Question

Which of the following legislative initiatives did Nehru not introduce?
A. The building of thousands of schools
B. The ending of the Indian caste system
C. A strong, socially responsive judiciary
D. Retention of English as the national language.

Answer 1

D. Retention of English as the national language.

Answer 2

Nehru did not introduce retention of English as the national language as one of the legislative initiatives ( option D).

• Pandit Nehru was born on 14 November 1889. The day is still celebrated as Children's day in India.
• He joined Indian National Congress (INC) in 1918 and participated in India's struggle for independence.
• Retention of English as the national language was not one of the legislative initiatives because he was fighting against British colonisation and English is their official language. He wanted to get rid of every means of colonisation after independence even if it was language.
