The Preamble to the Constitution of India serves as a window into the vision and intent of its makers.

Here's why:

• It is the introductory statement that lays the philosophical and ideological foundation of the Constitution, shaping the governance framework of the nation.
• It expresses the aspirations and objectives envisioned by the framers, such as securing justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all citizens.
• It enshrines fundamental principles like sovereignty, democracy, secularism, socialism, and a republic, which define the nature of the Indian state.

While provisions like Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy further elaborate these ideals, the Preamble serves as a concise yet powerful expression of the framers’ intent, reflecting the essence of India's constitutional philosophy.
