Explanation

In 1928, following a challenge by the Secretary of State Lord Birkenhead to draft a constitution that would be acceptable to all Indian political parties, the All Parties Conference appointed a committee to determine the principles of a future constitution for India [1]. This committee was headed by Motilal Nehru as Chairman [1]. Other prominent members included Tej Bahadur Sapru, Subhas Chandra Bose, and M.S. Aney, while Jawaharlal Nehru served as the committee's secretary [1][2]. The resulting document, known as the Nehru Report, was submitted in August 1928 at the Lucknow conference [1]. It proposed a 'full responsible government' based on the model of self-governing dominions, effectively demanding Dominion Status for India [2]. The report is considered a significant milestone in India's constitutional history as it represented the first major attempt by Indians to draft a comprehensive constitutional framework.
