The Constituent Assembly of India had held its first meeting 75 years ago on December 9, 1946.
Distinguished people from different parts of India, different backgrounds, and even differing ideologies came together with one aim to give the people of India a worthy Constitution.
The idea of a constituent assembly was put forward for the first time by MN Roy.
In 1935, the Indian National Congress (INC), for the first time, officially called for a constituent assembly to frame a constitution for India.
The demand for a constituent assembly was accepted for the first time by the British through their ‘August offer’ of 1940.
Eventually, a constituent assembly was established under the provisions of the Cabinet Mission plan.
It was constituted in 1946.
