Question

With reference to the period of Indian freedom struggle, which of the following was/were recommended by the Nehru report?
1. Complete Independence for India.
2. Joint electorates for reservation of seats for minorities.
3. Provision of fundamental rights for the people of India in the Constitution.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Accepted Answer

The Nehru Report of 1928, chaired by Motilal Nehru, was a response to the challenge of the Birkenhead challenge to draft a constitution for India.

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Nehru Report recommended Dominion Status for India, not Complete Independence. The demand for Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence was officially adopted later during the 1929 Lahore Session.

Statement 2 is correct because the report rejected separate electorates, which had been introduced in previous acts. Instead, it proposed joint electorates with reservation of seats for Muslims only in provinces where they were in a minority.

Statement 3 is correct as the report included a bill of rights, recommending nineteen fundamental rights for the people of India, including the right to vote for all adults.

Therefore, since statements 2 and 3 are correct, the correct answer is option B.
