The father of the Indian Constitution is Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.
So, the correct answer is: A. Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, often referred to as the “Father of the Indian Constitution,” played a pivotal role in the drafting of the Constitution of India. Born on April 14, 1891, Ambedkar was a prominent social reformer, jurist, economist, and politician who dedicated his life to the upliftment of the marginalized sections of Indian society, particularly the Dalits, who were historically oppressed under the caste system.
Role in Drafting the Constitution
Dr. Ambedkar was appointed as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly on August 29, 1947. His deep understanding of law, economics, and social justice made him an ideal choice for this role. Under his leadership, the committee worked tirelessly to draft a Constitution that would ensure justice, equality, and liberty for all citizens of India.
Ambedkar’s vision for the Constitution was to create a framework that would promote social democracy alongside political democracy. He emphasized the importance of safeguarding the rights of minorities and ensuring that the new nation would be free from social discrimination and inequality. His efforts led to the inclusion of key provisions such as fundamental rights, the abolition of untouchability, and the establishment of a federal structure in the Constitution.
Legacy
Dr. Ambedkar’s contributions extend far beyond his role in drafting the Constitution. He was a tireless advocate for the rights of the underprivileged and worked towards the annihilation of the caste system in India. His efforts towards social reform have left an indelible mark on Indian society, and he continues to be an inspiration for movements advocating social justice and equality.
In recognition of his immense contributions, Dr. Ambedkar is celebrated as a national hero in India. His birthday, April 14, is observed as Ambedkar Jayanti, a day to honor his legacy and contributions to the nation.
