19. What are the criticisms of the Fundamental Duties

1. The list of duties is not exhaustive as it does not cover other important duties like casting vote, paying taxes, family planning and so on.
2. Some of the duties are vague, ambiguous and difficult to be understood by the common man.
3. They have been described as a code of moral precepts due to their non-justiciable character.
4. Their inclusion in the Constitution was described as superfluous.
5. The inclusion of fundamental duties as an appendage to Part IV of the Constitution has reduced their value and significance.
