The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

Correct Answer:

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Explanation:

The correct answer is: Option 2: Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Here's why:

Assertion: The Objective Resolution, drafted by Jawaharlal Nehru and adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India in 1947, indeed declared India as an Independent Sovereign Republic. This established India as a self-governing nation with supreme power residing within its own borders.

Reason: The Constitution guaranteed the citizens Justice, Equality, and Liberty and that they would not be discriminated and all will be equal before the law. This is also correct.

However, the Reasoning does not explain as to why the objective Resolution claimed India to be the Independent Sovereign Republic.
