Explanation

The 42nd Constitutional Amendment (1976) is called the 'Mini Constitution' because it made sweeping changes to the Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles, and constitutional structure. It added 'Socialist', 'Secular', and 'Integrity' to the Preamble and expanded fundamental duties.
