The Indian Constituent Assembly and committees

 The Indian Constituent Assembly had several committees and subcommittees to address various aspects of framing the constitution. The main committees included:

Drafting Committee: The most significant committee headed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, responsible for preparing the draft constitution.

Committee on Fundamental Rights: Chaired by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, it dealt with the formulation of fundamental rights.

Committee on Union Powers: Headed by Jawaharlal Nehru, it focused on the distribution of powers between the center and the states.

Committee on the Provincial Constitution: Chaired by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, it dealt with the structure of provincial governments.

Committee on the Preamble: Headed by Jawaharlal Nehru, it worked on the objectives resolution and the preamble.

Jawaharlal Nehru proposed the creation of the Preamble before the drafting committee of the Constitution and then it was adopted by the Constituent Assembly. It laid down the ideologies, fundamentals, and philosophy behind the Constitutional structure.

Minorities Sub-Committee: Chaired by Harendra Coomar Mookerjee, it dealt with the rights and interests of religious and linguistic minorities.

Tribal and Excluded Areas Sub-Committee: Headed by Gopinath Bardoloi, it focused on the administration of tribal areas.

These are just a few examples, and there were several other committees and subcommittees established to deliberate on specific issues and provide recommendations for the drafting of the Indian Constitution.
