"To uphold and protect the Sovereignty, Unity and Integrity of India" is a provision made in the

Gives the full current text of the Preamble which explicitly contains the phrase 'FRATERNITY ... and the unity and integrity of the Nation' but does not show the words 'uphold and protect'.

A student can compare the exact wording shown here with the quoted phrase to see which words match or differ.

Provides an amended version of the Preamble text (post-1976) including 'unity and integrity of the Nation' and shows the Preamble's aims and objects.

Use this to check whether 'uphold and protect' appears in the Preamble or instead elsewhere in the Constitution.

Explains that the words 'and integrity' were added by the 42nd Amendment, showing how specific wording in the Preamble can be amended.

A student might look up the text of the 42nd Amendment (or its effect) to verify which exact phrases were inserted into the Preamble versus other parts of the Constitution.

Shows that the exact phrase 'to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India' is used as a Fundamental Duty in Article 51A, not (according to this snippet) in the Preamble.

Compare the Fundamental Duties wording here with the Preamble text (snippets 1–2) to determine where the phrase actually appears in the Constitution.

States that the Preamble is an integral part of the Constitution and that its precise wording matters for interpretation.

Use this rule to justify verifying the exact Preamble text (as given in the other snippets) rather than assuming similar phrases from other constitutional provisions.

This snippet lists the exact phrase "to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India" as a Fundamental Duty (showing that this wording is explicitly located in the Fundamental Duties portion of the Constitution).

A student could use this to suspect the phrase belongs to Fundamental Duties (Part IVA) and then check the constitutional part/Article locations for Directive Principles (Part IV) to see if the same wording appears there.

Explains that Directive Principles are constitutional instructions in Part IV and defines their purpose and scope (who they bind), clarifying where to look for provisions that belong to DPSP.

A student could combine this with the Fundamental Duties location (snippet 7) to compare Part numbers and conclude whether that wording is likely in Part IV or elsewhere.

States Directive Principles are enumerated in Part IV and characterises their nature (non-justiciable, aims like welfare state), indicating the thematic content expected in DPSP.

A student could judge that a phrase about citizens' duties (upholding sovereignty, unity and integrity) fits the theme of duties rather than the social/economic aims typically found in DPSP, prompting verification of which Part contains it.

Notes that Directive Principles can be classified by content (socialistic, Gandhian, liberal-intellectual), suggesting DPSP items are primarily policy/social-economic directions rather than prescriptive citizen duties.

A student could use this pattern to reason that a phrase framed as an individual duty is less likely to be a DPSP directive and more likely in Fundamental Duties, so they should check the text of Part IV versus Part IVA.

Emphasises the nature and role of Directive Principles (Part IV) as promoting social and economic democracy, indicating the typical subject-matter of DPSP entries.

A student could extend this by noting the thematic mismatch between socio-economic directives and the phrase about protecting sovereignty, leading them to verify the actual constitutional placement.

This source lists the phrase "to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India" explicitly under the heading 'LIST OF FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES'.

A student could note that the phrase is placed under Fundamental Duties (not Rights) and check the Constitution's Part/Article (Article 51A) to verify whether it is in Part III (Fundamental Rights) or Part IVA (Fundamental Duties).

Another edition/source repeats the identical item as part of the enumerated Fundamental Duties.

Seeing the repeated placement under 'Fundamental Duties' strengthens the hypothesis that the provision belongs to duties; the student can therefore focus verification on Part IVA rather than Part III.

This source explains that Fundamental Duties are incorporated in Article 51A (Part IVA) and explicitly lists 'to protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India' among those duties.

A student can use this structural clue (Article 51A, Part IVA) to look up the constitutional text and confirm whether the phrase appears in Part III or Part IVA.

Explains that Fundamental Rights are embodied in Part III and are distinct from other constitutional provisions, implying separate placement for different classes of provisions.

A student can combine this structural distinction with the duty-list evidence to deduce that the phrase being in the duty list makes it unlikely to be a Fundamental Right.

Notes that the Constitution balances guarantees of individual rights with state security and mentions specific articles where national security and integrity can affect rights (articles referenced as exceptions).

A student could use this to understand why provisions about sovereignty/unity/integrity might be placed among duties or in different parts, and then check where the specific obligation is codified.
