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.

Saptarshi Banerjee answered |
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.
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.

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.

Analysis of Statement-I
- Statement-I claims that the total strength of the Constituent Assembly was reduced from 389 to 299 due to the withdrawal of the Muslim League.
- This statement is correct. The Muslim League, which was a significant political entity representing Muslim interests, eventually withdrew from the Constituent Assembly, leading to a reduction in its total strength.
Analysis of Statement-II
- Statement-II states that the strength of Indian provinces was reduced from 296 to 229, and that of princely states from 93 to 70 after the Muslim League's withdrawal.
- This statement is also correct. After the Muslim League's exit, the representation from both Indian provinces and princely states was indeed reduced, reflecting the political dynamics of that time.
Relationship Between the Statements
- While both statements are correct, Statement-II does not directly explain Statement-I.
- Statement-I focuses on the overall reduction in the Constituent Assembly due to the Muslim League's withdrawal, while Statement-II provides specific figures regarding provincial and princely state representations.
Conclusion
- Therefore, the correct interpretation is that both statements are accurate but do not have a cause-and-effect relationship.
- The answer is option 'A': Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct, but Statement-II does not explain Statement-I.

1. Morley-Minto Reforms: Introduction of Dyarchy in provinces - Incorrect- The Morley-Minto Reforms, also known as the Indian Councils Act of 1909, did not introduce dyarchy in provinces. Instead, they introduced a representative element by allowing Indians to join the Executive Councils of the Governor-General and Governors, and initiated separate electorates for Muslims.
2. Montague-Chelmsford Reforms: Introduction of Bicameral Central Legislature - Correct- The Montague-Chelmsford Reforms, also known as the Government of India Act, 1919, introduced a bicameral legislature at the center: the Legislative Assembly (lower house) and the Council of State (upper house).
3. Government of India Act, 1935: Full Provincial Autonomy - Correct- The Government of India Act, 1935, granted full provincial autonomy, allowing provinces to act as autonomous administrative units.
4. August Offer, 1940: Promise of Dominion Status after the Second World War - Correct- The August Offer of 1940 promised dominion status for India after the end of the Second World War and allowed for an expansion of the Executive Council of the Governor-General to include more Indian representatives.

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.

T.S Academy answered |
Correct Answer: c) Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
- Statement 1: January 26 was indeed specifically chosen as the "date of commencement" of the Constitution because on this day in 1930, the Indian National Congress had celebrated Poorna Swaraj Day (Declaration of Complete Independence). This is historically accurate.
- Statement 2: With the commencement of the Constitution on January 26, 1950, the Indian Independence Act of 1947 and the Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act (1949) were repealed. This is also correct, as these acts became redundant once the Constitution came into force.
Since both statements are correct, the option stating "not correct" would be neither 1 nor 2.

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.
Pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched. Pairs 2 and 4 are incorrectly matched.
Thus, only two pairs are correctly matched.

Total Members in the Constituent Assembly
The Constituent Assembly of India was formed to draft the Constitution of India. Understanding its composition is crucial for grasping how India transitioned into a republic.
Composition of the Assembly
- The Constituent Assembly consisted of a total of 389 members.
- This number included representatives from various Indian States, ensuring a diverse representation of the Indian populace.
Breakdown of Membership
- Initially, there were 299 elected members from the provinces.
- Additionally, there were 93 representatives from the princely states, although some states did not send representatives.
- The total thus amounted to 389, making it a significant body for constitutional framing.
Significance of the Constituent Assembly
- The assembly played a pivotal role in shaping the democratic framework of India.
- It took approximately three years to draft the Constitution, with debates and discussions reflecting the aspirations of the Indian people.
Conclusion
- The correct answer to the question about the total number of members in the Constituent Assembly, including representatives of the Indian States, is indeed 389 members.
- This assembly laid the foundation for the democratic governance structure that India enjoys today.

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.

Mihir Mehta answered |
The correct answer is option 'C' - Statements a, b, and d are correct.
Explanation:
a. The Constituent Assembly was made a fully sovereign body:
The Indian Independence Act of 1947 granted full sovereignty to the Constituent Assembly of India. This means that the Constituent Assembly had the power to frame the Constitution of India and make decisions without interference from any external authority.
b. The Constituent Assembly became the first Parliament of free India:
After India gained independence from British rule on August 15, 1947, the Constituent Assembly of India functioned as the interim Parliament of the country. It performed the functions of a legislature, making laws and regulations for the newly independent India.
c. When the Constituent Assembly met as the Legislative body, it was chaired by Dr. Rajendra Prasad:
This statement is not correct. Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the President of the Constituent Assembly of India, but he did not chair the assembly when it met as the legislative body. The role of the Chairman of the Constituent Assembly was separate from the President's role.
d. The total strength of the Constituent Assembly came down to 299 as against 389:
The Indian Independence Act of 1947 led to the partition of India, resulting in the creation of two separate countries - India and Pakistan. As a result, the Constituent Assembly of India saw a reduction in its strength. Before the partition, the total strength of the Constituent Assembly was 389 members, but after the partition, it came down to 299 members.
In conclusion, statements a, b, and d are correct. The Constituent Assembly of India was made a fully sovereign body, it functioned as the first Parliament of free India, and its total strength decreased to 299 members after the partition.
