About

Description

Sir Benegal Narsing Rau CIE was an Indian civil servant, jurist, diplomat and statesman known for his key role in drafting the Constitution of India. He was the Constitutional Advisor to Constituent Assembly. He was also India's representative to the United Nations Security Council from 1950 to 1952. 

Born:

 

February 26, 1887, Karkala or Mangalore, Mysore [now Karnataka], India

Previous office:Prime  Minister of Jammu and Kashmir state (1944–1945)

Known for: Key Person of Drafting committee.

Two  reasons  why  he  was  forgotten-

1.Rau was a bureaucrat, a distinguished one mostly stayed mostly away from the public eye because In 1949 he became India’s permanent representative to the UN. From February 1952 until his death, he was a judge of the Permanent Court of International Justice, The Hague. Before his election to the court, he was regarded as a candidate for secretary-general of the United Nations.

2.Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, after independence, the dominant story of the Indian Constitution was written fundamentally .

We  salute to  such  calibre  on  the  Republic  day.
