamental duties basically imply the moral obligations of all citizens of a country and today, there are 11 fundamental duties in India, which are written in Part IV-A of the Constitution, to promote patriotism and strengthen the unity of India.
