Other than the Fundamental Rights, which of the following parts of the Constitution of India reflect /reflects the principles and provisions of the Universal Declartion of Human Rights (1948)? 1) Preamble 2) Directive Principles of State Policy 3) Fundamental Duties Select the correct answer using the code given below:

The correct answer is D. All three parts draw on the UDHR, which is why the question sets Fundamental Rights aside: they are the most obvious echo of the Declaration's civil and political rights.

• Statement 1 (Preamble): Justice (social, economic and political), liberty of thought, expression, belief and worship, and equality of status and opportunity mirror the UDHR's core commitments to dignity, equality and non-discrimination in Articles 1, 2 and 7.
• Statement 2 (DPSP, Part IV): Articles 38, 39, 41, 42, 43 and 47 on welfare, adequate livelihood, public assistance, just working conditions and nutrition correspond to UDHR Articles 22 to 26 on social security, work, rest, standard of living and education.
• Statement 3 (Fundamental Duties, Article 51A): Duties such as promoting harmony, protecting the environment and developing scientific temper reflect Article 29 of the UDHR, which recognises duties to the community.

Since all three statements are correct, option D is the answer. For Mains, the Preamble and DPSP framework is a useful reference point when discussing how India's constitutional commitments relate to international human rights standards.

Trap: Aspirants assume that because Fundamental Rights mirror the UDHR, the other parts do not, or they treat Fundamental Duties as unrelated to human rights.
