Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Nehru Report (1928) was the first major Indian effort to draft a constitutional scheme [1]. Regarding the first statement, the report recommended 'Dominion Status' as the form of government, similar to Canada or Australia, rather than 'Complete Independence' [1]. This caused friction with younger leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Bose, who demanded Purna Swaraj [4]. Regarding the second statement, the report rejected separate electorates in favor of joint electorates with reservation of seats for minorities (specifically Muslims) in provinces where they were in a minority [2]. Regarding the third statement, the report explicitly proposed a set of 19 fundamental rights for the people of India, including the principle that sovereignty belongs to the Indian people [1]. Therefore, statements 2 and 3 are correct, while statement 1 is incorrect.
