Who among the following person said for the Fundamental Rights "a pledge to our people and a pact with the civilized world" ?
Explanation
The statement describing the Fundamental Rights as "a pledge to our people and a pact with the civilized world" was made by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan) during the Constituent Assembly debates.
Speaking on the Objectives Resolution in January 1947, Radhakrishnan emphasized that the declaration of these rights served a dual purpose: it was a solemn commitment to the citizens of India to ensure justice and liberty, and simultaneously an assurance to the international community that the emerging Indian nation would uphold the universal values of human dignity and civilization. This was particularly significant as the world was moving towards the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) during that period.
