Who is C. H. Bhabha?
Cooverji Hormusji Bhabha more popularly known as C. H. Bhabha was a Parsi businessman who took charge of the Commerce portfolio in the First Cabinet of Independent India. He was in charge of the "Works, Mines and Power" in the interim government that took office on 26 October 1946,. Not a very familiar face in the political circuit until he took charge, his nomination was made possible as Nehru was keen on having a Parsi in his cabinet.
Prior to joining the government, Bhabha was a Director in the Oriental Insurance Company. He was also the first cabinet minister to head the Special Emergency Committee, which was formed as a reaction to the communal riots breaking out in the Capital.
He died suddenly of a heart attack
