Who among the following was appointed by the Constituent Assembly of India as Head of the Sub-Committee for North-East Frontier (Assam) Tribal and Excluded Areas?
Explanation
The Constituent Assembly of India established the Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights, Minorities and Tribal and Excluded Areas, chaired by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This committee formed several sub-committees to address specific regional and social concerns.
The North-East Frontier (Assam) Tribal and Excluded Areas Sub-Committee was headed by Gopinath Bordoloi. The sub-committee's primary objective was to suggest administrative frameworks for the tribal areas of the Northeast. Its recommendations formed the basis of the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, which provides for Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) to protect the social, cultural, and land rights of tribal communities in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. While Rupnath Brahma was a member of this sub-committee, Gopinath Bordoloi served as its Chairman. Bishnuram Medhi and Tarun Ram Phukan were prominent Assamese leaders but did not head this specific committee.
