Real questions that test this

भारतीय राज्यघटनेत खालीलपैकी कोणते मूलभूत कर्तव्य समाविष्ट नाही ?

1)विज्ञान वृत्तीचा विकास करणे / To develop the scientific temper.
2)सार्वजनिक संपत्तीचे रक्षण करणे / To safeguard public property.
3)मतदान करणे / To cast vote in the election.✓ Correct
4)राज्यघटनेप्रती निष्ठा आणि राज्यघटनेतील आदर्शांचा सन्मान / To respect the Constitution and its ideals.

Fundamental Duties (Article 51A, Part IVA) were added by the 42nd Amendment. Non-fundamental duties like paying taxes as a specific duty format or family planning are often falsely listed, whereas voting in elections is a statutory/democratic right, not explicitly a fundamental duty under 51A.
