The document discusses citizenship and civic duties. It states that while citizenship primarily refers to living in a city, it more broadly means belonging to a state. It also discusses the importance of following both written laws and unwritten social rules for maintaining peace and harmony. It notes that many Indians lack civic sense by disregarding unwritten rules regarding littering, spitting, wasting water, and causing public disturbances - and that good citizens not only follow rules themselves but ensure others do as well for the benefit of society.

2. 'Citizen' primarily means one who lives in a city. But the
term is generally used in a wider sense to mean one
belonging to a state.Hence,every Indian is a citizen of
India whether he lives in a city, a village or on the hills.
Every society has some definite rules of conduct for its
members in order that there may be peace and harmony
among them. Some of these rules are laid down as
written laws and there are many unwritten rules which
are no less binding on every member of the society.
Peace and happiness of the society depend a good deal
upon the proper observance of these rules too. A good
citizen takes as much care about these unwritten rules of
conduct as about the written laws.

3. Unfortunately, many in our country are careless about the
former. We often throw orange and banana peels about in
the street on which somebody may slip and break his bone.
We also spit and throw things from above on the streets
below. This makes the streets dirty and the things may fall
on the persons passing along.
We waste water by leaving the taps open. Village people
often wash the clothes of persons suffering from infectious
diseases in ponds from which they draw their drinking
water.

4. We see people standing at the entrance of trams
and buses even when there is room inside. They
do not care the least about the inconvenience it
causes to persons getting down or getting in. We
also have bitter experiences about the use of
loudspeakers without any thought of the
sufferings of people nearby.

5. All these common experiences show that we are
lacking in civic sense. A good citizen not only avoids
breaking the rules himself but also sees to it that
they are not broken by others. We expect society to
give us peace and happiness. However society
cannot do much unless we help it to help us.

6. So whenever we see a person doing any
wrong, it is our duty to try to correct him. We
should also help the authorities in maintaining
law and order and peace for the general
happiness of all.
