Preamble Row Explained: Why ‘Secular’ And ‘Socialist’ Were Added & What The Supreme Court Says

A fresh debate has erupted after RSS called for removing the words “Socialist” and “Secular” from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. These words were added during the Emergency in 1976 through the 42nd Amendment by Indira Gandhi, aiming to reaffirm state neutrality and pro-poor policies. Critics argue the move was political, while supporters say it gave clarity during a crisis. Though Parliament can amend the Preamble, the Supreme Court has ruled that its basic structure, including these terms, cannot be altered.
