All Parties Conference

The All Parties Conference was a group of Indian political parties known for organizing a committee in May 1928 to author the Constitution of India after independence was actualized.[1] It was chaired by Dr. M. A. Ansari.[2] A draft constitution, known as the Nehru Report, was adopted by the All Parties Conference in Lucknow, in 1928.[1] Members of the All Parties Conference included the Indian National Congress, All-India Hindu Mahasabha, All-India Muslim League, All-India Conference of Indian Christians, All India States Peoples' Conference, and Central Khalifat Committee.[1] In its meeting from 28 August 1928 to 31 August 1928, the All Parties Conference recommended dominion status for India.[2]

This vision was based on a decades-long period of Congress-led consultation concerning the future independent constitution. More importantly, it rested on a detailed draft constitution adopted in 1928 by the All Parties Conference that met in Lucknow. The draft, known as the "Nehru Report," was written by a seven-member committee, chaired by Dr. M.A. Ansari. ...
