Indian Political Parties and Elections

Lala Hardayal was a prominent Indian nationalist and founding member of the Ghadar Party (1913), which aimed to overthrow British rule through armed revolution. The party operated primarily among Indian immigrants in North America. INA was formed later (1942), and Naujawan Sabha was a different organization.

The Constituent Assembly had diverse membership including Congress, Muslim League, Unionist Muslim, Unionist Scheduled Caste, Krishak Praja, Scheduled Castes Federation, Sikhs (non-Congress), Communists, and Independents. This made it broadly representative of India's political landscape.

The Muslim League argued that the Constituent Assembly was not fully representative because it was dominated by the Congress and did not guarantee adequate representation for Muslims. This was part of their demand for a separate nation.

Article 325 of the Constitution mandates that there shall be one general electoral roll for every territorial constituency for all elections - whether to Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, or State Legislatures. This ensures uniformity and prevents discrimination in voter registration. The question tests understanding of this fundamental constitutional principle.

The Congress Party consistently advocated for a Constituent Assembly to draft India's constitution, seeing it as the legitimate body for constitution-making by elected representatives of the Indian people.

India has a parliamentary system of government where the executive is responsible to the legislature. This is unlike a presidential system where the executive is separate from and not directly responsible to the legislature.

14 seats were acquired by other parties in the Constituent Assembly. The Congress dominated with 205 seats, while other parties like the Muslim League (73 seats), Scheduled Castes Federation, and others had smaller representations. The 14 seats refers to parties other than Congress and Muslim League.

The Ghadar Party was formed in 1913 in San Francisco by Lala Hardayal Singh and other Indian immigrants to fight against British colonial rule in India.

Chandni Chowk constituency in Delhi is among the smallest parliamentary constituencies in India by area. Being part of the National Capital Territory with dense urban settlement, its geographical area is minimal compared to most other constituencies. Sadar (also Delhi), Kolkata North West, and Mumbai South are urban constituencies but have larger areas than Chandni Chowk. The precise smallest can vary with delimitation, but Chandni Chowk is consistently among the tiniest.

The National People's Party (NPP) led by Conrad Sangma was founded in 2013. It was recognized as a National Party in 2019 and later became a major force in Meghalaya politics. The party's recognition was suspended by EC in 2023, not 2015 as mentioned in the question.

The Tuteja Committee was constituted to examine disinvestment policy, NOT electoral reforms. Therefore, option A is NOT correctly matched. The other options are correct: Banerjee Commission probed the Godhra tragedy, Mukherjee Commission investigated Netaji's disappearance, and Pathak Committee examined the Oil-for-Food scandal. The question asks for the incorrect match, making A the right answer.

The movement for Uttarakhand statehood involved multiple organizations. Uttarakhand Mukti Morcha, Uttarakhand Raksha Manch, and Him Sena all played significant roles in advocating for the separate hill state from Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, 'All the above' is the correct answer as all these parties contributed to the movement.
