Consider the following assertion and reasons
Assertion: Word Socialism was not added in Preamble of the original constitution of India which came into force on 26th January 1950
Reason: B.R Ambedkar was opposed to declaring India's social and economic structure in the Constitution.
Correct answer code is:
B. R. Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Constitution, was opposed to declaring India's social and economic structure in the Constitution. He said that “What should be the policy of the State, how the Society should be organised in its social and economic side are matters which must be decided by the people themselves according to time and circumstances. It cannot be laid down in the Constitution itself”.
Ambedkar's second objection was that addition of word Socialism was "purely superfluous" and "unnecessary", as "socialist principles are already embodied in our Constitution" through Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy.
