India: First Lok Sabha general election, Delhi, January 1952. An election stand for Shri Durga Das, electoral symbol a bicycle

The Indian general election of 1951Ð52 elected the first Lok Sabha since India became independent in August 1947. Until this point, the Indian Constituent Assembly had served as an interim legislature. The Indian National Congress (INC) won a landslide victory, winning 364 of the 489 seats and 45% of the total votes polled. This was over four times as many votes as the second-largest party. Jawaharlal Nehru became the first democratically elected Prime Minister of the country. (Photo by: Pictures From History/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)
