Nehru Report

The Nehru Report was a constitutional document prepared in 1928 by an All Parties Conference in India, chaired by Motilal Nehru. This report proposed a future constitution for independent India, primarily advocating for dominion status within the British Commonwealth.12

The report emerged in response to the British government's challenge to Indian leaders to draft their own constitution, following the exclusion of Indians from the Simon Commission. While the Nehru Report aimed for dominion status, the Indian independence movement later shifted its goal to complete sovereignty, or Purna Swaraj. The proposals in the Nehru Report were ultimately rejected by the British.321
