Who is regarded as the chief architect of the Constitution of India?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Dr B. R. Ambedkar
Dr B. R. Ambedkar chaired the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly and is universally regarded as the chief architect of the Constitution. He served as independent India’s first Law Minister. He piloted the draft through the Assembly clause by clause and defended it in debate, and much of the constitutional protection of the weakest - the abolition of untouchability under Article 17, the fundamental rights, and the framework of reservation - reflects his insistence. He described Article 32 as the heart and soul of the document. The roles of the others are distinct and often confused. Jawaharlal Nehru moved the Objectives Resolution, which became the basis of the Preamble. Sardar Patel chaired several committees and led the integration of the princely states. Dr Rajendra Prasad presided over the Assembly itself. Ambedkar was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1990, and his birthday on 14 April is observed nationally.
