Q1. Who was the first Law Minister of independent India?
Explanation
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was independent India’s first Law Minister in Jawaharlal Nehru’s first cabinet and also chaired the Drafting Committee of the Constitution. Maulana Azad handled education, not law. J. L. Nehru was the Prime Minister, so he was not the Law Minister. Vallabhbhai Patel was Home Minister and also dealt with states and integration. Therefore the ministry asked in the question points to Ambedkar, while the other names belong to different portfolios or positions in the first Union government.
