Explanation

Fundamental Duties were added to the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976, drawing inspiration from the Russian Constitution (then USSR). They are enumerated in Article 51A. The US Constitution influenced the Fundamental Rights, not duties. The Weimar Constitution influenced emergency provisions, and Ireland influenced the Directive Principles.
