The founding fathers of the constitution had not included the words “socialist and secular” in the original Preamble to the Constitution. Does it mean these two words were not in the spirit of the Indian Constitution? Explain [150 words/10 Marks]

Approach: Give a brief intro about the preamble Explain the Indian brand of secularism and socialism according to the founding fathers Conclude your answer by mentioning the constitutionality of these words. Answer: The term ‘preamble’ refers to the introduction or preface to the Constitution. It contains the summary or essence of the Constitution. N A Palkhivala, an eminent jurist and constitutional expert, called the Preamble the ‘identity card of the Constitution.’ The Preamble to the Indian Constitution is based on the ‘Objectives Resolution’, drafted and moved by Pandit Nehru, and adopted by the Constituent Assembly Secular: India has its own brand of secularism, it is watchful ambivalence which can be described in the words liberty of belief faith and worship. 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 expressed 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 founding fathers did not use the word secular in the preamble expressly to avoid confusion with the widely perceived definition of secularism prevalent in the western democracies which is a divorce between the state and religion, hence the insertion of the word secular has no constitutional significance. Socialist: Even before the term was added by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, the Constitution had socialist content in the form of certain Directive Principles of State Policy. In other words, what was hitherto implicit in the Constitution has now been made explicit. India has its own brand of socialism which is primarily Gandhian socialism with only traces of Marxist socialism. The founding fathers explained the brand of socialism in the words (equality of status and opportunity). Thus the original constitution did not expressly write the word socialism to avoid confusion with the prevalent definition of Marxist socialism. Thus the 42nd amendment of 1976 inserting the word socialism has no constitutional significance since 1) The Preamble is not the plan it is the summary of the constitution (reflection of the constitution) and thus any alteration may be understood to be a fraud on the constitution (in the words of H.H.Seervai) 2) The preamble is non-justicialbe (it cannot be enforced through the courts). 3) The founding fathers have already explained our definitions of socialism and secularism. Hence the 42nd amendment of 1976 was merely a political statement.

Explain the phenomena of Sea floor spreading and briefly discuss the evidences in support of it. (150 words/10 marks)

Approach - 1. Give a brief account of sea-floor spreading. 2. Enumerate the evidence in support of the Sea-floor spreading theory. 3. Conclude with the importance of seafloor spreading and it"s relevance with plate tectonics. Answer - From world war 2 the seafloor exploration race was started between the major powers for military reasons. Various maps and data were accumulated which led to the formation of the sea-floor spread hypothesis. This hypothesis was proposed by Harry Hess in the early 1960s. This hypothesis traces oceanic crust from its origin at a mid-ocean ridge to its destruction at a deep-sea trench and is the mechanism for continental drift. In this hypothesis, a hot buoyant mantle rises up a mid-ocean ridge, causing the ridge to rise upward. The hot magma at the ridge erupts as lava forms new seafloor. When the lava cools, the magnetite crystals take on the current magnetic polarity and as more lava erupts, it pushes the seafloor horizontally away from the ridge axis. The magnetic stripes continue across the seafloor. As oceanic crust forms and spreads, moving away from the ridge crest, it pushes the continent away from the ridge axis. If the oceanic crust reaches a deep-sea trench, it sinks into the trench and is lost into the mantle. Scientists now know that the oldest crust is the coldest and lies deepest in the ocean because it is less buoyant than the hot new crust. Evidence in support of sea-floor spreading - 1. The occurrence of most earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain‐building along plate boundaries (Pacific ring of fire). 2. The apparent variety of geographic pole locations the variety of magnetic pole locations seafloor spreading. 3. The fact that midoceanic ridges parallel continental coastlines. 4. The symmetry of banded magnetic anomalies on the sea floor. 5. Earthquake activity along transform faults. 6. Earlier it was thought that the oceanic crust is older than the continental crust but the evidence shows otherwise. 7. Satellite measurements that indicate changes in distance between known points on different plates in the ocean. The sea-floor spreading theory was the advancement over the continental drift theory and it also served as an important link for the holistic development of the plate tectonics theory.
