== Government of India ==
[[File:The first Cabinet of independent India.jpg|thumb|right|280px|The first cabinet of independent India. Gopalaswami Ayyangar is fourth from the left in the back row]]
=== Constituent Assembly of India ===
In 1946, Ayyangar was elected to the [[Constituent Assembly of India]], which convened in December 1946 with [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] as its president. Ayyangar was appointed to the thirteen-member Drafting Committee that formulated the Indian Constitution.<ref name=Thalpiyal/><ref name=cadindia>[http://cadindia.clpr.org.in/constituent_assembly_members/n_gopalswami_ayyangar N. Gopalaswami Ayyangar], Constituent Assembly Debates web site, retrieved 4 January 2018.</ref>

===Kashmir affairs===
Soon after the [[Instrument of Accession (Jammu and Kashmir)|accession]] of Jammu and Kashmir in October 1947, Nehru appointed Ayyangar as a cabinet [[minister without portfolio]] and asked him to look after Kashmir affairs, while Nehru himself held the overall charge for Kashmir. The move caused frictions with the home minister [[Vallabhbhai Patel]], who should have normally been responsible for Kashmir along with all other princely states.<ref name=Thalpiyal/>

Ayyangar led the delegation representing India in the United Nations over the [[UN mediation of the Kashmir dispute|Kashmir dispute]] in 1948.<ref>"Indian Defense Aide Dies."''New York Times''. 10 February 1953:27.</ref> In 1952, Prime Minister Nehru appointed him as India's representative in the ongoing negotiations and discussions about Kashmir at the Geneva talks.<ref>"Nehru Appoints Aide for Kashmir Parley."''New York Times''. 6 August 1952:3.</ref>

Ayyangar was the chief drafter of Article 370 which granted local autonomy to the state of [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]].<ref name=Thalpiyal>Thalpiyal, Sheru, Maj. Gen., [http://www.indiandefencereview.com/news/article-370-the-untold-story/ "Article 370: The Untold Story."], ''Indian Defence Review'' 26.1, 2011</ref>

===Minister of Railways and Transport===
During his tenure as Minister for Railways and Transport from 1948–52, the railways experienced considerable growth and expansion in services and equipment. He was the main architect in the regrouping of the Indian Railways into six zonal systems - Central, Eastern, Northern, North-eastern, Southern, and Western.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} Under his leadership, the operation of the railways was smooth and productive. The railway budget also reported surplus earnings at this time.<ref>"Surplus is Indicated for India's Railways". ''New York Times''. 23 February 1952:4.</ref>

===Reorganization of Government===
In 1949, he presented his report on the "Reorganization of the Government Machinery" in an effort to streamline government services and maintain efficiency in the public sphere. He recommended the establishment of four standing committees, and, as a result of this report, the Defence Committee, the Economic Committee, the Parliamentary and Legal Affairs Committee, and the Administrative Organization Committee were formed by the Union government.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9iLPz425GV0C|title=Indian Administration|isbn=9788131799253|last1=Singh|first1=Hoshiar|last2=Singh|first2=Pankaj|year=2011}}</ref>

Ayyangar died in Madras at the age of 71 on 10 February 1953, and was survived by his wife, a son, [[Gopalaswami Parthasarathy (diplomat)|G. Parthasarathy]], who was then Assistant Editor of ''[[The Hindu]]'', and a daughter.<ref name=HinduObit />
