Who among the following was not a member of the Drafting Committee of the Constitution of India?

The Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly was established on August 29, 1947, to prepare the draft of the Indian Constitution [2]. It consisted of seven members: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar (Chairman), N. Gopalaswamy Ayyangar, Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer, Dr. K.M. Munshi, Syed Mohammad Saadullah, N. Madhava Rau (replacing B.L. Mitter), and T.T. Krishnamachari (replacing D.P. Khaitan) [3]. While M.K. Gandhi was the preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement and influenced the ideological framework of the nation, he was notably not a member of the Constituent Assembly or its Drafting Committee. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar led the committee's efforts, often acknowledging the legal expertise of colleagues like Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer. Therefore, among the given options, M.K. Gandhi is the individual who did not serve on the Drafting Committee.
