Detailed Explanation / विस्तृत व्याख्या

Hindi

भारतीय संविधान की प्रस्तावना भारत को एक "सार्वभौम (Sovereign), समाजवादी (Socialist), धर्मनिरपेक्ष (Secular), लोकतांत्रिक (Democratic), गणराज्य (Republic)" घोषित करती है।

42वें संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 1976 द्वारा प्रस्तावना में "समाजवादी" और "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" शब्द जोड़े गए थे।

इन शब्दों का अर्थ:

  • सार्वभौम (Sovereign): भारत किसी अन्य देश के अधीन नहीं है।
  • समाजवादी (Socialist): सामाजिक और आर्थिक न्याय की स्थापना।
  • धर्मनिरपेक्ष (Secular): सभी धर्मों के प्रति समान व्यवहार।
  • लोकतांत्रिक (Democratic): जनता द्वारा चुनी गई सरकार।
  • गणराज्य (Republic): राष्ट्राध्यक्ष निर्वाचित होता है, वंशानुगत नहीं।

English

The Preamble of the Indian Constitution declares India to be a "Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic."

The words "Socialist" and "Secular" were added through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.

Meaning of these terms:

  • Sovereign: India is independent in internal and external affairs.
  • Socialist: Commitment to social and economic justice.
  • Secular: Equal respect for all religions.
  • Democratic: Government elected by the people.
  • Republic: The head of state is elected, not hereditary.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect / अन्य विकल्प गलत क्यों हैं?

Federal (संघीय)

❌ India has a federal structure, but the word "Federal" is not mentioned in the Preamble.

Union (संघ)

❌ The term "Union of States" appears in Article 1, not in the Preamble.
