Sarojini Naidu, one of the women members of the Constituent Assembly (1946-1949)
Speech by Sarojini Naidu, First Session of the Constitution Assembly
“I hope those that call themselves the original masters of this land, the tribal people will realize that there is no distinction of caste, creed, ancient or modern, status in this Constituent Assembly. I hope the smallest minority in this country will, whether represented politically, or I do not know by what other means they may be represented – I hope they will realize that they have a jealous, vigilant and loving guardian of their interests who will not permit the more privileged to encroach by a hair's breadth on their birth-right of equity and equal opportunity in this country."
Speech by Jawaharlal Nehru during the Proposal of Objectives Resolution before the Assembly
“We are on the threshold of a new era. This resolution is a message defining our intentions as to what we propose to do. This is a contract with the millions of Indians in particular and the people of the world in general. This is in the nature of an oath that we mean to keep …. This resolution steers between two extremes (of saying too much and too little) and lays down only certain fundamentals which I believe no group, no party and hardly any individual in India can dispute …. We are all in our respective spheres party men belonging to this group or that and presumably we shall continue to act in our respective parties. Nevertheless, times come when we have to rise above party and think of the nation, think sometimes of even the world at large of which our nation is a great part."
