Sovereign means India is free from foreign interference. India is free to frame her own economic, social and foreign policies.

Republic means the head of the state has no hereditary right. The Head of the State in India is the President who is indirectly elected by the people.

Fraternity implies friendship among a group of people sharing common interests. The unity and integrity of India can be preserved only through a spirit of brotherhood among all its citizens, irrespective of their languages, caste, creed or religion.

Secular means freedom to preach and practice a religion of one's own choice. We do not have a state religion.
