The term, 'secular' means that the state has no religion of its own. The stateis neither religious nor anti-religions. The state observes complete neutrality in religious matters. India is a secular state. In Indian Constitution from article 25 to 28, the Right to Freedom of Religion has been granted to all the persons residing in India.
The 45th Amendment lays down that the term'secular' means that all religions carry equal respect and recognition from the state.

Republic, form of government in which a state is ruled by representatives of the citizen body. Modern republics are founded on the idea that sovereignty rests with the people, though who is included and excluded from the category of the people has varied across history. In Unitary Republics, divisions, if any, are governed as one unit with one legislature. For example, Ireland is a unitary republic. Islamic Republics are countries with a theocracy that allow the people power and have a constitution based on Islamic law. Mauritania is an example of an Islamic republic.

Social equality in this context means the absence of discrimination on the grounds only of caste, colour, creed, ***, religion, or language. India is a liberal democracy that has been ruled by non-socialist parties on many occasions, but its constitution makes references to socialism.

DPSP are ideals which are meant to be kept in mind by the state when it formulates policies and enacts laws. There are various definitions to Directive Principles of State which are given below:

  • They are an ‘instrument of instructions’ which are enumerated in the Government of India Act, 1935.
  • They seek to establish economic and social democracy in the country.

The causes for the inclusion of the list of fundamental duties in the Constitution:

The referendum allows citizens, through the petition process, to refer acts of the Legislature to the ballot before they become law. The referendum also permits the Legislature itself to refer proposed legislation to the electorate for approval or rejection. For example, Australia defines 'referendum' as a vote to change the constitution, and 'plebiscite' as a vote that does not affect the constitution. In contrast, Ireland has only ever held one plebiscite, which was the vote to adopt its constitution, and every other vote has been called a referendum.
