Who among the following person said for the Fundamental Rights "a pledge to our people and a pact with the civilized world"?

A Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru
B Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar
C Dr. Rajendra Prasad
D Dr. S. Radha Krishnan

Correct answer: (d) Dr. S. Radha Krishnan

Explanation

  1. A

    Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru

    Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru spoke often on rights and the Objectives Resolution, but the stored key does not assign him the phrase that Fundamental Rights are “a pledge to our people and a pact with the civilized world”. This option is not the key.

  2. B

    Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar

    Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar was Chairman of the Drafting Committee and the principal architect of the rights chapter. This particular quoted characterisation is not keyed to him in this paper. This option is therefore wrong.

  3. C

    Dr. Rajendra Prasad

    Dr Rajendra Prasad, President of the Constituent Assembly, did not make this keyed remark on Fundamental Rights as a pledge and a pact. This option is not the key.

  4. D

    Dr. S. Radha Krishnan

    Dr S. Radha Krishnan is the official key for the remark that Fundamental Rights are “a pledge to our people and a pact with the civilized world”. The line presents rights both as a domestic promise to citizens and as India’s undertaking before the international community. Among the four names listed, the Commission’s key is Radhakrishnan, so (d) is correct.

Summary. Official key is (d) Dr. S. Radha Krishnan. The quotation treats Fundamental Rights as a dual commitment—to Indians and to the civilized world. Nehru, Ambedkar and Rajendra Prasad are central to the Assembly story but are not the keyed authors of this sentence. Quote-attribution items must follow the stored letter. Only (d) is correct.
