As there have been incorporated fundamental duties in Indian Constitution even though they were incorporated at a later stage after the passage of the Indian Constitution. The present paper is to make a critical analysis to measure the legal dimensions of the Fundamental Duties enshrined in Part IV-A of the Constitution of India. It is to know whether the incorporation of fundamental duties in the Indian Constitution is merely a formality or a serious work. It is also to know to what extent the Fundamental Duties are enforceable by Indian laws and whether there is enough instrumentality or machinery in the form of laws or other ways (extra-legal disciplines) to make them abided by the people. As these duties belong to citizens of India so this research work is to know why some of these duties or all cannot be followed by foreigners and by the State as well. It is to know whether merely legislations for the enforcement of fundamental duties are enough or some other ways like necessary public opinion and social climate which will give space for implementation of fundamental duties are also required. It is also to be acquainted with whether any other new duties can be added to Indian Constitution and what are the methods to get them enforced among the people of India.
