In the context of India, which one of the following is the correct relationship between Rights and Duties ?
A
Rights are correlative with Duties.
Correct Answer
B
Rights are personal and hence independent of society and Duties.
C
Rights, not Duties, are important for the advancement of the personality of the citizen.
D
Duties, not Rights, are important for the stability of the State.
Explanation
Rights are correlative with duties because they are inextricably linked; the enjoyment of a right by one individual necessitates the fulfillment of a corresponding duty by others and the state. Option (c) is incorrect because the holistic advancement of a citizen's personality requires both the exercise of rights and the performance of social obligations, rather than rights in isolation. The core concept tested is the reciprocal and complementary relationship between Fundamental Rights and Fundamental Duties in a democratic polity.
