The Karachi Session of the Indian National Congress in 1931, presided over by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, adopted two significant resolutions: one on Fundamental Rights and the other on the National Economic Programme. These resolutions outlined the vision of independent India regarding socio-economic justice and individual liberties. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the primary drafter of these resolutions. Although initially drafted by Nehru, the resolution underwent some revisions to accommodate broader consensus within the Congress, as certain aspects were considered radical. The principles enshrined in these resolutions later served as a foundational influence for the Directive Principles of State Policy in the Constitution of India.
