Question

A. Subhash Chandra Bose
B. Motilal Nehru
C. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
D. Jawaharlal Nehru

Answer 1

Hint: The Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of India is headed by the Home Minister. The Home Minister's chief responsibility, one of the senior officers in the Union Cabinet, is to maintain India's internal security; the country's wide police force falls under its control.

Step by step solution:
 The first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of independent India were Vallabhbhai Jhaverbhai Patel (31 October 1875 – 15 December 1950), popularly known as Sardar Patel.
He was a politician from India. He served as India's first Deputy Prime Minister. He was an Indian barrister and a senior Indian National Congress leader who played a leading role in the freedom movement of the country and led its integration into an independent, unified nation.
During India's political unification and the 1947 Indo-Pakistani War, he served as Home Minister.
Patel was born in the Kheda District of Nadiad and raised in the countryside of Gujarat State. Subsequently, in non-violent civil disobedience against the British Raj, he mobilized peasants from Kheda, Borsad, and Bardoli in Gujarat, becoming one of the most powerful Gujarat leaders.
 In 1934 and 1937, while supporting the Quit India Movement, he was elected the 49th President of the Indian National Congress, organizing the party for elections. As the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of India, Patel organized relief efforts for refugees fleeing to Punjab and Delhi from Pakistan and sought to restore peace.

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.

Note: In addition to those provinces that were under direct British control, the Indian Independence Act of 1947 liberated approximately 565 self-governing princely states from British suzerainty. Almost every princely state was convinced by Patel to accede to India.
