Previous Year Question

The Motilal Nehru Committee demanded a Bill of Rights in 1928. NCERT's Indian Constitution at Work specifically states that the Motilal Nehru Committee had demanded a Bill of Rights as early as 1928.

The Committee's constitutional proposals became known as the Nehru Report of 1928. The original report contained a separate section on Fundamental Rights, including freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association, freedom of religion, equality before law, and equal citizenship rights for men and women.

Here, “Bill of Rights” does not refer to a separate British statute passed in 1928; it refers to a constitutionally protected list of citizens' rights.
