Question

(ii) The Preamble declares India to be a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular and Democratic Republic.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A.

Both (i) and (ii)

B.

Only (i)

C.

Only (ii)

D.

Neither (i) nor (ii)

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Only (ii) 

Explanation:
• Statement (ii) is correct. The Preamble of the Indian Constitution declares India to be a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic, securing Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity for its citizens.
• Statement (i) is incorrect. The Preamble to the Indian Constitution is not enforceable in a court of law. 

Information Booster:
• The terms 'Socialist' and 'Secular' were added to the Preamble by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976, reflecting India's commitment to social justice and religious neutrality.
• The Preamble is considered a guiding light for interpreting the Constitution, but it does not grant substantive rights independently enforceable in courts.
• The Preamble is a part of the Constitution, affirmed by the Supreme Court in the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973).
