  1. Sovereign: It means that India is a free or independent country. It is not controlled by any foreign power and they are not allowed to interfere in any of the internal or external affairs of the country. This implies that it is free to formulate any of its domestic and foreign policies.
  2. Democratic: This implies that political power is vested in the people. The people of India have the power to elect the government of their choice at all levels - Union, State and Local. Thus, our government is called a democratic government because it is a ‘Government of the people, by the people, for the people’.
  3. Republic: This means that our country has an elected Head of State, the President. He is elected directly or indirectly for a period of five years. However, such a Head has no hereditary right.
  4. Socialist: This term was added in the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976. It implies that the State will ensure an equitable distribution of wealth among its people. Proper measures would be taken to safeguard and protect the interests of the poorer and weaker sections of society. Also, it aims to provide equal opportunities to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.
