Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Socialist, Secular and IntegrityA. समाजवादी, पंथनिरपेक्ष और अखंडता
Explanationव्याख्या
According to the source, the words 'Socialist,' 'Secular' and 'Integrity' were added to the Preamble through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.
The source later states that the Preamble has been amended only once, and this amendment was made through the 42nd Amendment.
These additions altered the wording describing the character and objectives of the Indian State. 'Socialist' and 'Secular' were inserted into the description of the Republic, while 'Integrity' was added alongside the objective concerning the unity of the nation.
The source therefore treats the 42nd Amendment as a particularly important constitutional event in relation to the Preamble.
For examination purposes, remember the compact formula: 42nd Amendment, 1976—Socialist, Secular and Integrity—only amendment to the Preamble according to the source.
स्रोत के अनुसार 42वें संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 1976 द्वारा प्रस्तावना में 'समाजवादी', 'पंथनिरपेक्ष' और 'अखंडता' शब्द जोड़े गए। स्रोत आगे बताता है कि प्रस्तावना में अब तक केवल एक बार संशोधन हुआ है और वह 42वें संशोधन द्वारा किया गया। 'समाजवादी' और 'पंथनिरपेक्ष' शब्द भारत के राज्य स्वरूप के वर्णन में जोड़े गए, जबकि 'अखंडता' शब्द राष्ट्र की एकता से संबंधित उद्देश्य के साथ जोड़ा गया। इसलिए प्रस्तावना के संदर्भ में 42वां संशोधन अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण है। परीक्षा के लिए सूत्र—42वां संशोधन, 1976 = समाजवादी + पंथनिरपेक्ष + अखंडता; प्रस्तावना में एकमात्र संशोधन।
