What was the exact constitutional status of India on 26th January, 1950?
1) A Democratic Republic
2) A Sovereign Democratic Republic
3) A Sovereign Republic Secular Democratic
4) A Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic
The Correct answer is A Sovereign Democratic Republic
On 26th January 1950, India became a Sovereign Democratic Republic. The adoption of the Constitution of India on this day marked the transition of India from a British Dominion to a republic.
The term ‘sovereign’ refers to India’s complete independence from foreign control or influence, and the term ‘democratic’ refers to the fact that the power of the government is derived from the people through free and fair elections.
The Constitution of India also declares India to be a secular republic, which means that the government does not promote or discriminate against any particular religion. However, the word “secular” was added to the Preamble of the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment in 1976.
The word “socialist” was added to the Preamble of the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, which aimed to promote social welfare and eliminate inequalities. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 2 – India became a Sovereign Democratic Republic on 26th January 1950.
