Question

Q. The first demand of a bill of rights for Indians from Britishers was put forward by which of the following committees?

• A. Jawaharlal Nehru committee
• B. Gopal Krishna Gokhale committee
• C. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar committee
• D. Motilal Nehru committee

Answer 1

The correct option is D Motilal Nehru committee

Explanation:

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.
