The Preamble: The Soul and Identity Card of the Indian Constitution
In this video, we dive deep into the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, exploring why eminent jurist N.A. Palkhivala called it the "identity card of the Constitution". We break down its historical origins, the significance of its keywords, and its evolving legal status in the eyes of the Supreme Court.

📌 What You’ll Learn:
• Introduction & History: Discover how the Preamble serves as the preface or essence of the Constitution, based on Pandit Nehru’s ‘Objectives Resolution’.
• The Four Ingredients: Understand where the Constitution derives its authority (the people) and the objectives it seeks to achieve.
• Key Terminology: A detailed look at the nature of the Indian State: Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, and Republic.
• The 42nd Amendment: Learn about the three critical words—Socialist, Secular, and Integrity—added in 1976.
• Legal Landmark Cases: We explore the journey from the Berubari Union case (1960) to the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973), which finally established the Preamble as an integral part of the Constitution.

💡 Key Takeaways:
• Source of Power: The Preamble states that the Constitution derives its authority from "We, the People of India".
• Nature of Socialism: India follows "Democratic Socialism," which is a blend of Marxism and Gandhism, leaning heavily toward Gandhian socialism.
• Secularism: India embodies a positive concept of secularism, where all religions receive equal status and support from the state.
• Amenability: The Preamble can be amended under Article 368, provided the "basic features" are not destroyed.
• Justiciability: It is non-justiciable, meaning its provisions are not enforceable in a court of law.
