Preamble as Part of the Constitution

The Preamble is an integral component of the Constitution of India. Although it does not confer any enforceable rights or obligations, it is considered a vital interpretative tool by the judiciary. Its words serve as a moral compass and provide context for understanding the substantive provisions of the Constitution, thereby linking the document’s ideals with its legal and practical applications.

Over time, its role has evolved into a symbol of national unity and a benchmark against which the constitutional framework is measured.
