\nThe unfurling of the National flag was accompanied by the national anthem and pledge over narrations of the Preamble. This was followed by patriotic speeches, cultural programs, prize distribution.<\/p>\n

As we all celebrate 71th Republic Day<\/em> on 26th January 2020<\/em>, let\u2019s reiterate in our heart and mind the preamble– The Introduction to the Indian Constitution.<\/p>\n

In the words of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar– one of the architects of the Indian constitution, \u201cPreamble is a way of life which recognizes liberty, equality, fraternity as the principles of life and which cannot be divorced from each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Preamble states:<\/strong><\/p>\n

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA,<\/em> having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC<\/em> and to secure to all its citizens:<\/p>\n

JUSTICE<\/em>, social, economic and political;<\/p>\n

LIBERTY <\/em>of thought, expression, belief, faith, and worship;<\/p>\n

EQUALITY <\/em>of status and opportunity;<\/p>\n

and to promote among them all<\/p>\n

FRATERNITY<\/em> assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;<\/p>\n

IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY<\/em> this twenty-sixth day of November 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The significance of the Preamble lies in its components.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The terms sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic, republic suggests the nature of Indian states.<\/li>\n

    \n

  • The ideals of equality, liberty, justice reflect the objectives of the constitution for the people of the nation.<\/li>\n

    \n

  • The Preamble promotes fraternity for maintaining the unity and integrity of the nation.<\/li>\n

    \n

  • The Preamble also bears the date (26 November 1949) on which the constitution was adopted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    On 26th January 1950, the constitution of India came into effect, on which Republic Day is celebrated. However, if you are asking, why do we celebrate republic day<\/em>? This day marks India\u2019s transition towards being an Independent nation; hence the day needs to be celebrated with full patriotism and honor.<\/p>\n

    Explaining the keywords in the Preamble:<\/h2>\n

    Sovereign:<\/strong> The word \u201cSovereign\u201d means India is an independent nation and the Legislature Of Indian has the power to enact laws in the country.<\/p>\n

    Socialist:<\/strong>\tThe word \u201cSocialist\u201d was added to the Preamble by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment in 1976. Socialism means the achievement of socialist ends through democratic ways.<\/p>\n

    Secular:<\/strong>\tThe term \u201cSecular\u201d means that all religions that equal respect, protection, and support from the state.<\/p>\n

    Democratic:<\/strong>\u201cDemocratic\u201d indicates the Constitution established a form of government which is by the people, for the people, and of the people.<\/p>\n

    Republic:<\/strong>\tIn a Republic state, the head of the state is elected either directly or indirectly by the people.<\/p>\n

    Justice:<\/strong>\tThe expression \u201cJustice\u201d embraces three forms: social, economic, and political through provisions of Fundamental and Directive principles.<\/p>\n

    Liberty:<\/strong> \tThe word \u201cLiberty\u201d means the liberty of expression, thought, faith, belief, and worship. It also provides freedom from slavery, discrimination, despotism.<\/p>\n

    Equality:<\/strong> \tThe word \u201cEquality\u201d provides equal status and opportunities to all the citizens and people of the country.<\/p>\n

    Fraternity:<\/strong> \t\u201cFraternity\u201d means a feeling of brotherhood. The Preamble urges the people to assure the dignity of the individual and unity, the integrity of the nation.<\/p>\n

    Thus the Preamble to the Constitution of Independent India beautifully reflects the vision of the founding fathers of the Constitution.<\/p>\n
