If a candidate can hold only one amendment in full, it should be the 42nd of 1976: the Preamble’s three words, the Fundamental Duties, the shift of five subjects from the State List to the Concurrent List, the attempt to bar judicial review of amendments, and the extension of the Lok Sabha’s term to six years. The 44th of 1978 undid the last two. Half of Indian constitutional history since 1973 is the argument between those two amendments.
