I remember some of the words with which the Hon’ble Mover introduced this Resolution,–they are ringing in my ears. He said: “It is a resolve, an undertaking, a dedication….” Yes, it is a dedication. We have just come to the threshold of our work–we have not as yet crossed the threshold. We are, as it were, pilgrims gathered together in the vestibule and on the point of crossing the threshold to the temple. Now is the time and the moment for a vow of dedication and self-consecration to the task which we have taken upon ourselves. A tremendous responsibility rests upon our shoulders and it is but meet and proper that, at, this moment, before we have actually commenced the work, we should make a firm resolve in our mind to discharge our duty, as befits the worthy representatives, of framing a constitution for a free and independent sovereign republic.
