- The terms ‘secular’ and ‘socialist’ were not included in the initial draft of the Preamble. It was added later in 1976 by Indira Gandhi. This has been used by many to question if the two words should be removed. In this week’s Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna explains why the words were omitted, why it was added later and what it means to India if it is removed once again.

The more I read and understand about Babasaheb Ambedkar, the greater the awe and respect I feel towards him. His argument regarding the term "socialist," to describe our Constitution, is spot on. In a democratic country, where the nation's policies -- especially with regard to the economic framework -- are chosen by the people through the electoral system, how can there be a pre-announced choice of socialism? As Babasaheb rightly points out, what if the vast majority of the electorate wants a capitalist system? Should the government just tell them, "Oh, no, that is just not for you to decide. That has already been fixed for eternity by the makers of our Constitution"?
India needs a Government like china , democracy gives you too much freedom and sometime that's a curse...democracy hatao desh bachao
@hkumar7340
I understand where you are coming from
but by that logic we can't guarantee in the constitution any right to the ownership of private businesses
or atleast large private businesses
as Marxists seem much more concerned about large private businesses than small ones.
Also if you want people to vote on the economy I would argue the most democratic way of having people vote on the economy would be allowing them to vote on how much labour and resources in the country would be dedicated to each sector.
@@doit3409 "Vote on how much labour and resources... be dedicated to each sector?" I don't have the faintest clue as to what you are referring to. Where in the world do people vote like that? I can't think of any nation where sectoral resource allocation is decided by country-wide votes, do enlighten me if there are any such countries.
Let me make my point clear: if India is officially 'socialist,' can any political party offer 'market reforms' or 'privatization' as part of their manifesto? Wouldn't they be going against the constitution if they did that? In such a case, how could the majority of the people (assuming that they really wanted such reforms) get to choose these policies? Is it fair to tie the hands of our population to the "socialist framework" forever, even if they desperately want to go in a different direction? How is that "democratic"?
I applaud BJP for touching complicated subjects like terroism, Baabri, Article 370, Criminal bill, Tripple Talaq bill, China App ban, Manipur border fencing, Examinations bill, ban on coaching to control student suiicide, UCC, CAA, GST bill, Bank regulation/UPI/ Digitization bill, Reservation bill, Etc..which Congress avoided to not loose vote bank..
Because People in Bihar have been questioning that is 7 decades less for any country to get 100% literacy?? Girl child education or toilets in schools??...
70 years!!! Remember South korea got independence with Insia in 1948 only.. but such huge contrast!!
Going by 9 years of BJP term...Congrass should have done all this in 9 years after independence only in 1957!!!
But 7 decades of loot is how i would call Congrass's lifetime tenure!.. I mean who can forget the 9 $cams in 9 years if UPA before 2014!
For the first time in History if India... opposition party, China, Pakistan, US, Maldives, Canada want the same thing... They all do not want Modi in power!
@@BhavikaParmar-ly9vgman the brainwash this country is doomed .
Madam comfortably glosses over the fact tat secularism by definition means separation of state and religion for ALL religions, not selectively pick the majority religion for your convenience , control lakhs and crores of wealth of institutions on 1 religion only and paying the fees for others from the same pocket.
That is just pseudo secularism....And for socialism, the less said the better, even after 75 years all we have done is moved from garibi hatao to Modi hatao...what a fall for us as a country.
Very interesting argument. But one question, when the undivided India was partitioned based on religion, why India should be secular? We agreed for a separate country for muslims, then it is understood that the remaining part of India is for Hindus only. When the other minorities are happily living in India,why only Muslims create trouble ?
Indeed.
No Muslim is creating the problem...only haters of muslims like you clubbed with godi media and right wing extremists Hindus are spreading a false propaganda that muslims are creating problems.... we are not in a majority in any governments; we have no say in any policy decisions but still we are creating problems.... this is called HYPOCRISY.....
Since independence, barring some good governance, majority of Hindu politicians have taken India backward only in terms of development and today the world is laughing at us....We have PM who have deserted his wife; we have the richest man of Asia who is close to the PM; We have home minister whose son is BCCI secretary and once this HM was declared as tadipar by a court; we have highest unemployment in 45 years; we have slipped down to the lowest in world hunger index and press freedom; we have had electoral bonds where ruling government has amassed wealth by corrupt practices; we have PM care funds whose audit can't be done; we have had Demonetisation; we have had poor implementation of GST; we have had many Hindus looted the country's wealth and run away;
Once Mughal ruled ended; you Hindus handed over India on a golden plate to BRITISHERS and made India a third world country, and now spreading FAKE propaganda about muslims.... Hindus like you are a blot to the nation, it is because of Hindus like, India has not been able to achieve a developed country status....only loot and corruption is what Hindus have given India barring some good political years all over India......
