Question:

When did the Motilal Nehru Committee demand a bill of rights?

Options:

1919

1928

1935

1948

Correct Answer:

1928

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2  -1928

Motilal Nehru Committee demanded a bill of rights as far back as 1928.

During our freedom struggle, the leaders of the freedom movement had realised the importance of rights and demanded that the British rulers should respect rights of the people. The Motilal Nehru committee had demanded a bill of rights as far back as in 1928. It was therefore, natural that when India became independent and the Constitution was being prepared, there were no two opinions on the inclusion and protection of rights in the Constitution. The Constitution listed the rights that would be specially protected and called them ‘fundamental rights’.
