Detailed Solution

The term ‘secular’ was introduced in the preamble by the 42nd amendment.
The preamble is an introductory remark based on Jawaharlal Nehru's 1946 Objectives resolution. The phrases socialist, secular, and integrity were introduced to the preamble by the 42nd Amendment in 1976. Individuals can live their religious views and practises as they see fit under the Indian Constitution. In keeping with the principle of religious freedom for all, India also developed a strategy of separating religious and state power. This separation of religion and state is referred to as secularism. Secularism is essential for a country's democratic functioning. We must also preserve individuals' freedom to leave their faith, adopt another religion, or interpret their teachings differently.
