Individual rights vs. duties towards the society




Law is a framework having encapsulation of Rights and duties. It circumvent around protection of rights and its infringement. Rights and duties can complement each other, but when the situation in which only one can survive, arises then rights emerged as the sole guardian. Rights are legally protected (in the sense that any person violating the rights of others is guilty and punished under law) and recognised that is why special preference has been provided to some basic rights(right to life, right to profess any profession, right to religion etc) under the heading of Fundamental rights in Indian constitution. These rights are so authoritative that any law made in contravention of fundamental rights shall be declared void. Duties on the other hand are the do’s and don’ts and some rules and regulation which an ideal citizen should follow like stand straight during national anthem, respect elders etc, which if violated shall not be punished but if followed will help in setting an ideal society. One should see if one has a right then others also have the same rights, so one’s enjoyment to right should not violate other’s enjoyment of rights. This is the duty of every individual in an society to respect the rights of others. Your enjoyment of right stops where other’s start. One can not enjoy on someone else’s expense. Man, in enjoyment of his own rights forget about his duties towards the society. This forms the shape of corruption if taken in big form, one can thing it takes place at big position but it is deep rooted in each and every AAM ADMI, I would like to give an example of my colleague. The bus was almost full, there was one seat having capacity of 3 people and only one girl was sitting there, I approached her she did not allow me to sit. She replied to have saved seats for her friends. Now this is corruption even if she has a right to sit and enjoy she had the duty to allow me to sit but she did not. This is were rights contrasts with duties. People don’t understand and commit wrong acts and blames that the Government is corrupt. I have seen students copying in exam, if you can’t restrain yourself how could you expect the rich, because a leader emerge from the public only. If ideal society is to be established then everyone of us has to realise this and have to take steps for proper implementation of both rights and duties.
