उत्तर
Yes, the Preamble is a part of the Constitution of India. The Supreme Court declared this in the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973).
Although it is not enforceable in a court of law, it provides the guiding principles and philosophy of the Constitution. It also reflects the basic structure of the Constitution, which cannot be altered.
