Who among the following was not a woman member of the Constituent Assembly?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Shanti Ghosh
Fifteen women were members of the Constituent Assembly. Rajkumari Amrit Kaur (Central Provinces and Berar), Malati Chowdhury (Orissa) and Hansa Mehta (Bombay) are among them; Hansa Mehta demanded justice for women, not reserved seats or separate electorates. Shanti Ghosh is not on the list of women members, so she is the answer.
Note: Shanti Ghosh is not mentioned in the current NCERT book (2025-26). The book gives the list of the fifteen women members of the Constituent Assembly, and her name is not on it.