Now don't tell me to go Pakistan 😂😂😂😂😂 I ain't going anywhere... India is our country and we fought for it unlike extremists like you whose forefathers sided with BRITISHERS 😂😂😂😂😂
India was against the partition. It was the demand of the proponents of two nation theory to partition the country on the basis of religion, which was resisted by the Indian leadership of that time. India cannot subscribe to the lame communal logic of creation of Pakistan. So we are not a country based on religion like Pakistan. We are not copying their misdeeds. If India becomes a religion based country, the communal ideology behind the creation of Pakistan becomes legitimised.
Except Muslim there are other relegions. Hindus are the name give British equal to name others. Hindus are not homogeneous. It is diversified. It is life stlye with varitions.
@@kareemkhan-hv1yp the Pakistan was created for likes of you.
Who Associate themselves with invaders.
Oh so unless you are in majority you can't dictate,
Fair enough How a handful of British were able to Torture crores of Hindus,
So Brahmins who were in minority in past wouldn't have done atrocity just because they are less in no.
Yes Al- quaida, JEM all are Hindu organisation,
Few days ago Some darululoom Called for gazwa-e-hind.
So bold of you to have a holier than thou attitude.
From Haj subsidy to Waqf board to providing Free IAS coaching to Muslims only, to numerous Schemes which benefitted Muslims only,
You have the audacity to say we have no say in policies?
The title should be "Let me Poojasplain."
Poojasplain: Explaining well established facts to a largely vegetated liberal audience with a cosmetic seriousness
Untill the UCC is not implemented in India, India is not a secular state ! So, India is rightly not mentioned as a secular state in the original preample of the constitution of India !
You missed ( on purpose) the most important point. Indian civil code is based on religion. So Indian constitution cannot be called secular until UCC is implemented.
Secularism is division of religion and state.
So you are basically saying that constituent assembly itself had rejected 'Secular and Socialist', but Indira Gandhi fraudulently added them? If there was no clarity on what does it mean 'secular' why are you saying that constitution was already secular? If it was, why there is need to add it? A lot of questions arise ...
Its a red herring ..
The preamble and the last line of the constitution makes the republic a frqudulent entity with regard to international law..
Since it rejects the accession treaty..and the preamble is a fraudulent statemnt which offers insurance and guarantee to rights to citizens by the people of constitutent assembly who were under oath to the crown ..when the assmebly via the last article is in violation of the Crown oath and international treaty law with the princiely states ...
A i bot censors these comments
@@kaydee3407MODERATOR IS A KHANGRESSI COOLIE
Like constitution is needed for dalits entry to temples, constitution is also needed for ending triple talaq, women entry to mosques.
Constitution is secular but sadly govt controls hindu temples. And constitution says govt priority to setup minority religious institutions which itself is not secular.
Hello Mam, please do make a video about Tamil Nadu fishermen being killed arrested, and tortured by the Sri Lankan navy and how India has been indifferent to this issue and has ignored the interest of Tamilians and considered them to be not even Indians.
IT WAS KHANGRESS WHO GAVE KACHAITIVU ISLAND TO SRI LANKA JUST LIKE COCO ISLAND
EVERY ANTI INDIA ACT HAS A KHANGRESSI LINK
Any links to this news ..
@@kaydee3407Google search dude. So far, there has been close to 1000 people kiled over the last couple of decades. One article is not gonna give u all the details
The 13 member SC bench verdict in the Keshav Bharati vs State of kerala in 1973, made it illegal for parliament to alter the pre-amble( basic structure) of the constitution . Yet Indira was allowed to do it. !!
"I will answer you right here, right now. My friends say that last time I said that I wanted to burn the constitution. Last time I did not give the reason in a hurry. Now that my friend has given me a chance, I think I should tell the reason. The reason is that we built a temple for the Lord to live in but before the Lord was installed there, if a demon comes and lives there, apart from demolishing that temple What is fodder? We didn’t make it for the demons to live in. We made it for the deities. That’s why I said that I want to burn it."
