The Constituent Assembly was expected to express the aspirations of those who had participated in the movement for independence. Democracy, equality and justice were ideals that had become intimately associated with social struggles in India since the nineteenth century. When the social reformers in the nineteenth century opposed child marriage and demanded that widows be allowed to remarry, they were pleading for social justice. When Swami Vivekananda campaigned for a reform of Hinduism, he wanted religions to become more just . When Jyotiba Phule in Maharashtra pointed to the suffering of the depressed castes, or Communists and Socialists organised workers and peasants, they were demanding economic and social justice. The national movement against a government that was seen as oppressive and illegitimate was inevitably a struggle for democracy and justice, for citizens’ rights and equality . In fact, as the demand for representation grew, the British had been forced to introduce a series of constitutional reforms (STATEMENT A). A number of Acts were passed (1909, 1919 and 1935), gradually enlarging the space for Indian participation in provincial governments (STATEMENT B). The executive was made partly responsible to the provincial legislature in 1919, and almost entirely so under the Government of India Act of 1935 (STATEMENT E). When elections were held in 1937, under the 1935 Act, the Congress came to power in eight out of the 11 provinces.
