Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — B, Constitution Draft Committee (the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly). K.M. Munshi was one of the seven members of this committee, which was chaired by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and was responsible for preparing the actual text of the Draft Constitution of India.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) A parliamentary financial-oversight committee; Munshi is not identified with it — his committee role was on the Constituent Assembly's Drafting Committee.  (c) Not a recognised committee of the Constituent Assembly; the Preamble grew out of Jawaharlal Nehru's Objectives Resolution, not a separate body of this name.  (d) The Hindu Code Bill was prepared by the Hindu Law Committee (chaired by B.N. Rau) and piloted by Law Minister B.R. Ambedkar — Munshi is not identified with this body.

Concept: The Constituent Assembly set up several committees to frame India's Constitution. The Drafting Committee, formed in August 1947 and chaired by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, had seven members and was specifically tasked with preparing the actual text of the Draft Constitution from the decisions taken by the Assembly's other committees. K.M. Munshi — a lawyer, writer and Constituent Assembly member from Bombay — was one of its seven members.
