• A. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
• B. Shri. N. Madhava Rao
• C. Jawaharlal Nehru
• D. Shri. K.M.Munshi

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Jawaharlal Nehru

• The Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution was a crucial body responsible for preparing the draft of India's Constitution. This committee was constituted by the Constituent Assembly on August 29, 1946.

• The Drafting Committee consisted of seven members:

  1. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar (Chairman)

  2. N. Gopalaswami Ayyangar

  3. Alladi Krishnaswami Ayyar

  4. K.M. Munshi

  5. Syed Mohammad Saadulla

  6. N. Madhava Rao (replaced B.L. Mitter who resigned due to ill health)

  7. T.T. Krishnamachari (replaced D.P. Khaitan after his death)

• Among the given options, Jawaharlal Nehru was not a member of the Drafting Committee. While Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India and played a significant role in the freedom struggle and the Constituent Assembly, he was not part of the specific seven-member Drafting Committee that was tasked with preparing the constitutional draft.

• Dr. B.R. Ambedkar served as the Chairman of this committee and is often called the "Father of the Indian Constitution" for his pivotal role in drafting it. N. Madhava Rao and K.M. Munshi were both active members of the committee, making Jawaharlal Nehru the correct answer as the person who was NOT included in the Drafting Committee.
