In the context of India and generally in civic philosophy, rights and duties are considered to be interconnected and mutually dependent. My right to liberty, for example, implies a duty on others not to unlawfully restrain me, and also arguably a duty on me to respect the liberty of others. While Fundamental Rights are legally enforceable and Fundamental Duties are not, the Constitution aims to strike a balance between individual freedoms and social responsibilities. The idea that rights are correlative with duties emphasizes that the enjoyment of rights comes with the obligation to perform certain duties towards society and the state.
