One Should Perform Duties To Claim Rights - What Do You Say?



Human rights are universal and should be provided to each individual by birth- No matter how capable the person is to serve the society.  

Coming to the term duties, the real significance of duties would be achieved not by force or putting up conditions but by the dedicated contribution of the volunteers. 

Duties are performed for a better society but before that the society should make us believe that it belongs to us and respects every individual. 

If I am educated, I get respect in country, and rights are protecting me at every step - then I become morally obliged to serve my society and my country. 

In such a situation, my duties will not be a burden on me but would become my habit and reflect love for my country. 

We should empower people with rights, the duties will be performed automatically.

Rights show us the way and provides moral platform. This platform helps us in performing duties in a better way.

At the same time we cannot separate duties and rights. They grow together and are for the welfare of the society. Both maintain dignity of our citizens. The idea that “you perform duty and then claim rights” seems to be a feudal concept of medieval societies wherein a few people enjoyed privileges and they acted as the “givers of rights”. 

But do we really want such a society wherein we all beg for rights? No! There should not be anyone as the 'Right Giver'. We all are born as respectable human beings and it should be maintained. That’s why even our Constitution makers wholeheartedly showered all the rights, provided we keep in mind the reasonable restrictions. When we would build up a society with children enjoying right to education, citizens with right to information, girls with right to take birth and women with right to safety-there is no doubt a responsible society would be created. Society would love its people and the people would love this world. 

Coming to the other side, if you justify that One Should Perform Duties To Claim Rights, then you indirectly accept the British rule which was cruel and gave us right to life in our country only when we provided them the economic benefits. Do you accept the rule of Dictators who allow you to speak if you perform the duty of obeying them? Do you accept the Communist government which gives you freedom of press when you obey to write only in favour of the government?

If you say that perform duties to claim rights then we are surely going against the democratic ideology which is accepted as the best form of government all over the world. 

Kindly join hands to create a democratic set up which believes in empowering the citizens unconditionally. It is because every political institution or constitution is for the people. People should be strengthened and guided to create a beautiful world.

Pollution Is Our Major Rival

It's a matter of our survival
Pollution is our major rival

Dust and choke
is seen on the road

It's difficult to breathe
Nothing is left to treat

Glasses look hazy
The body feel lazy

Children feel choked
The lungs are closed

What have we done??
What are we doing??

Please question yourself
and look for answers

It's a matter of our survival
Pollution is our major rival
