A. 1948
B. 1950
C. 1952
D. 1954

Answer 1

Hint: India has a Parliamentary form of government. The Parliament of India represents all different political opinions of the common man at the national level. The Indian Parliament is the supreme law-making body in India. The Indian Parliament includes the President and the two Houses - Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha.

Complete answer:
The parliamentary form of democratic government requires its citizens to elect their representatives to the Parliament. This is done by the legal adults of the nation by casting votes using a secret ballot.
Universal adult franchise means that all adult citizens of any given nation notwithstanding their caste, creed, religion or gender can cast a vote. Every vote is equal. This is the most essential feature of any democracy. It allows every citizen to be equally involved in the governance of the nation.
Franchise in its literal sense refers to the right of people to elect their representatives. From November 1947 India set out on the arrangement of the main draft constituent move based on the widespread adult establishment. A small bunch of administrators at the Secretariat of the Constituent Assembly started the endeavor. Transforming all adult Indians into electors throughout the following two years against numerous chances, and before they became residents with the beginning of the constitution, required colossal creativity.
India granted universal adult franchise with the adoption of the constitution on January 26, 1950.

Thus, option (B) is correct.

Note: Implementing the Universal Adult Franchise was India's obvious demonstration of decolonization. This was no tradition of colonial rule: Indians envisioned the all-inclusive establishment for themselves, followed up on this nonexistent, and made it their political reality. By late 1949 India pushed through the boondocks of the world's popularity based creative mind and brought forth its biggest majority rule government.
