Who was the first Indian commissioned officer in the British Indian Army? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Who was the first Indian commissioned officer in the British Indian Army?
A. Carriappa
B. K. M. Cariappa
C. Thakur Hari Singh
D. S. P. P. Thorat
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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.
