In the early years of independent India, the nation encountered three significant challenges. Firstly, there was the immediate task of forging a united nation while embracing its rich diversity. With a vast landmass and a populace speaking various languages and practicing diverse cultures and religions, doubts were cast on the ability of such a diverse country to stay united. Secondly, the establishment of a democratic system was crucial. The Indian Constitution, which you have already studied, granted fundamental rights to all citizens and introduced universal suffrage. India adopted a parliamentary form of government, ensuring that political competition took place within a democratic framework. Lastly, there was the imperative to foster the development and well-being of the entire society, not just specific sections. The Constitution emphasized equality and provided special protections for socially disadvantaged groups, as well as religious and cultural communities. Additionally, the Directive Principles of State Policy outlined the welfare objectives that democratic politics needed to achieve. The challenge now lay in formulating effective policies for economic growth and poverty eradication.

Which of the following point is not a feature that justifies that India had planned to ensure the development and well-being of the entire society and not only of some sections after its independence in 1947?

Provision of office of the Election Commission of India.

The correct answer is Option 4 - Provision of office of the Election Commission of India.

Options 1, 2 and 3 are provisions in the Indian constitution that directly relate to the development and well-being of the entire society.
The provision of the office of Election Commission of India (option 4) relates to conducting elections.

Thus, Option 4 (Provision of office of the Election Commission of India) is not a feature that justifies that India had planned to ensure the development and well-being of the entire society and not only of some sections after its independence in 1947.

India faced the challenge to ensure the development and well-being of the entire society and not only of some sections.
The Constitution emphasized equality and provided special protection for socially disadvantaged groups, as well as religious and cultural communities.
The Directive Principles of State Policy outlined welfare goals for democratic politics to achieve.
The challenge was to formulate effective policies for economic development and poverty eradication.
