Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru presented the Objective Resolution before the Constituent Assembly on December 13, 1946.
The Objective Resolution outlined the fundamental principles on which the Indian Constitution would be based. It laid the groundwork for a democratic, secular, and sovereign republic. The resolution called for a government based on justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity, and emphasized the rights of individuals while acknowledging the sovereignty of the nation. This resolution became the guiding framework for the drafting of the Indian Constitution.
Nehru's speech was a crucial moment in the process of India’s constitutional formation. It was later adopted by the Constituent Assembly on January 22, 1947.
