In which case it was held that preamble is not a part of constitution of India?
In the Berubari Union16 case (1960), the Supreme Court said that the Preamble shows the general purposes behind the several provisions in the Constitution, and is thus a key to the minds of the makers of the Constitution. Further, where the terms used in any article are ambiguous or capable of more than one meaning, some assistance at interpretation may be taken from the objectives enshrined in the Preamble. Despite this recognition of the significance of the Preamble, the Supreme Court specifically opined that Preamble is not a part of the Constitution.
As a part of the Constitution, preamble can be amended under Article 368 of the Constitution, but the basic structure of the preamble can not be amended. As of now, the preamble is only amended once through the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976

The Parliament is composed of the President of India, the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), and the Lok Sabha (House of the People).

Indian constitution declares India a federal state that is two governments but it provides for a single citizenship for India and States both. This provision is borrowed from the Constitution of Britain.
In which article of constitution, the govt. abolished the practice of untouchability?
Untouchability is neither defined in the Constitution nor in the Act. It refers to a social practice which looks down upon certain depressed classes solely on account of their birth and makes any discrimination against them on this ground.
Their physical touch was considered to pollute others. Such castes which were called untouchables were not to draw water from the same wells, or use the pond/tank which is being used by the higher castes.
They were not allowed to enter some temples and suffered many other disabilities.
Inclusion of this provision in the Constitution shows the importance attached by the Constituent Assembly towards eradication of this evil practice. Article 17 is also a significant provision from the point of view of equality before law (Article 14).
It guarantees social justice and dignity of man, the twin privileges which were denied to a vast section of the Indian society for centuries together.
Which type of equality is negative enumerated in Art. 14 of the constitution of India?
Equally before law is a negative as it follows the concept of 'REXLEX' meaning 'king is law' which is clearly visualising AUTOCRACY. And hence option 'C'.
Every person shall have equal admittance to public places like public wells, bathing ghats, museums, temples etc. However, the State has the right to make any special arrangement for women and children or for the development of any socially or educationally backward class or scheduled castes or scheduled tribes.
Which articles defines prohibition of discrimination only on grounds of religion, place, caste, sex or place of birth?
Article 15: A fundamental right prohibits discrimination by the state against any citizen on grounds 'only' of religion, caste, race, sex, and place of birth. The use of the world only means that discrimination on other grounds is not prohibited.

In which of the following ways can Indian citizenship be acquired?
There are 5 ways to acquire Indian citizenship:
Principle: Only Parliament or State Legislatures have the authority to enact laws on their own. No law made by the State can take away a person’s fundamental right.
Facts: Parliament enacted a law, which according to a group of lawyers is violating the fundamental rights of traders. A group of lawyers files a writ petition challenging the Constitutional validity of the statute seeking relief to quash the statute and further direct Parliament to enact a new law.
As traders have right to profession so court can quash the law but according to the principle only parliament and state legislature can make the laws so court cannot direct Parliament to make any law. Answer would be C because the court has no authority to direct the parliament new laws but the exist law can be quashed.

The doctrine of waiver: It is not open to a citizen to waive his fundamental rights conferred by Part 3 of the constitution.
