‘RSS tried to Stoke dissension in Indian Army in 1950’
-------------------------------------------------------------
New Delhi: The RSS in 1950 worked to stoke dissension in the Indian Army over a “north-south” split, allegedly over the leadership of the first Indian Commander-in-Chief K M Cariappa, according to a declassified,CIA report.
The brief two-paragraph wire states that there was an attempt to assassinate General Cariappa, who later became Field Marshal, during a tour of east Punjab and that six people were sentenced to death in connection with the plot.
Claiming Gen Cariappa was resented by Sikh officers, the wire says,
“RSS is capitalising on the north-south split among Army officers, persuading Sikh officers, whom the informant considers treacherous and unreliable, to spread dissension. ”
However apart from noting that informant had his biases, the wire seems to offer a contradictory view that “officers from Travancore, Maharashtra and Madras are invariably loyal to Gen Cariappa”.
Since RSS leadership then and for decades later was strongly influenced by Maharashtrian brahmins, its motives in opposing Gen Cariappa are not clear
