At the time of the adoption of the Indian Constitution on 26th November 1949, which of the following terms was NOT part of the description of the Indian State in the Preamble?

Explanation

On 26th November 1949 (and when it came into force on 26th January 1950), the Preamble declared India to be a 'Sovereign Democratic Republic'. The words 'Socialist' and 'Secular' were added later by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976, changing the description to 'Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic'.
