Why can Dr Ambedkar's role in the Constituent Assembly be called institutional leadership?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because he led the Drafting Committee and turned collective decisions into a draft
Answer: A. Institutional leadership means guiding work through an established body and procedures rather than acting only as an individual. Dr B. R. Ambedkar chaired the Drafting Committee, where decisions and principles discussed by the Constituent Assembly were organised into constitutional language. His role involved presenting, explaining and defending provisions, while the Constitution remained a product of collective deliberation and adoption. A is correct because it captures both his leadership and the committee's institutional function. B is wrong because he actively participated in the Assembly. C is wrong because he contributed to the drafting and defence of the Constitution. D is wrong because he was not merely the temporary chairman of the Assembly; the statement confuses different offices. Memory cue: Ambedkar led the drafting institution, but constitution-making was collective.
