Article 74 deals with the status of the council of ministers while Article 75 deals with the appointment, tenure, responsibility, qualification, oath and salaries and allowances of the ministers.

The word 'secular' was inserted into Constitution of India by ________.

A
$$44^{th}$$ Amendment Act

B
$$52^{nd}$$ Amendment Act

C
$$42^{nd}$$ Amendment Act

D
$$34^{th}$$ Amendment Act

Solution

The term ‘secular’ was added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976. However, as the Supreme Court said in 1974, although the words ‘secular state’ was not expressly mentioned in the Constitution, there can be no doubt that Constitution-makers wanted to establish such a state and accordingly Articles 25 to 28 (guaranteeing the fundamental right to freedom of religion) have been included in the constitution. The Indian Constitution embodies the positive concept of secularism ie, all religions in our country (irrespective of their strength) have the same status and support from the state.

The parliamentary system of government in India is largely based on the British parliamentary system. However, it never became a replica of the British system and differs in some respects.
