RIGHTS AND DUTIES

Dear Friend,

Much has been said about the rights and duties of the individual. In society, an individual has both rights and duties-rights from birth and duties to society. It is not enough for anybody to claim only his rights and ignore his duties. Claiming of right must be a natural concomitant to performing certain duties. There is equilibrium in nature and the individual must balance his life and bring harmony between his rights and duties. If an individual does not do his duty, somebody else will have to do his work, because the cycle of life must move on and we can lift weight from one place only throwing greater weight an another palce, thereby disturbing the balance. The same logic appliex to rights, somebody else will have any easy access to add to this own rights and this again will be a precursor to a great disharmony in life, and that is how the process of exploitation of an individual by another individual is that he should “learn to labour in striking a balance between rights and duties, one must, however take care that duties should precede rights. An individual should be up and doing. He should have a heart for everything. The greatest education of an individual, and to wait” If our educational institutions do not impart this code of education to the students, they need not give them any education at all.

Yours sincerely.
