Which one of the following is included in Article 51A (Part-IV A) of the Constitution of India?

Article 51A, contained within Part IV-A of the Constitution of India, specifically enumerates the Fundamental Duties of its citizens [1]. This part was not included in the original Constitution but was inserted by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976, following the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee [1]. Initially, there were ten duties, which were later increased to eleven by the 86th Amendment Act in 2002. These duties include abiding by the Constitution, respecting the National Flag and National Anthem, and protecting the sovereignty and integrity of India [2]. In contrast, the suspension of Fundamental Rights is governed by Articles 358 and 359, special powers of Governors are found in Part VI, and Writs are primarily associated with Articles 32 and 226 [2].
