How can Sardar Patel's role in the Constituent Assembly be linked with institutional nation building?

Because of his contribution linked with important committees and unity

Correct answer: A. Institutional nation building means creating stable public institutions, rules and arrangements through which a united country can be governed. Sardar Patel was an important member of the Constituent Assembly and contributed through major committee work and discussions connected with the organisation of the new Indian state. His role can therefore be understood as part of the effort to combine national unity with workable constitutional institutions. B is wrong because the Assembly was creating the framework of independent India, not supporting foreign rule. C is wrong because Patel did participate in the Assembly and its work. D is wrong because the constitutional project was connected with representative government and elections, not opposition to them. Memory cue: nation building needs both unity and institutions that can turn unity into effective governance.
