Which option correctly identifies Independent India’s first Indian Army Chief/kamandara-ina-cheepha?

Last Updated: 03 Aug 2026

This question belongs to the “First in India” topic under Indian polity and administration. “First in India” questions require careful reading because similar expressions may have different answers. “First Indian” can differ from “first person in India”; “first woman” can differ from “first Indian woman”; “first Governor-General of independent India” differs from “first Indian Governor-General”; and the first Olympic medal differs from the first individual Olympic gold. The correct association here is janarala ke. The other choices belong to other genuine Indian milestones, so they work as plausible distractors but do not satisfy this exact distinction. kariyappa.” Recheck the wording whenever sources use different definitions or historical conventions.

Aganesha vasudeva mavalnkara

Bsee. ke. daphtaree

Caravinda panagadhiya

Djanarala ke. ema. kariyappa

Correct Answer: janarala ke. ema. kariyappaYour Answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is janarala ke. The reference list identifies janarala ke. kariyappa with the distinction “Independent India’s first Indian Army Chief/kamandara-ina-cheepha” and records the associated detail as 1949. Option-wise review: janarala ke. kariyappa is correct for the exact category stated. ganesha vasudeva mavalnkara is incorrect because it belongs to another achievement or field. daphtaree is a valid name in Indian general knowledge, but it does not hold this precise record. aravinda panagadhiya is also incorrect because its post, year, event, institution, or milestone association is different. Read “Indian,” “woman,” “independent India,” “individual,” “full-time,” “indigenous,” and the specified institution or event carefully. Therefore the answer field and correct index should point to option D, janarala ke.
