Govt. Has No Plans to Remove 'Socialist,' 'Secular' from Preamble

The government said it's not planning to remove the words 'socialist' and 'secular' from the beginning of India's Constitution.

These words were added a long time ago.

Some people have talked about removing them, but the government has stated that they aren't going to do anything about it.

The government also pointed out a court decision that explains what these words mean in the context of India.

Basically, 'socialist' means the government cares about people's well-being and 'secular' means the country respects all religions.
