ExamFlare · Accepted Answer

A) 42. As we have seen in multiple previous questions, the words Socialist, Secular, and Integrity were added to the Preamble by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976.PSC Malayalam Translation Trap: Usually, 'Socialist' is written as 'സോഷ്യലിസ്റ്റ്' in Malayalam questions. However, in this paper, PSC has used the pure Malayalam word 'സ്ഥിതിസമത്വം' (which can also mean equality of status in a general sense, but here it strictly means Socialist). Candidates must remember these alternate Malayalam terms.OTHER OPTIONS (Why they are distractor options)(B) 44th Amendment (1978): The most common distractor option PSC uses against the 42nd Amendment. Remember it for the removal of the 'Right to Property'.(C) 41st & (D) 43rd Amendments: These are just random numbers given to confuse the candidates. The 41st Amendment (1976) changed the retirement age of State PSC members from 60 to 62. The 43rd Amendment (1977) restored some powers of the Supreme Court and High Courts that were curtailed by the 42nd Amendment.
