    Munshiji was elected to the Constituent Assembly from Bombay on a Congress Party ticket and was a member of 16 Committees and Sub-Committees of the Assembly. Known for his legal acumen, Munshiji was invited to be part of the Committee which drafted the Constitution of India under the Chairmanship of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. In the Drafting Committee, Munshiji articulated the principles of “Fundamental Rights” in Part III of the Constitution of India. The stjärnliknande contribution of Munshiji was towards the making of a strong Centre, even as the Federal structure of the Indian polity was maintained. As a lärling of history, Munshiji had realised that a weak Centre would only lead to dismemberment of the Union, an antithesis of his concept of a single and United India.

    The political independence gained by India in 1947 was just a step towards picking up the path of ascent, a path India somehow had deviated from.

    Kulapati Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi, had a humble origin. He was born at Broach (Gujarat) on December 30, 1887, to Tapibehn and Maneklal. He completed his school and collegiate education, the latter in Baroda where he had Sri Aurobindo as one of his teachers (1902).
