Who was the first Prime Minister of India?

• A. Jawaharlal Nehru
• B. Indira Gandhi
• C. Mahatma Gandhi
• D. Rajendra Prasad

Answer: (A)

The question asks who held the top role in the Indian government as head of government after independence. Jawaharlal Nehru was the first to serve as Prime Minister of independent India, beginning in 1947 and continuing until 1964. He led the transition from colonial rule to self-rule, helped shape early domestic policy with the first Five-Year Plans, and guided India’s initial foreign policy, including founding and championing the Non-Aligned Movement. Indira Gandhi came later as Prime Minister, Mahatma Gandhi never held the office, and Rajendra Prasad was the first President of India, not the Prime Minister.
