The ambit of fraternity and the wages of oblivion
Context:
The ‘fraternity’ is among the basic values inscribed in the Preamble of the Constitution of India and must not be treated as a separate item from equality and liberty.
Fraternity and the Responsibility of a citizen:
- The idea of fraternity: Although it was defined during the French Revolution as a slogan, but there is a vagueness in it, and appears to be an emotion rather than a principle. In the Indian context, the Preamble reflects the relevance of the dignity of the individual and the unity of the nation in relation to the sense of fraternity.
- The missing element of harmony: The element of harmony was absent when India started its journey as a republic. However, shape 42nd Amendment (1976) in Article 51A (e) on Fundamental Duties visualized the same as the duty of every citizen of India.
- Role of an individual citizen: The responsibility of actualizing the laid constitutional provisions does not solely rest with the state but seems to be the responsibility of the individual citizen too.
