Q. Who among the following said that the preamble of the Indian Constitution is "The Keynote of the Constitution"?

  • (A) Ernest Barker
  • (B) Jawaharlal Nehru
  • (C) Dr. Ambedkar
  • (D) Nelson Mandela
Explanation by: Shyam Dubey

Ernest Barker, a renowned British political scientist, referred to the Preamble of the Indian Constitution as “The Keynote of the Constitution” in the preface to his book Principles of Social and Political Theory.
 His admiration for the Indian Preamble highlights its philosophical and moral significance.

❌ Why the others are incorrect:

Jawaharlal Nehru: He introduced the Objectives Resolution, which influenced the Preamble, but he didn’t call it the “keynote.”
Dr. Ambedkar: As the chairman of the Drafting Committee, he defended the Constitution eloquently, but this specific phrase is not attributed to him.
Nelson Mandela: He was a South African leader and had no direct contribution to the Indian Constitution.

✅ So, the best answer is: (A) Ernest Barker
