Which of the following is NOT secured to the citizens of India by the Preamble of the Constitution of
India?

Correct option is C

The Correct Answer is Equality of Income. The Preamble of the Indian Constitution ensures Justice (Social, Economic, and Political), Liberty (of Thought, Expression, Belief, Faith, and Worship), Equality (of Status and Opportunity), and Fraternity (assuring the dignity of the individual and unity and integrity of the nation). However, "Equality of Income" is NOT mentioned in the Preamble. Instead, the Preamble guarantees equality of status and opportunity, which means equal access to resources, opportunities, and rights, but it does not ensure that everyone will have the same income.
