Was the word ‘secular’ always part of the Indian Constitution?

The answer may surprise you.

In this in-depth video, Vijender Sir explains the controversy around the inclusion of ‘secular’ and ‘socialist’ in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution - added during the 42nd Amendment in 1976, under Indira Gandhi’s Emergency rule.

From Dr. Ambedkar’s original vision to K.T. Shah’s repeated yet rejected proposals, and from the Kesavananda Bharati judgment to the current legal challenges in the Supreme Court, this video explores:

🔹 Why were ‘secular’ and ‘socialist’ not part of the original Preamble?
🔹 Was their inclusion legally valid under Article 368?
🔹 Does the Basic Structure Doctrine allow such amendments?
🔹 What did Ambedkar really believe about secularism in India?

The Preamble is not just symbolic - it defines the soul of our Republic.

And if that soul is being rewritten, we need to understand how, why, and who gets to do it.

Watch this video to decode the intersection of politics, law, and ideology — and what it tells us about India today.
