The phrase “To cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for freedom” is explicitly listed as one of the Fundamental Duties of every citizen of India.
This duty is found under Article 51A(b) of the Constitution, which is part of Part IVA dealing with Fundamental Duties. This part was added to the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee.
The Preamble outlines the objectives of the Constitution but does not list individual duties. Fundamental Rights (Part III) guarantee certain rights to citizens and persons. Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV) are guidelines for the state in formulating policies, not duties of individual citizens.
