Who has said that ‘‘Directive Principles of State Policy stand for the greatest guarantee for a genuine democracy of India’’ ?
Answer: B
The keyed answer is M.V. Pylee.
M.V. Pylee is the author of Constitutional Government in India and a standard commentator on the Directive Principles of State Policy, which he describes as setting out the fundamentals towards which the State works and the path to the ideals of the Preamble. A remark that the Directive Principles are the guarantee of a genuine democracy is in keeping with his view of them as a guide to the Preamble's ideals.
I could not trace the exact quotation to any author, so the key is kept as printed. The other names are less likely: Dr B.R. Ambedkar spoke of the Directive Principles as aiming at economic democracy and as instruments of instruction to future governments, B.N. Rau drafted the framework of the Directive Principles as the Constitutional Adviser and is not known for this remark, and M.C. Setalvad is known as an Attorney General and jurist.
