Answer: Mahatma Gandhi
Notes: The Constituent assembly was chaired by Dr. Rajendra Prasad when it met as a constituent body and by G. V. Mavlankar when it met as a legislative body. Besides Ambedkar, the four Congress giants, Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, Rajendra Prasad and Abdul Kalam Azad, were dominant players in drafting the Constitution. The biggest absence was Mahatma Gandhi, who was busy trying to douse the flames of communal riots.
