INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADVANCE RESEARCH
IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY

This paper Challenge the stereotype that the female members of the Constituent Assembly were a monolithic group. It focused primarily on "women’s issues" or served as silent witnesses to the patriarchal of patriarchy drafting. By focusing on two of the most radical voices-Dakshayani Velayudhan (the only Dalit woman in the Assembly) and Begum Aizaz Rasul (the only Muslim woman). This research reclaims their agency as architects of a universalist democratic ethos. The study employs a historical-analytical method, primarily utilizing the Constituent Assembly Debates (CAD) as primary source material to map the interventions of these two figures. It analyzes their positions through the lens of Constitutional Morality and Intersectionality.

The paper argues that Velayudhan and Rasul broke contemporary norms by rejecting the "politics of protection." Velayudhan’s refusal to support separate electorates for Scheduled Castes and Rasul’s bold stance against reservations for religious minorities were not acts of concession, but radical assertions of a "New India" where citizenship would transcend caste and creed. Their vision was one of a "substantive" rather than "formal" equality. As India marches towards Viksit Bharat @ 2047, the paper concludes that the contributions of these "Daughters of the Constitution" provide the essential blueprint for an inclusive nation. Their legacy proves that the Indian Constitution was not merely a gift from a male elite, but a hard-won consensus shaped by women who dared to challenge the sociopolitical norms of their time.