- Bhimrao Ramarao Ambedkar
Selective reading of Ambedkar won't help you, Pooja.
Can you give the reference or context of this ?
Lady must also realise that shes not the teacher of the show and expects pupil to dutifully listened and accepted.
The fact is that Emergency was draconian period during which time entire opposition was in jail and peoples voice suppressed and press censor in full force. In these dark days, the word got imposed and its immaterial why it cd not b done in 1950s by Constitution Authors. It was not done for their best reasons and thats it.
Hindu's are secular themselves but if u want to reduce them to mínority offcourse its not acceptable
In india secular means appeasement of muslim
Totally agree. Socialism and secularism are the basic structure of the Constitution of India. They are the essence and very idea of India.
But how to explain to uneducated and illiterate sanghis and BJP RSS politicians? They want to take India to stone age.
Exactly
If India was secular before also( which I agree) & it had not change anything after inserting it,I'm sure these pseudo-secularist will be 1st one to make hue & cry after its removal.
Come on! B.R Ambedkar was not so dumb or time paucity that he doesn't think imp. enough to include secular in the constitution.
Thankfully Mr Modi is restoring everything.10yrs ago many things were seems impossible,is now reality.He has change the face & character of republic in such a small time is unimaginable.
Robert Vadra paid chanel 😂😂😂😂
ROBERT Vdera. Is not Adani
@@rakhimukerji7937 😂😂 yes Robert Vadra was india no 1 honest person 😂😂😂😂
The word secular is alien to Indian culture. It has been thursts upon the Indian ethos e.g , In Abrahamic religion, the founders are guiding principles and no one can take divergent views. The word secularism is like a football playing by the convent educated illiterate accidental Hindus. In Hindu Dharma (not religion) infinite is both positive and negative but One. A person who opposes the idea of another person is called Nastik ("Sod Bipra Bahuda Badanti") unlike Christian to Hiden, Muslim to Kaffer, Communists to Reactionary forces and empowers the dominating forces with holy duty to kill his opponents! (eg. Lelin, Mao's, Mughals, Christians, Muslims killed their opponents in the name of Jehad, Crusade, revolution. But If he is a Hindu, his opponents had never been killed like them. But the binding forces among the different denominations of Hindu Society are purity in mind, soul and the means to achieve this is "Brahmmochorya". (Not celibacy) which is the greatest gift of Hindu culture to entire humanity. This can be achieved by practicing individually. Hijab is not the solution. Controlling by force will not yield any fruitful result in the society or any person.
Secular and social keywords ahould be kicked out
'Secular' and 'Socialist' omitted for present day poor and illiterate vote banks.
But was added when literacy was high and poverty was low! Wow!
To uphold secular values we need Humans as rulers not Monsters .
Tell us when you find humans which follows sunnat
I think it would be better if you can give some book references or recommendations related to the topics you are addressing .
Will surely give more references. Thanks for the suggestion
Balanced discussion. "Liberal secular democracy" would have been more in the spirit of modernity. "Socialist" carried baggage - failed socialism in the USSR and the Eastern Europe
What it was not failed but successful and it fall was due to america and not it own.
Did not know Mrs Gandhi made changes to constitution. Never learnt in school
Brilliant. More like these please. Thanks

People who speaks facts speak it quietly and firmly and don't have to shout it in our face like our Godi anchors
Muslims reservations given by Congress gov in ap is secular 😂😂😂😂
India was sanatan, Islamic and pseudo Islamic called Secular.
these uneducated people must take note that this country will break apart if its not secular.
India is democratic country... Not secular...
TNM.. Huge respect.
While secularism is important for our country, from a Hindu perspective and a historical perspective, Muslims got what they wanted, 2 countries, what did we got as “Hindus”? I think rather than a Hindu Rashtra, Dharmic Rashtra is more correct term for Hindutva narrative because Hindu Rashtra excludes other Dharmic religions like Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism.
Currently Secularism is in the paper
Aunty is working very hard for pappu 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Correct 😂
Good video Pooja and TNM team. Would have also been good to add that secularism as a basic feature of the constitution has been upheld by the SC in SR Bommai case and Keshavanada Bharati case. Many aspects of the directive principles..in addition to what you mention also show India to be a socialist state. Eg. State should endeavour to reduce inequality, resources to be used for greater common good etc
HV Kamth is from Mangalore
He was born and studied in Mangalore.
