A Good citizen needs
to imbibe many qualities. That he has some duties and responsibilities to bear
is true, but at the same time he also enjoys some rights and privileges as a
citizen of a Free State while he has every right to participate in
the judicial, legal, political and social affairs of the nation. He has also
some responsibilities i.e. not to injure the sentiments of others and to
protect the weak against the strong. To stand by state under all the
conditions, is his first and foremost duty.
A good citizen must be ready to sacrifice his everything for the
sake of his motherland. He is also required to be a patriot and nationalist. He
should have firm and deep faith in the welfare of his motherland. He has to
observe law and order but his has also to keep in his hear, the betterment of
the country, the welfare of the State, the good of society and the interest of
the nation and possess a good moral conduct.
A good citizen must respect the cultural heritage of his
country, i.e. he will have to respect the heroes, the prophets, the sages and
saints of his country. He must respect the race which has given him birth. He
must always keep in mind the future of this country. He must raise the standard
of living of his country by working honestly. Obedience to laws is the next
important public duty of a citizen. Society can make no progress if the people
have no respect for laws. If a citizen finds that a particular law is bad, he
should try to get if replaced by constitutional means. He should no
un-necessarily resist a law.
Another important duty of a citizen is to pay all taxes levied
by the State. The Stare provides him with the basic needs necessary for his
life, progress and happiness. It must have at its disposal enormous funds to
organize the whole machinery of Government and Public administration and to
perform welfare functions. It is for this reason that citizens are called upon
to pay taxes, and duties etc. In a democracy taxes are determined by the
representatives of the people, and it is the duty of every citizen to pay the
taxes fully and timely.
