Pooja Shah answered |
Only the members of the assembly could become the chairman of these committees.
- This statement is not correct. While most chairpersons were indeed members of the Constituent Assembly, there were exceptions. For example, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who chaired the Drafting Committee, was initially not a member of the Assembly elected from the British Indian provinces but was later included as a representative of the Bengal Presidency after the partition of India. Therefore, this statement might be misleading without the context of such exceptions.
Vallabhbhai Patel was the chairman of the Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights, Minorities and Tribal and Excluded Areas.
- This statement is correct. Vallabhbhai Patel indeed chaired the Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights, Minorities, and Tribal and Excluded Areas. This committee was pivotal in shaping the rights and safeguards to be included in the Indian Constitution.
So, the incorrect statement is 1 only.

Statement 1 is correct, but statement 2 and 3 needs to be corrected.
Statement 1 is correct. Prem Behari Narain Raizada was the calligrapher of the original Indian Constitution, which was adopted on November 26, 1949. Raizada was a renowned calligrapher, and his work on the Constitution is considered a masterpiece of calligraphy.
Statement 3 needs to be corrected. The Preamble and other pages of the original constitution were designed and painted by Beohar Rammanohar Sinha.
However, statement 2 needs to be corrected. The calligraphy of the Hindi version of the original constitution was not done by Beohar Rammanohar Sinha. It was actually done by another renowned calligrapher, Vasant Krishnan Vaidya. Sinha was a prominent artist and sculptor who had contributed to the design of the emblem of the Government of India, but he was not involved in the calligraphy of the Constitution.

With the commencement of the Constitution, the Indian Independence Act of 1947 and the Government of India Act of 1935, with all enactments amending or supplementing the latter Act, were repealed. The Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act (1949) was however continued.

The Poona Pact was an agreement signed on September 24, 1932, between Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. It was a compromise between the two leaders regarding the issue of separate electorates for the Dalits or the Scheduled Castes.
The correct option is (c) Joint electorate with reserved seats for the Scheduled Castes.
Explanation:
Background:
The British Government had introduced the system of separate electorates for the Dalits through the Communal Award in 1932. This meant that the Dalits would have their own electorates and would vote only for Dalit candidates.
However, Mahatma Gandhi was strongly opposed to this system as he believed that it would create further divisions in the Indian society. He argued that the Dalits should be integrated into the mainstream society and should not be treated as a separate community.
On the other hand, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the leader of the Dalits, was in favor of separate electorates as he believed that it was the only way to ensure political representation for the Dalits.
Agreement:
The Poona Pact was signed after a series of negotiations between Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The key features of the agreement were:
- The system of separate electorates for the Dalits was abolished.
- Instead, a joint electorate was introduced where all communities would vote together.
- However, to ensure political representation for the Dalits, reserved seats were provided in the legislature and other elected bodies.
- The number of reserved seats would be in proportion to the population of the Dalits in a particular region.
- The system of reservation would be in place for a period of ten years.
Significance:
The Poona Pact was a significant event in the Indian freedom struggle as it resolved a major conflict between the leaders of the Dalits and the mainstream nationalist movement. It helped in the integration of the Dalits into the mainstream society and ensured political representation for them.
The agreement also marked a victory for Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-violent resistance and his belief in the unity of the Indian society.
Conclusion:
The Poona Pact remains a significant event in the history of India as it paved the way for the integration of the Dalits into the mainstream society and ensured their political representation. It was a compromise between the two leaders that helped in resolving a major conflict and united the Indian society in the fight against the British colonial rule.

Only Statement 1 is correct. The total strength of the Constituent Assembly was indeed 389 (Statement 1). Mahatma Gandhi was not a member of the Constituent Assembly (Statement 2 is incorrect). Although the Indian National Congress did win 208 seats, this statement is given in the context of the seats allotted to British India, making Statement 3 factually correct but contextually misleading within the provided options. Therefore, only Statement 1 is considered correct in this scenario.

- The reduction in the Constituent Assembly's total strength from 389 to 299 was due to the withdrawal of the Muslim League.
- After this withdrawal:
- The number of representatives from Indian provinces decreased from 296 to 229.
- The representation from princely states dropped from 93 to 70.
Both statements are correct. However, the change in numbers for the provinces and princely states does not directly explain the overall reduction in assembly strength.

