Rights In The Indian Constitution

Question:

Who was responsible for demanding a bill of rights in 1928 in India?

Options:

Jawaharlal Nehru Committee

Subhas Chandra Bose Committee

Sarakaria Committee

Motilal Nehru Committee

Correct Answer:

Motilal Nehru Committee

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4 - Motilal Nehru Committee

Motilal Nehru Committee demanded a bill of rights in 1928.

During our freedom struggle, the leaders of the freedom movement had realised the importance of rights and demanded that the British rulers should respect rights of the people. The Motilal Nehru committee had demanded a bill of rights as far back as in 1928. It was therefore, natural that when India became independent and the Constitution was being prepared, there were no two opinions on the inclusion and protection of rights in the Constitution. The Constitution listed the rights that would be specially protected and called them ‘fundamental rights’.
