Did the Muslim League boycott the Constituent Assembly in 1946 and decide to split?


New Delhi, January 25, 2021, Monday

India's own constitution came into force on January 26, 1950, but the process for the constitution began before independence. The Labor Party won the post-World War II elections in Britain when Churchill lost. In 1946, a new government sent a cabinet mission to Britain. Among them were 213 Hindus, 3 Muslims and 3 Sikhs. The separatist policy of the British was clearly visible. Muhammad Ali Zina and the Muslim League boycotted the Constituent Assembly from the beginning. Because he was determined to get Pakistan. Winston Churchill, Britain's leader of the opposition at the time, also joked that a girl would not be present at a Constituent Assembly debate without a Muslim League. However, Mukherjee, a member of the Constituent Assembly, responded to Churchill's joke by saying that he had entered the country by flattering the Mughals when he came to do business. In the 19th Constituent Assembly of India, 6 members of the Provincial Legislative Assembly were selected by indirect election. The Muslim League boycotted the pre-independence Constituent Assembly and continued to demand a separate constitution for Pakistan. Hyderabad is a large princely state of India that did not want to merge with India. Hyderabad was the only princely state that did not join the Constituent Assembly. The Nizam of Hyderabad probably already had the spirit of maintaining an independent existence. However, the people revolted against the pre-independence activities and the Nizam who stayed away from the Constituent Assembly after independence. Sardar Patel took note of the situation and on 13 September 19 the army launched a military operation to oust the Nizam. Speaking of the Constituent Assembly again, in the 19th, the provinces and princely states of the British government joined the Constituent Assembly. The first sitting of the Constituent Assembly was held on December 4, 19 at the Library of the Council Chamber in New Delhi. The most senior member of the meeting, Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha, was elected as the interim chairman.

In the 19th century, the first talk of fundamental rights was made by Bal Gangadhar Tilak


When the country was a slave of the British, for the first time in 18 AD, Bal Gangadhar Tilak spoke about the fundamental rights of the citizens. Since then, the demand for fundamental rights has been periodically raised during the independence movement. The demand for fundamental rights was reiterated by passing a resolution in the Mumbai session of the Congress in 1918. In 1915, Mrs. Anne Besant raised fundamental issues for Indians, such as freedom of expression, the right to assembly, and equality of law. In 1917, the Nehru Committee also demanded fundamental rights for Indians. In the 19th Congress session held in Karachi and in the 19th Sapru Committee, fundamental rights were given priority. However, before independence, the fundamental rights of the citizens of the country were not given. Fundamental rights have made a great contribution to making democratic governance sound and dynamic.
