The correct answer is (d). The Constituent Assembly for framing the Constitution for Independent India was set up in 1946.
The Constituent Assembly was a body of elected representatives who were responsible for drafting the Constitution of India. The Assembly was set up on 9 December 1946, and its first meeting was held on 11 December 1946. The Assembly consisted of 389 members, of whom 292 were elected from British India and 93 were nominated by the princely states. The Assembly was presided over by Dr Rajendra Prasad.
The Constituent Assembly worked for two years and 11 months, and it adopted the Constitution of India on 26 November 1949. The Constitution came into force on 26 January 1950.
The Constituent Assembly was a historic body that played a vital role in the making of modern India. The Assembly’s work was complex and challenging, but it was ultimately successful in drafting a Constitution that has served India well for over 70 years.
The other options are incorrect. Option (a) is incorrect because the Constituent Assembly was not set up in 1945. The Cabinet Mission Plan, which proposed the setting up of the Constituent Assembly, was announced on 16 May 1946. Option (b) is incorrect because the Constituent Assembly was not set up in 1947. India gained independence on 15 August 1947, and the Constituent Assembly was already in existence by that time. Option (c) is incorrect because the Constituent Assembly was not set up in 1949. The Constitution of India was adopted on 26 November 1949, but the Constituent Assembly had been in existence for two years and 11 months by that time.