In 1952 He was elected to the lower House of Parliament, the Lok Sabha, from Narmadapuram (Hoshangabad), Madhya Pradesh, as a member of Praja Socialist Party.
Good.
About fundamental duties
I believe that both the words “secular” and “socialist” impose restrictions on a democratic nation.
मुझे लगता है कि “धर्मनिरपेक्ष” और “समाजवादी” ये दोनों शब्द एक सच्चे लोकतांत्रिक राष्ट्र पर प्रतिबंध लगाते हैं।
No they don't capitalism is just rule of rich and undemocratic and India always has been capitalist and casteist which has restricted India.
@@vishalpatkar6819If you knew what capitalism meant and if you had tracked the Nifty 50 over a period of 30 years you would know that the rich keep changing every few years. Far faster than elections are held. Capitalism throws up rich people faster than elections do

Thank you! Do let us know if you want me to take up any particular issue next week
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pappu media chanel 😂😂😂😂
political advantage gained by indira be undone to make the original pristine and unpolluted. May be BJP gains similar political milege for some years. You ignored the fact Indira did that in her 6th year in office which is illegal as mandate is only for 5 yrs. Why you forget this background. Also as threats evolve , why not secure this land for sanatana dharma with equal rights for others . There are 56 countries and good number of abrahamic religions securing one for future generation of hindus is it a criminal sin? You are seeking plight of hindus in pak, Bangladesh.. in future hindu country would be safe for all religions as inherently tolerant society. But congress claim that muslim own first right on resources is it not violation of constitution
Too much democracy and diversity has kílled Indian soul
Yup, Untouchability has wading out which is the soul of India for centuries.
Soul of India is superstition to the core ,hate one another in the name of caste and religion, be selfish to the core, care a dam about public place and exploit the poor.
ometed it was never part of it congress amended it lol original constitution don't have it
don't waste your and our time in discussing such boring topics.
Including secular and socialist was the best thing in our constitution. People are stupid and selfish to not realise this.
If India should be a secular state the UCC should be implemented in India ! Otherwise, India is not a secular state !
Really
what is waqf board
If India is secular then why government collecting money from only Hindu temples
Than why Muslims opposing UCC
Answer me what actually secularism means is it their to appease only Muslim community
@@musicrelaxationofficial4590 i support securalism.
I don't support waqf of Muslim appeasement.
Don't mix two things.
Those are political propaganda. It has nothing to do with securalism.
Integrity word was also added by 42nd amendment
If BJP wants original preamble they should also let go of unity and integrity...
Which they don't want..
So between 1947-76 there was no integrity before the word was inserted??
Point is India was united and integrated even before these words are added ,like iIndians always had religious tolerance even before secularism is added...hence these words didn't make what India is today,but Indian civilization is like this-we always are united despite the differences!Even if these words are deleted,doesn't make any difference, bcoz the civilization is naturally like that!
@@pavithra.m1505 The words Secular and Socialist were introduced under pressure from the leftist eco system. They wanted to make sure that India never became a hindurashtra or a pure capitalists economy. Even though these words were illegally inserted nobody questioned it. It is illegal to tamper with the Preamble.
India is the Country of multiple Religions . Can never be Secular
Let us understand that the implementation of the UCC in India could make India a secular state !
Aunty don't jump here and there
Come straight to the point
Why did KHANGRESS JAIL THE WHOLE OPPOSITION and added the words " SECULAR AND SOCIALIST " in to the constitution in the year 1976 ?
If they added IT MAKES IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL and NULL/ VOID
IT WILL BE THROWN OUT IF CHALLENGED IN COURTS
It is already challenged in Courts and not yet "thrown" out as Indian Judiciary is not dominated by bigoted infernos.
@@arrowshade BJP hasn't challenged it in court's
STOP PIPING COOLIE LIES HERE
The same thing is being done now too na, suspend opposition from parliament and push whatever laws you want, all same same na
@@pavankarthikvelivala8570 Then you should be happy that BJP is following your AAKA KHANGRESS PATH
AND
ENJOY THE SHOW OF INDIA BEING DECLARED A HINDU NATION
While declaring, BJP will put CONGRESS and whole opposition in jail na?
U are always targeting BJP. What do you mean by most of BJP members?Biased media.
Why only sate interfier hindu rituals why not Islam Christian and other religion
