In order to broaden and review the British Raj and the Government of India Act, 1919 a seven-member Statutory Commission was set up by the British government to examine the issue of further constitutional reform. The two mainstream parties, Congress and the Muslim League, countered the commission in their own way and received full public support when the commission landed in Bombay, through rallies, boycotts, and hartals. The Indians were challenged to draft a constitution that was acceptable to all Indians, all parties, and all provinces. The challenge was taken seriously and the All-Party Conference took place, with all parties, including Congress and the Muslim League, working enthusiastically and collectively to finalize the recommendations of the report popularly known as the Nehru Report.

The Nehru Report of 1928 Background Toward the end of 1927, the British government, as it had promised in the government of India Act,1919, appointed a statutory commission to inquire into the working of the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms and propose constitutional reforms for British India. All members of the commission were British and no Indian was represented on it. In a speech in the House of Lords, Lord Birkenhead, the then Secretary of state for India, said that any commission on which Indians were represented could not present a unanimous report. He further said, “If they have any political capability and competence, they should form a unanimous constitution and present it to us and we will implement it.” The leadership of the Indian National Congress (INC) took this speech of Lord Birkenhead as a challenge to Indian politicians. The INC called an All parties Conference in January 1928 under the president ship of Dr. M.A. Ansari. The purpose of the conference was to protest against the composition of the Simon Commission and to prepare a Constitution for British India. Around one hundred delegates from all important/large parties of British India attended the conference. These parties included the Indian National Congress (INC), All India Muslim League (AIML), National Liberal Federation, Hindu Mahasabha, Central Sikh League, etc. The conference failed to conclude the issue of the rights of minorities. The second round of the All Parties Conference was held in March of...

INTRODUCTION TheNehru Committee Reportof 10 August 1928 was a memorandum outlining a proposed new BACKGROUND OF NEHRU REPORT British policy, until almost the end of the Raj, was that the timing and nature of Indian constitutional development was to be decided exclusively by the British Parliament, but it was assumed that Indians would be consulted as appropriate. This was formally stated in the Government of India Act 1919 . Britain did not acknowledge the right of Indians to frame their own constitution until the 1942 Cripps Declaration . A nonofficial effort to … (to draft a new constitution was) made by Mrs. Besant and a few of her Indian friends. Most of the leaders were rather cool toward her project, but it was somewhat revised by a so-called All-Parties Conference which met at Delhi in January–February, 1925, and was formally approved by a convention held at Cawnpore in April. It was drafted as a statute and introduced in the House of Commons by Mr. George Lansbury, December 9, 1925, under the title, “The Commonwealth of India Bill.” The bill proposed to confer upon India at once the full status of a Dominion, subject to certain temporary reservations. The Viceroy, as the representative of the King-Emperor, was to have complete charge of military and naval forces and foreign relations until the Indian Parliament by its own act should signify its readiness to assume control. Any step taken by the Indian Parliament concerning the Indian States must have the previous a...

The On sub-continent politics, the Nehru Report had a significant effect. It prepared the ground for the creation of two separate countries the Republic of India and the People’s Republic of Pakistan in 1947 and served to bring together the various independence movement groups.

ADVERTISEMENTS: Nehru report on constitutional framework for the country: As an answer to Lord Birkenhead’s challenge, an All Parties Conference met in February 1928 and appointed a sub­committee under the chairmanship of Motilal Nehru to draft a constitution. This was the first major attempt by the Indians to draft a constitutional framework for the country. ADVERTISEMENTS: The committee included Tej Bahadur Sapru, Subhash Bose, M.S. Aney, Mangal Singh, Ali Imam, Shuab Qureshi and G.R. Pradhan as its members. The report was finalised by August 1928. The recommendations of the Nehru Committee were unanimous except in one respect—while the majority favoured the “dominion status” as the basis of the Constitution, a section of it wanted “complete independence” as the basis, with the majority section giving the latter section liberty of action. Main Recommendations: The Nehru Report confined itself to British India, as it envisaged the future link-up of British India with the princely states on a federal basis. For the dominion it recommended: 1. Dominion status op lines of self-governing dominions as the form of government desired by Indians (much to the chagrin of younger, militant section—Nehru being prominent among them). ADVERTISEMENTS: 2. Rejection of separate electorates which had been the basis of constitutional reforms so far; instead, a demand for joint electorates with reservation of seats for Muslims at the centre and in provinces where they were in minority (and n...
