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

The Constitution should be an original one.

The correct answer is Option 1 - The Constitution should be an original one.

Option 1- The Constitution should be an original one. (Incorrect)
Option 2- The Constitution should make Indians of different classes, castes and communities come together in a shared political experiment.
Option 3- The Constitution should nurture democratic institutions in what had long been a culture of hierarchy and deference.
Option 4- The Constitution should be elaborate, carefully worked out, and painstakingly drafted document.

The Constitution should be an original one is incorrect as our leaders wanted to make a WORKABLE constitution, not an original one which is why they borrowed various features of the Indian Constitution from various sources.

Nehru stressed that the ideals and provisions of the constitution introduced in India could not be just derived from elsewhere. “We are not going just to copy”, he said. The system of government established in India, he declared, had to “fit in with the temper of our people and be acceptable to them”. It was necessary to learn from the people of the West, from their achievements and failures, but the Western nations too had to learn from experiments elsewhere, they too had to change their own notions of democracy. The objective of the Indian Constitution would be to fuse the liberal ideas of democracy with the socialist idea of economic justice, and re-adapt and re-work all these ideas within the Indian context. Nehru’s plea was for creative thinking about what was appropriate for India.

The Indian Constitution, which came into effect on 26 January 1950, has the dubious distinction of being the longest in the world. But its length and complexity are perhaps understandable when one considers the country’s size and diversity. 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 an 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.
