Select an option to attempt

Explanation

To vote in public elections is not a Fundamental Duty under Article 51A of the Indian Constitution. Although the Swaran Singh Committee recommended making voting a duty, it was not included in the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976. Voting is a constitutional right under Article 326, but not a duty. The other options are explicitly listed as Fundamental Duties: 'To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals' is under Article 51A(a), 'To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform' is under Article 51A(h), and 'To safeguard public property and to abjure violence' is under Article 51A(i).
