Q23 (CAPF/2017) History & Culture › National Movement (1857–1947) › Constitutional plans and missions Answer Verified

Which among the following was NOT the recommendation of the Nehru Report ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Nehru Report (1928) was the first major Indian effort to draft a constitutional scheme for the country [1]. Its primary recommendations included the demand for Dominion Status, similar to other self-governing British dominions [1]. Crucially, the report rejected the system of separate electorates, which had been a feature of previous constitutional reforms; instead, it proposed joint electorates with reservation of seats for minorities only in provinces where they were in a minority [3]. The report also advocated for universal adult suffrage and a responsible government at both the centre and provinces [1]. While it envisioned a federal structure, the proposed political framework was broadly unitary because it recommended that residual powers should vest with the Centre rather than the provinces. Therefore, separate electorates were explicitly not recommended by the Nehru Report, making option 2 the correct answer.
