Political exigency of politics over Ambedkar and political remixes
The Daily Guardian|December 26, 2024
Past perfect, present tense. That's how the winter session of the Parliament came to an end.
Seema Sindhu

Briefly, the heart of the matter is that the NDA govt introduced one nation one poll in the Lok Sabha, entailing heated arguments on the idea of simultaneous elections in Center and States on the precedence of 1951, 1957, 1962 and 1967.

Anything on the Constitution these days revolves around B.R. Ambedkar only – a political rather than vote bank exigency – misappropriating the contribution of other members of the Constituent Assembly.

How is it misappropriation? It's like one vs 388. He was chairman of the drafting committee of the Constitution – one of the 22 committees. Of these, eight were major committees and others minor – categories are self-explanatory of the importance. Of these eight major committees, Nehru was chairman of three committees and Dr Rajendra Prasad headed two, while the Advisory committee on Fundamental Rights, minorities and tribal and excluded areas was headed by Sardar Patel. The task of the drafting committee was to draft the Constitution after taking into consideration proposals of various committees. This is sufficient.
