The Preamble of our constitution states that India is a ...................... .

  • A.Sovereign and secular
  • B.Sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic
  • C.Secular and democratic
  • D.Secular, sovereign and democratic republic

Answer: B

The Preamble describes India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic.

The Preamble as adopted in 1949 read 'Sovereign Democratic Republic'. The 42nd Amendment of 1976 inserted the words 'Socialist' and 'Secular', giving the full description now in force: 'a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC'.

The other options each leave out part of that description. 'Sovereign and secular' and 'Secular and democratic' omit both 'republic' and other key words, and 'Secular, sovereign and democratic republic' omits 'socialist'.
