Explanation:

Rajkumari Amrit Kaur- She was a prominent Indian freedom fighter (Gandhian), social reformer, and Health Minister in independent India. Amrit Kaur came from the royal family of Kapurthala, Punjab. She inherited Christianity from her mother Priscilla. She served as the Minister for Health from the early years of independent India (Nehru's first ministry after independence) until 1957.

Rafi Ahmed Kidwai (1894-1954)- He was a prominent Congress leader from Barabanki district, Uttar Pradesh. He served as a Minister in U.P. in 1937 and then in 1946 too. Kidwai held the position of Minister for Communications in Independent India's first ministry.

A.K. Gopalan began his political career as a Congress worker (joined in 1927) in Kerala. In 1939, he made the decision to join the Communist Party. Following the split in the Communist Party in 1964, Gopalan aligned himself with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (co-founder).

C. Rajagopalachari (1878-1972) was a prominent leader in the Indian National Congress and a talented writer. He worked closely with Mahatma Gandhi and played a crucial role in the Constituent Assembly. As the first Indian Governor-General of India from 1948 to 1950, he made history. Rajagopalachari also served as a minister in the Union Cabinet and later as the Chief Minister of Madras state. His outstanding contributions earned him the distinction of being the first recipient of the Bharat Ratna Award. Additionally, he founded the Swatantra Party in 1959, advocating for important principles of freedom and limited government intervention.
