The words "SOCIALIST SECULAR" were inserted in the Preamble of the Constitution by which constitutional amendment?

  • A.Forty First amendment.
  • B.Forty Second amendment.
  • C.Forty Fourth amendment.
  • D.Forty Sixth amendment.

Answer: B

The words were inserted by the Forty Second amendment.

The Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976 added 'SOCIALIST SECULAR' to the description of India in the Preamble and changed 'unity of the Nation' to 'unity and integrity of the Nation'.

The Forty-fourth Amendment (1978) undid several Emergency-era changes and removed the right to property as a fundamental right, but left these words in place. The Forty-first and Forty-sixth Amendments dealt with other subjects.
