Jawaharlal Nehru

Objective Resolution Moved by Jawaharlal Nehru in Constituent Assembly

The Constituent Assembly of India was tasked with the monumental job of drafting the Constitution for a newly independent India. A crucial step in this process was the introduction and adoption of the 'Objective Resolution'.

Key Figure Behind the Objective Resolution

The 'Objective Resolution' was moved in the Constituent Assembly by Jawaharlal Nehru. He presented this historic resolution on December 13, 1946.

Significance of the Objective Resolution

This resolution laid down the fundamental principles, goals, and vision for the future Indian Republic. Key aspects included:

  • Declaring India as an Independent Sovereign Republic.
  • Ensuring justice, liberty, equality, and adequate safeguards for minorities, backward classes, and tribal areas.
  • Promoting unity and integrity of the nation.
  • It served as the guiding star for the Constituent Assembly's deliberations and formed the bedrock of the Preamble to the Constitution of India.

Understanding Other Options

While other prominent figures were involved in India's independence movement and constitution-making:

  • Mahatma Gandhi: A paramount leader, but he did not move the Objective Resolution.
  • B. R. Ambedkar: Played a vital role as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee, shaping the final Constitution, but did not move the initial Objective Resolution.
  • B. N. Rao: Served as the Constitutional Advisor to the Assembly, providing crucial legal and constitutional guidance, but was not the mover of the resolution.

Therefore, Jawaharlal Nehru is correctly identified as the person who moved the 'Objective Resolution' in the Constituent Assembly, outlining the aspirations for independent India.
