Who moved the 'Objective resolution' in the Constituent Assembly in 1946? |
Jawaharlal Nehru Sardar Patel Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Dr. Rajendra Prasad |
Jawaharlal Nehru |
The correct answer is Option 1 - Jawaharlal Nehru Perhaps the best summary of the principles that the nationalist movement brought to the Constituent Assembly is the Objective Resolution (the resolution that defined the aims of the Assembly) moved by Nehru in 1946. This resolution encapsulated the aspirations and values behind the Constitution. The substantive provisions of the constitution is inspired by and summed up by the values incorporated in the Objectives Resolution. Based on this resolution, our Constitution gave institutional expression to these fundamental commitments: equality, liberty, democracy, sovereignty and a cosmopolitan identity. Thus, our Constitution is not merely a maze of rules and procedures, but a moral commitment to establish a government that will fulfil the many promises that the nationalist movement held before the people. |
