CSIC wants to say about the people’s own Rights and Duties. The Constitution gives us six fundamental rights. The following are the fundamental rights given by our Constitution.
Right to Freedom
Right to freedom is an important fundamental right. Every one is free to express his thoughts and ideas through speeches, writing or through newspapers. He is free to criticize and speak against the policies of the Government, if he does not agree with them. He is free to move about and carry on any trade or business in any part of India.
Right to Freedom of Religion
The State has no religion. It does not favor any religion. All religions are equal before the law. Every citizen is free to practice, propagate and worship any religion he likes. The State does not interfere with anybody’s faith.
Right to Equality
All citizens are equal before the law. There is no discrimination between the rich and the poor, high or the low. There is no discrimination of caste, creed, religion, sex or place of birth. Every citizen can get the highest office for which he has the ability and the required qualifications.
Right to Education and Culture
Every child is tree to receive education in any educational institution without distinction of caste, creed, religion and sex. He is free to receive education up to any level. The minority groups are free to preserve their own language and culture. They are free to give education to their children in any school.
Right Against Exploitation
It means nobody can be forced to do work without wages. Nobody can take a beggar. It also prohibits to take work from anybody against his wishes and the children below 18 years of age to work in factories, mines and other risky occupations.
Right to Constitutional Remedies
This right is the most important right and protects all the fundamental rights. When someone feels that his fundamental rights are being harmed in any way or he is being denied the fundamental rights, he can approach any court of law to seek justice. Supreme Court is the h1ighest court of the country and is the guardian of our fundamental rights.
Rights and duties go side by side. Rights without duties are meaningless. If we do not do our duties properly, we should not expect rights. Therefore our Constitution has listed some fundamental duties for its citizens. We should carry out our duties for the smooth running of our country.
Some of our fundamental duties are as follows.
- We must obey the law of our country.
- We should enjoy our rights and freedom only up to the limit they do not interfere with the freedom and the rights of the others.
- We should defend our country in times of need and if need be, we should sacrifice our life and property for the sake of our country.
- We should protect our National Property. Railways, roadways, bridges, schools, colleges, post-offices, historical buildings and forests are all our national property.
- It is one of our fundamental duties that we must pay our taxes honestly and in time. Our Government is run by the income from our taxes.
CSIC inataka kusema juu ya haki na wajibu wa watu wenyewe. Katiba inatupa haki sita za msingi. Hizi zifuatazo ni haki za msingi zinazopewa na Katiba yetu. Haki ya uhuru Haki ya uhuru ni haki muhimu ya msingi. Kila mtu ana uhuru wa kueleza mawazo yake na mawazo yake kupitia hotuba, kuandika au kupitia magazeti. Yeye ni huru kukosoa na kusema dhidi ya sera za Serikali, kama yeye anakubaliana nao. Ana uhuru wa kusafiri na kufanya biashara yoyote au biashara katika sehemu yoyote ya India. Haki ya Uhuru wa Dini Serikali haina dini. Haipendezi dini yoyote. Dini zote ni sawa mbele ya sheria. Kila raia ana uhuru wa kufanya, kueneza na kuabudu dini yoyote anayependa. Serikali haingiliani na imani ya mtu yeyote. Haki ya usawa Raia wote ni sawa mbele ya sheria. Hakuna ubaguzi kati ya tajiri na maskini, juu au chini. Hakuna ubaguzi wa tabaka, imani, dini, jinsia au mahali pa kuzaliwa. Kila raia anaweza kupata ofisi ya juu ambayo ana uwezo na sifa zinazohitajika. Haki ya elimu na utamaduni Kila mtoto ana haki ya kupata elimu katika taasisi yoyote ya elimu bila tofauti ya tabaka, dini, dini na jinsia. Yeye ni huru kupokea elimu hadi ngazi yoyote. Vikundi vya wachache ni huru kuhifadhi lugha na utamaduni wao wenyewe. Wana uhuru wa kuwafundisha watoto wao katika shule yoyote. Haki dhidi ya Unyanyasaji Inamaanisha hakuna mtu anayeweza kulazimishwa kufanya kazi bila mshahara. Hakuna awezaye kumchukua mwombaji. Sheria hiyo pia inakataza kuchukua kazi kutoka kwa mtu yeyote dhidi ya matakwa yake na watoto chini ya umri wa miaka 18 kufanya kazi katika viwanda, migodi na kazi nyingine zenye hatari. Haki ya Njia za Kikatiba Haki hii ni haki muhimu zaidi na inalinda haki zote za msingi. Mtu akihisi haki zake za msingi zinaharibiwa kwa njia yoyote au anakataliwa haki hizo, anaweza kwenda mahakamani kutafuta haki. Mahakama Kuu ni mahakama ya juu zaidi nchini na ni mlinzi wa haki zetu za msingi. Haki na wajibu huenda pamoja. Haki bila wajibu hazina maana. Ikiwa hatufanyi wajibu wetu vizuri, hatupaswi kutarajia haki. Kwa hiyo Katiba yetu imeorodhesha baadhi ya majukumu ya msingi kwa raia wake. Tunapaswa kutekeleza majukumu yetu kwa ajili ya kuendesha nchi yetu kwa utaratibu. Baadhi ya majukumu yetu ya msingi ni kama ifuatavyo. - Ni lazima tutii sheria ya nchi yetu. Tunapaswa kufurahia haki zetu na uhuru tu hadi kiwango ambacho haingiliani na uhuru na haki za wengine. """Tunapaswa kulinda nchi yetu wakati wa uhitaji na ikiwa inahitajika, tunapaswa kutoa uhai wetu na mali kwa ajili ya nchi yetu." - Tunapaswa kulinda Mali yetu ya Kitaifa. Reli, barabara, madaraja, shule, vyuo vikuu, ofisi za posta, majengo ya kihistoria na misitu yote ni mali yetu ya kitaifa. - Ni moja ya wajibu wetu wa msingi kwamba lazima tulipe kodi zetu kwa uaminifu na kwa wakati. Serikali yetu inaendeshwa na mapato kutoka kwa kodi zetu.
