The general secretary (Sarkaryavah) of RSS, Dattatreya Hosabale, has suggested the removal of the words "Socialist" and "Secular" from the Preamble of the Constitution. His logic is that the maker of the Indian Constitution Dr BR Ambedkar was against the inclusion of these two words in the Preamble, but in 1976 the then Indira Gandhi government amended the Constitution to include these two words. Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has supported this view. He said that these two words do not gell with India's cultural legacy because India had always believed in Sarva Dharma Sama Bhava and there is no need for the word 'secular'.
