Which Constitutional Amendment inserted the words 'Socialist' and 'Secular' in the preamble of the Indian Constitution ?
Answer: D
The words were inserted by the Forty-second Amendment.
The Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976, passed during the Emergency, added 'Socialist' and 'Secular' to the Preamble and changed 'unity of the Nation' to 'unity and integrity of the Nation'.
The First Amendment (1951) dealt with land reform and restrictions on free speech, the Forty-first with the retirement age of members of Public Service Commissions, and the Forty-fourth (1978) undid many changes of the Forty-second but kept these two words.
