Correct Answer:
Option C —
Jawaharlal Nehru
While many people associate the integration of Princely States with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (who headed the Provincial Constitution Committee and handled the practical negotiation through the States Department), the specific States Committee of the Constituent Assembly was chaired by Jawaharlal Nehru.Historical Context
The States Committee was tasked with the diplomatic challenge of negotiating with the representatives of the various Princely States to secure their participation in the Constituent Assembly. Jawaharlal Nehru’s leadership in this committee emphasized the vision of a unified, democratic India where the Princely States would eventually merge into a single constitutional framework.
Revision Tip:
If the question asks about the integration of states or the Provincial Constitution, think of Sardar Patel. If it asks about Union committees or the States Committee for negotiations within the Assembly, the answer is Jawaharlal Nehru.
