Decoding what Jawaharlal Nehru said in his famous speech of 13 December 1946:

In returning to the past and referring to the American and French Revolutions, Nehru was locating the history of constitution-making in India within a longer history of struggle for liberty and freedom (Statement A). The momentous nature of the Indian project was emphasized by linking it to revolutionary moments in the past. But Nehru was not suggesting that those events were to provide any blueprint for the present; or that the ideas of those revolutions could be mechanically borrowed and applied in India. He did not define the specific form of democracy and suggested that this had to be decided through deliberations (Statement B). And he stressed that the ideals and provisions of the constitution introduced in India could not be just derived from elsewhere.
