Women who helped frame the Indian Constitution: Ammu Swaminathan

She became a part of the Constituent Assembly from the Madras Constituency in 1946.

In a speech during the discussion on the motion by Dr B R Ambedkar to pass the draft Constitution on November 24, 1949, an optimistic and confident Ammu said, “People outside have been saying that India did not give equal rights to her women. Now we can say that when the Indian people themselves framed their Constitution they have given rights to women equal with every other citizen of the country.”
