According to the dictionary print is something which is imprinted on one’s mind firmly. Hence, it is utmost important to be ethical in doing business
 
According to law, the fundamental duty of citizen book says: Excel in all the individual achievements you undertake and alleviate our nation to the next level
 
We fear law because there is a lack of understanding of the law because we don’t know the law. Will you expose yourself to something which is risky? The law comes into play only when you do something which is not fair to others. Hence, there is no need to fear the law
 
When the need for written regulations arises it indicates serious problems. It is only when something goes wrong, the law comes into play. Law by nature is protective and emphatic, hence, search answers and ask yourself if you are on a right path. Self-regulation mechanism is very important in oneself
 
Ask the right questions to yourself. Why is there a need for multiple legislations and these laws brought in India? Earlier there was not a law to protect the consumers. It is only when unethical business practices were followed the constitution has to intervene
 
With every right, there is a corresponding duty. Unfortunately, in India, we are not discharging our duties in an ethical way; this is evident from the number of cases piled up
