The contributions made by Dr Rajendra Prasad to the making of democratic Republic of India should get adequate recognition in the modern history of the nation.It was Dr. Rajendra Prasad with whose approval our constitution came into force.
Ambedkar was the Chairman of Drafting Committee and along with many others, drafted the Constitution and presented the drafts to the Constituent Assembly.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the Chairman of the Whole Constituent Assembly. So if the name of the maker is to be recorded it should be Dr.Rajendra Prasad and not Ambedkar.
There should be rectification of the erroneous notion that Ambedkar was the maker of the Constitution.
Rajendra Prasad (3 December 1884 – 28 February 1963) was the first President of the Republic of India, when he retired from party politics. Relinquishing the office of the President of India on May 1962,. he stayed in the campus of Bihar Vidyapeeth. In his death in 1963, India lost her Bharat Ratna Prasad.
The nation should remember this great son of Bharatam and clebrate his birthday on 3 December in memory of the maker of the Constitution of India that is Bharat.
