By which Constitutional Amendment was the term 'Socialist' included in the Preamble ?
Answer: C
'Socialist' was added to the Preamble by the Forty-second Constitutional Amendment.
The 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, passed during the Emergency, inserted the words 'Socialist' and 'Secular', and changed 'unity of the Nation' to 'unity and integrity of the Nation'. It is the only amendment so far to change the Preamble.
The First and Second Amendments (1951 and 1952) dealt with other matters, such as land reform and the scale of representation in the Lok Sabha. The 44th Amendment (1978) reversed several Emergency-era changes but left these words in place.
