Preamble of the Indian Constitution

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Explores the Preamble’s role as the philosophical preface of the Constitution. Beginning with “We, the People,” it establishes the sovereignty of the citizens. The 42nd Amendment (1976) added “Socialist” and “Secular” to reflect India’s commitment to equity and neutrality in religious affairs. It declares India a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic dedicated to the principles of Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. While the Preamble is not legally enforceable, it has been frequently cited in Supreme Court judgments to interpret constitutional provisions. It embodies the core spirit guiding the nation’s governance and social outlook, emphasizing unity in diversity and inclusiveness for all.
