Indian Independence Movement

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel chaired the Fundamental Rights Committee of the Constituent Assembly. The committee was responsible for outlining the fundamental rights that would be included in the Constitution. Dr. Ambedkar headed the Drafting Committee, not the Fundamental Rights Committee.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was appointed as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly on August 29, 1947. He was the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and played a pivotal role in its drafting.

P. N. Bhagwati was CJI between July 1985 - Dec 1986. During his tenure as CJI, PIL was introduced to the Indian judicial system.

The Acharya Ramamurthy Committee (1990) was appointed to review the National Policy on Education 1986 and suggest modifications. Its review led to the 1992 revised policy. Option C is correct. Options A, B, and D refer to other education commissions from different time periods.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad was India's first President, serving from 1950 to 1962. He was a key figure in the independence movement and a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi. Lal Bahadur Shastri served as Prime Minister, not President, and I.K. Gujral was a much later Prime Minister (1997-1998).

The correct sequence is QSPR.

Lal Bahadur Shastri served as the Railway Minister of India from 1952 to 1956 under Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. He later became India's second Prime Minister (1964-1966). His tenure as Railway Minister is remembered for his integrity and resignation after a major railway accident, taking moral responsibility.

S. Gurbaksh Singh (1895-1977) founded and started 'Preet Lari' in 1949, a Punjabi literary magazine that played a significant role in promoting Punjabi literature and culture. It became one of the most influential Punjabi publications of its time.

Dr. Annie Besant was appointed the leader of the Home Rule League in 1916, specifically leading the All India Home Rule League based in Madras. She, along with Bal Gangadhar Tilak, started the Home Rule Movement demanding self-governance for India. Mahatma Gandhi was not directly involved in leading the Home Rule League - he focused on other movements like Champaran, Kheda, and Non-Cooperation.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly, responsible for drafting India's Constitution. He was also the chief architect who presented and defended the Constitution before the Assembly. While Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel handled the integration of princely states and Nehru was the Prime Minister, Ambedkar's legal expertise and drafting skills made him the natural choice for this crucial role. The committee had 7 members, but Ambedkar did the bulk of the work.

The First Round Table Conference (1930-31) was boycotted by the Indian National Congress because many leaders (including Gandhi) were in jail after the Civil Disobedience Movement. Those who attended included representatives from princely states, minorities (Muslims, Sikhs, depressed classes), and liberal politicians, but NOT major Congress leaders like Nehru, Gandhi, or Jinnah. Jinnah attended the Second RTC (1931) but was disillusioned by then. Since none of the named leaders attended the First RTC, 'None of these' is correct.

Jawaharlal Nehru was the President of the Indian National Congress at the Lahore Session of December 1929 when 'Poorna Swaraj' (Complete Independence) was declared as the official objective of the Congress. This session marked the shift from demanding dominion status to demanding full independence. The Declaration of Independence was issued on January 26, 1930, and was celebrated as Independence Day until 1947. Motilal Nehru (Jawaharlal's father) was a leader of the Swaraj Party but was President in 1919 and 1928, not 1929.

Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee (W.C. Bonnerjee) was the first President of the Indian National Congress at its inaugural session in Bombay in 1885. A.O. Hume was the founder and organizer of the Congress but did not serve as President - his role was that of a British civil servant sympathetic to Indian political aspirations. Rajendra Prasad was a much later President (independent India's first President). Jawaharlal Nehru became President in 1929 (Lahore session) and 1936-37, but was not the first.

Dr. Manmohan Singh, as Finance Minister in 1991, pioneered India's economic liberalization reforms that ended the License Raj and opened the economy to global markets. These transformative reforms dismantled socialist-era regulations and ushered in India's economic growth era. Other leaders listed were important but not the architects of liberalization.

The Indian National Congress was founded by A.O. Hume, a retired British civil servant, in 1885. Hume's intention was to provide a platform for educated Indians to participate in political discussion and eventually self-governance. W.C. Bonnerjee became the first President of the INC, while Dadabhai Naoroji was a prominent leader and served as President later, but was not the founder.
