Modern India: Framing the Constitution

Question:

Which of the following was not a vision of the leaders while making the Constitution of India?

Options:

The Constitution should be an original one.

The Constitution should make Indians of different classes, castes and communities come together in a shared political experiment.

The Constitution should nurture democratic institutions in what had long been a culture of hierarchy and deference.

The Constitution should be elaborate, carefully worked out, and painstakingly drafted document.

Correct Answer:

The Constitution should be an original one.

Explanation:

At Independence, India was not merely large and diverse, but also deeply divided. A Constitution designed to keep the country together, and to take it forward, had necessarily to be elaborate, carefully worked out and painstakingly drafted document. For one thing, it sought to heal wounds of the past and the present, to make Indians of different classes, castes and communities come together in a shared political experiment. For another, it sought to nurture democratic institutions in what had long been a culture of hierarchy and deference.
