The statement “To value and preserve a unitary national culture” is not mentioned as a duty of every citizen in Part-IVA of the Constitution of India.
Part IVA of the Indian Constitution, introduced by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, lists the Fundamental Duties in Article 51A. The duty listed in Article 51A(f) is “to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture”. The phrase “unitary national culture” is not used; instead, the emphasis is on “composite culture,” reflecting India’s diversity.
The other options are indeed listed as Fundamental Duties:
(A) To render national service when called upon to do so (Article 51A(d)).
(B) To renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women (Article 51A(e)).
(D) To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform (Article 51A(h)).
There are currently eleven Fundamental Duties in total (the 11th duty regarding education was added by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002).
