Which of the following words was NOT a part of the original Preamble of the Indian Constitution?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Secular.

The word "Secular" was not part of the original Preamble of the Indian Constitution. The original Preamble included the words Sovereign, Socialist, Democratic, and Republic. The term "Secular" was added later through the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976, which was part of a broader set of constitutional changes to reflect the commitment to secularism in the Indian state.
