Framing The Constitution
Read the following passage and answer the question that follows :
“For the success of democracy one must train oneself in the art of self discipline. In democracies one should care less for himself and more for others. There can’t be any divided loyalty. All loyalties must exclusively be centered round the state. If in a democracy, you create rival loyalties or you create a system in which any individual or a group, instead of suppressing his extravagance cares not for larger or other interests, then democracy is doomed.”
In the light of the above passage highlight the values which a loyal citizen of a democratic country should uphold.
(i) Self discipline.
(ii) Loyalty to the nation.
(iii) Firm believe in democracy.
(iv) Nation above selfish ends.
(v) Patriotism.
(vi) Feeling of collective belonging.
(vii) Secularism and tolerance.
(viii) Feeling of integrity and dutifulness.
(ix) Values of social justice, equality, fraternity.
