In this powerful episode of News That Matters, Neeraj unpacks the explosive statement made by RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, who has called for the removal of the words “Secular” and “Socialist” from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. Hosabale argues that these terms do not align with India’s cultural ethos and were forcibly added during the Emergency under Indira Gandhi’s regime. But is this claim true? Were these words really not part of the original Constitution? And if so, why were they added later? This video goes beyond headlines to explore the ideological battle behind these words. We revisit the constitutional debates led by B.R. Ambedkar, who believed that even without explicitly using these terms, the Indian Constitution guarantees equality, religious freedom, and protection from discrimination. So why did Indira Gandhi add them in 1976? Was it a political stunt or a necessary safeguard?