Understanding the Correct Matches
To analyze the pairs given, let's break down each reform and its corresponding description to see how many are correctly matched:
1. Morley-Minto Reforms
- Claim: Introduction of Dyarchy in provinces.
- Reality: The Morley-Minto Reforms of 1909 did not introduce dyarchy; they focused on expanding legislative councils and introducing separate electorates for Muslims.
- Match Status: Incorrect.
2. Montague-Chelmsford Reforms
- Claim: Introduction of Bicameral Central Legislature.
- Reality: The Montague-Chelmsford Reforms, implemented in 1919, indeed introduced a bicameral legislature at the center with two houses: the Central Legislative Assembly and the Council of State.
- Match Status: Correct.
3. Government of India Act, 1935
- Claim: Full Provincial Autonomy.

The Morley-Minto Reforms marked a crucial milestone by including Indians in the Executive Councils for the first time. This move aimed to introduce a representative and popular element in the governance of India. It was a step towards giving Indians a voice in the decision-making processes of the government, although the official majority was maintained in certain councils.

Explanation of the Statements
The question presents two statements regarding the Indian Constitution and its historical context. Let's analyze each statement individually.
Statement 1: January 26 as 'Date of Commencement'
- The date of January 26 was indeed chosen because it marks the day in 1930 when the Indian National Congress declared Poorna Swaraj (complete independence) as its goal.
- This statement is correct.
Statement 2: Commencement of the Constitution and Repeal of Acts
- Upon the commencement of the Constitution on January 26, 1950, the Indian Independence Act of 1947 did not get repealed. Instead, it was the legal framework that facilitated India's transition to independence.
- The Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act (1949) was also not repealed by the Constitution; rather, it was enacted to remove the jurisdiction of the Privy Council in India.
- Therefore, this statement is not correct.
Conclusion
- Since Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is not correct, the answer to which statement is not correct is option 'B' (2 only).
Key Takeaway
- Understanding the historical significance of January 26 is crucial, as it connects India's struggle for independence with the establishment of a sovereign constitution.
- The distinction between the repeal of laws and the enactment of new ones is vital in constitutional studies.

Statement-I correctly identifies that India has adopted the scheme of the federation from Canada, which is an accurate feature of the Indian Constitution. Statement-II correctly mentions that India has adopted the concept of Directive Principles of State Policy from Ireland. However, Statement-II does not explain Statement-I; rather, it presents a separate feature borrowed from Ireland. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Sanjay Rana answered |
The Preamble secures to all citizens of India liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship, through their Fundamental Rights, enforceable in the court of law, in case of violation. Liberty, as elaborated in the Preamble, is essential for the successful functioning of the Indian democratic system. However, liberty does not mean ‘license’ to do what one likes, and has to be enjoyed within the limitations mentioned in the Constitution itself. Economic liberty is not explicitly mentioned in the Preamble.

1. Pitt's India Act, 1784: Established a system of Dual Government - Correct. The Act did establish a system of Dual Government by separating the commercial and political affairs of the company.
2. Pitt's India Act, 1784: Prolonged the company's trade monopoly in India for 20 years - Incorrect. This is a feature of the Charter Act of 1793, not the Pitt's India Act, 1784.
3. Charter Act of 1793: The Governor-General was granted enhanced powers, enabling him to override his council’s decisions - Correct. The Charter Act of 1793 granted the Governor-General these enhanced powers.
4. Charter Act of 1793: Empowered the Board of Control to supervise and direct civil and military operations - Incorrect. This was a provision of the Pitt's India Act, 1784, not the Charter Act of 1793.

Pankaj Pillai answered |
The Congress objected to:
- The offer of dominion status instead of a provision for complete independence.
- Representation of the states by nominees and not by elected representatives.
- Right to provinces to secede as this went against the principle of national unity.
- Absence of any plan for immediate transfer of power and absence of any real share in defence; the governor- general’s supremacy had been retained, and the demand for governor-general being only the constitutional head had not been accepted.
- Indirectly conceded the demand for petition
- The incapacity of Cripps to go beyond the Draft Declaration and the adoption of a rigid “take it or leave it” attitude added to the deadlock.
