A. Sovereign
B. Socialist
C. Secular✓ Correct Answer
D. Democratic
💡 Solution & Explanation
The term 'Secular' in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution signifies that the state maintains equal distance from all religions and offers equal protection and respect to every faith. Added by the Forty-Second Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976, it reinforces the fundamental rights guaranteeing freedom of religion under Articles 25 to 28. India thus has no state religion and treats all religious denominations impartially under the rule of law.
