Question #3
Who was the first Indian commissioned officer in the British Indian Army?
A. Carriappa
B. K. M. Cariappa
C. S. P. P. Thorat
D. Thakur Hari Singh

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Thakur Hari Singh was one of the earliest Indians to receive a King's Commission in the British Indian Army in 1918, later followed by others. Actually, the first Indian commissioned officer was Subhas Chandra Bose's father's generation? I'll refine: The first Indian to be commissioned as an officer was in 1918 through the Cadet College in Indore. I'll use a more precise fact: The first Indian to become a commissioned officer was Shri S. G. Thakur Singh, though Cariappa is well-known. I'll avoid ambiguity by asking about the first Indian Commander-in-Chief.
