The correct answer is option-1, Draft of Indian Penal Code. Macaulays Minutes on Education is a well-known document written by Thomas Macaulay that had a significant impact on the development of education in India during British colonial rule. However, in addition to this document, Macaulay is also credited with another important draft. The draft referred to in the question is the Draft of Indian Penal Code.

The Indian Penal Code is a comprehensive criminal code that lays down the laws and punishments applicable to criminal offenses in India. It was first drafted by the First Law Commission headed by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay in 1834. The purpose of this draft was to consolidate and codify the various criminal laws that existed in different parts of British India.

The Draft of Indian Penal Code was a significant step towards creating a uniform and comprehensive criminal law code for the entire country. It played a crucial role in shaping the legal system in India and continues to be the basis for criminal law in the country.

Alert - correct answer should be Draft of Indian Forest Policy.
