Question

“To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform”, the above is mandated in Indian Constitution as:

• A. Fundamental Rights
• B. Fundamental Duties
• C. Services under the Union and the States
• D. Directive Principles

Hint:

Article 51A lists Fundamental Duties, including developing scientific temper, humanism, and spirit of inquiry.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The phrase given in the question is from Article 51A of the Indian Constitution. Article 51A deals with Fundamental Duties. One of the Fundamental Duties of every citizen is: \[ \text{to develop scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform}. \] Fundamental Rights are rights given to citizens against the State. Directive Principles are guidelines for the State to frame policies. Services under the Union and States are related to administrative provisions. The statement in the question is not a Fundamental Right or Directive Principle. It is a Fundamental Duty. Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \text{Fundamental Duties}. \]
