Explanation
The phrase "To uphold and protect the Sovereignty, Unity and Integrity of India" is a specific provision enumerated under the Fundamental Duties. Article 51A(c) of the Indian Constitution states that it shall be the duty of every citizen of India "to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India."
