India: Government Won't Remove 'Socialism,' 'Secularism' From Preamble

The government has said it will not try to remove the words 'socialism' and 'secularism' from the beginning of the country's rules, which is called the Preamble.

These words were added during a past emergency.

The government said it has no plans to change these words, even though some people might be talking about it.

Changing the Preamble would require lots of discussion and agreement.

Also, the highest court in the country has already said these words are okay and important to how the country works.
