Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The resolution stating that 'there should be equality before law irrespective of caste, creed or sex' was passed during the Karachi Session of the Indian National Congress in March 1931 [t2][t4]. Presided over by Vallabhbhai Patel, this session is historic for adopting the Resolution on Fundamental Rights and Economic Programme [t1][t2]. The resolution aimed to define what 'Swaraj' would mean for the masses, emphasizing social justice and the elimination of discrimination [t5][t9]. It specifically advocated for equal rights for all citizens regardless of caste, creed, or gender, and included provisions for universal adult franchise and protection of minority rights [t5]. These principles later served as a foundational blueprint for the Constitution of India, particularly influencing the Preamble, Fundamental Rights, and Directive Principles [c2][t8].
