Describe briefly the path that determined the birth of the constitution of India since 1943
Answers
The British had been passing various constitutional Acts (1909, 1919 and 1935) which were mainly opposed the Indian nationalists. In 1946, the British decided to examine the possibility of granting independence to India. As a result, a British cabinet mission was despatched to India to hold discussions with the representatives of British India and to set up a constituent body and an executive council. The Constituent Assembly was formed in 1946 to draft the Constitution of the country. The Assembly consisted of about 300 people who were expert in their own fields. All of these issues played on the minds of the members of the Constituent Assembly as they drafted the Constitution. After years of debates and discussions, the constitution was finally adopted on 26 Jan, 1950.
