The correct option is B. The Swaran Singh Committee recommended the insertion of Fundamental Duties into the Constitution of India.
– The Swaran Singh Committee was constituted by the Indian government in 1976 to study the question of amending the Constitution during the National Emergency.
– Among its key recommendations was the inclusion of a chapter on Fundamental Duties of citizens in the Constitution.
– Based on its recommendations, the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, added Part IVA to the Constitution, which comprises Article 51A listing the Fundamental Duties.
– Initially, ten Fundamental Duties were added. A eleventh duty was added later by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002.
– Fundamental Duties are inspired by the Constitution of the erstwhile USSR.
– Unlike Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced by courts.
– The other options (Doctrine of Pleasure, Nomination of Anglo-Indian Members, Impeachment of the President) were already part of the original Constitution or related to existing provisions.
