India become Independent on 15 Aug 1947.But The commencement of constitution happened on 26th Jan 1950 which is celebrated as Republic day by Indians.26th Jan was choosen as republic day as on 26th Jan 1930 India had taken a resolve for Purna Swaraj(Complete Independence) from the British rule. Like every religion has its holy book, constitution is the holy book of India and Indians.As a part of my data science project I tried to analyse the preamble of Indian constitution.Attached word cloud is representation of important words that are part of the preamble of the constitution.
The constitution of India states that India is a SOVERIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC.The words SOCIALIST and SECULAR were added later in the year 1976 as part of 42nd amendment of the constitution.These five words represent the nature of Indian State.JUSTICE EQUALITY LIBERTY and FRATERNITY is the objectives of Indian State.I will explain in brief about the nature and objective of Indian State.
