The correct answer is option 3, Rukmini Devi Arundale. Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, option 1, was the first woman to hold a cabinet position in India. Sucheta Kriplani, option 2, was the first female Chief Minister of an Indian state. Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, option 4, was a social reformer and activist, but she was not the first woman to be nominated as a member of Rajya Sabha. Rukmini Devi Arundale, an eminent dancer and choreographer, was nominated as the first woman member of Rajya Sabha in 1952. She was a proponent of Indian classical dance and played a significant role in the revival of Bharatanatyam. Through her nomination, she became a trailblazer for women in Indian politics.
