Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the Chairman of the Drafting Committee, made this significant statement during his final speech in the Constituent Assembly on November 25, 1949 [3]. He remarked that on January 26, 1950, India was going to enter a 'life of contradictions'. He elaborated that while the new Constitution would establish political equality through the principle of 'one man, one vote,' the prevailing social and economic structures would continue to reflect deep-seated inequality. Ambedkar warned that if this contradiction between political democracy and socio-economic inequality persisted for long, those suffering from inequality would eventually blow up the structure of political democracy. This speech is often cited to highlight his vision for social justice alongside constitutional governance.
