\nThe correct answer is The word ‘Secular’ was always a part of the Preamble.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis statement is incorrect. The words ‘Socialist’, ‘Secular’, and ‘Integrity’ were not part of the original Preamble to the Constitution of India adopted on 26th January 1950. These words were added to the Preamble by the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatements A, B, and C are correct. The Supreme Court, in the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973), held that the Preamble is a part of the Constitution and can be amended, provided the basic structure is not altered. The Preamble outlines the objectives and ideals of the Constitution, such as Justice, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Sovereignty, Socialist, Secular, and Democratic Republic. The word ‘Socialist’ was indeed added by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976.
