ExamFlare · Accepted Answer

C) i and v only. Statement (i) is correct: Eminent jurist N.A. Palkhivala famously called the Preamble the "Identity Card of the Constitution" because it beautifully captures the essence of the entire document.Statement (v) is correct: The Preamble clearly specifies the ultimate objectives of the Constitution, which are to secure Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity for all citizens.OTHER OPTIONS (Why other statements are wrong)Statement (ii): The words Socialist, Secular, and Integrity were added by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976, not the 44th Amendment in 1979. This is a classic PSC trap.Statement (iii): In the historic Kesavananda Bharati case (1973), the Supreme Court clearly ruled that the Preamble is a part of the Constitution.Statement (iv): The phrase "Heart and soul of the Indian Constitution" was used by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar to describe Article 32 (Right to Constitutional Remedies), not the Preamble.
