keywords: 

{'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'preamble': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'unity': [1, 0, 0, 5], 'integrity': [2, 0, 1, 7], 'equality': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'status': [1, 0, 2, 10], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'beginning': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'opportunity find mention': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Option 1 states that equality of status and equality of opportunity find mention in the Preamble to the Constitution of India. This statement is correct. The Preamble mentions the objectives of the Constitution, including securing to all citizens of India equality of status and opportunity.

Option 2 states that the expression `unity and integrity of the Nation` was not there in the Preamble since the beginning. This statement is incorrect. The expression `unity and integrity of the Nation` has been a part of the Preamble since its inception.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, which states that both 1 and 2 are correct statements. Equality of status and equality of opportunity are mentioned in the Preamble, and the expression `unity and integrity of the Nation` has been there in the Preamble since the beginning.
