Abstract

In Indian Premier League match in Tamil Nadu the theme song is “NAMMA Thala Dhoni” ku oru visil podu and “NAMMA Thala Dhoni” ku oru kuthu dance podu and it shows the youngsters celebrating Dhoni as their leader. Though there are several numbers of diverse cultures in India, still we find “Unity in Diversity” among Indian. The Constitution of India was finalized by the Constituent Assembly and came into force on 26th January 1950. The Preamble to the Indian Constitution is the starting point of the text of Constitution. The preamble to the Constitution in 1950 had provided that, India will be “Sovereign Democratic Republic”. In the 42nd amendments in 1976 two words “Secular and Socialist” were added between the words "Sovereign" and "democratic" and the words "unity of the Nation" were changed to "unity and integrity of the Nation". The words 'secular' and 'socialist' were removed from the preamble of India's Constitution in an advertisement issued on India's 66th Republic Day in 2015. In this paper an analysis has been made over this controversy on the Preamble of India’s Constitution.
