The Mitrokhin Files: The KGB's Hidden Hand in World Affairs Part 1: Infiltration
Playing text to speech
The world’s most damning counterintelligence report is the catalyst behind the avalanche of high-profile cases currently shaking Britain and Italy. If this report were to reach the Indian public, it would likely ignite a civil war. When the KGB's iron grip fractured in 1992, Mitrokhin handed over 25,000 kilobytes of incriminating documents to Britain. This explosive cache of intelligence triggered a slew of investigations and legal battles against politicians and leaders across Britain and Italy. But there's another, even more volatile chapter in this saga—one that implicates India in a sordid tale of betrayal and manipulation.
Mitrokhin’s revelations are a landmark in counterintelligence, yet the narrative in India is a grotesque distortion of reality. Our true history has been systematically buried, revealing a sinister plot where our constitution, leaders, journalists, and media were nothing but marionettes. India, falsely believed to have gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947, was covertly subjugated by the Soviet Union in the 1970s.
The Indian intelligence agency, RAW, infiltrated every nook and cranny of the country's internal affairs. From ministers to the Prime Minister, everyone was under RAW’s relentless surveillance. Yet, the public remains blissfully ignorant of this shadowy control. Why has this vile chapter been concealed from us? Who were the treacherous masterminds who sold out India's future for their insatiable greed for money and power?
This hidden history unfolds against the backdrop of the Cold War—a conflict not fought with tanks and missiles but with ruthless espionage and ideological subversion. American ideologues were hell-bent on spreading capitalism and democracy, while the Soviet Union sought to impose its oppressive communist and socialist doctrines. Both superpowers had their sights set on India, which proclaimed neutrality. India purported to uphold its national interests, refusing to align with either side. But was this neutrality genuine or a grotesque sham? Behind closed doors, a different reality was unfolding, one still obscured from ordinary people.
During the Cold War, intelligence agencies like the KGB and the CIA carved up the world. The Iron Curtain drew a brutal line, herding nations either towards the West or the Soviet Union. India, already tainted by Soviet ideology since the 1917 Russian Revolution, saw the Communist Party of India emerge as early as 1925. Even before independence, communist ideology had sunk its claws into the nation.
The process of colonization in India can be divided into three nefarious phases:
Part 1: Infiltration
In the early years of independence, the Soviet Union extended a manipulative hand of friendship to India, crafting policies that helped the young nation stumble forward. Stalin’s Soviet Union had a pernicious influence on India. Despite Stalin’s scathing remarks, calling Gandhi a reactionary in the Soviet Encyclopedia, Nehru lavished praise on the Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union. This admiration was part of the Soviet strategy to ensnare Nehru in their ideological web. The signs of this influence were blatant in policies like the Five-Year Plans for Industrialization and Nationalization.
However, Nehru was spared from falling completely into this trap by the actions of IB officer Malik. In the early 1950s, Malik unmasked communist sympathizers within the government, thwarting sinister plans to bring the Indian Communist Party to power. Yet, Soviet infiltration continued unabated. In Moscow, Indian diplomats were turned into Soviet stooges through insidious honey trap strategies. Female agents lured Indian officials into compromising situations and then blackmailed them, ensuring top-secret information reached the KGB before the Indian IB could act.
As the KGB’s influence metastasized, so did the power of the Communist Party of India. By 1959, the KGB was funneling funds into the party through various devious channels, including an import-export business with the Soviet bloc. Profits from this scheme, amounting to millions, were funneled into the party fund to solidify its power. Gradually, the KGB planted its operatives within the Indian government, embedding their toxic communist ideology at the grassroots level.
One treacherous figure was V.K. Krishna Menon, India's High Commissioner in London for a decade before becoming the Defense Minister in 1957. According to Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko, Menon was a close ally of the Soviet Union. Under his influence, India shifted from purchasing military equipment from the West to acquiring Soviet MiG-21 aircraft instead of the British Lightning. The KGB repaid Menon's loyalty by ensuring his favorable portrayal in Indian newspapers.
