ABSTRACT
The last colonial-made constitution of India was the 1935 Government of India Act. When the Constituent Assembly of India convened in December 1946 to debate the content of the first Indian-made constitution for the new nation, a comprehensive range of international precedents were subjected to scrutiny and debate. Where Anglo-Indians were not being actively discharged, Henry Albert John Gidney complained that their younger generations were being prevented from entering in the same proportions as previously and those offered employment were facing a significant reduction in salaries. So Gidney brazenly set about seeking to prove that Anglo-Indians could not live on wages as low as other Indian groups. Sapru Conciliation Committee consisting of most eminent Indians granted community separate seat in central cabinet because of recognised importance and services to the country. Sapru Report acceptable to majority of Indian parties including Congress.
