Dr. Rajendra Prasad: Correspondence and Select Documents ~ Avatans Kumar Today, as we celebrate the birth anniversary of Dr. Rajendra Prasad (or Rajen Babu), here is an interesting episode in the political life of the first President of the Republic of India. The Constituent Assembly was tasked to frame the Constitution of the Republic of India.  Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the President of the Assembly. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru wanted to make C.
