Neither Nehru nor the IB, however, realized how thoroughly the Indian embassy in Moscow was being penetrated by the KGB, using its usual varieties of Honey Trap
1950s, with the help of a female swallow, codenamed NEVEROVA, who presumably seduced Indian diplomat codenamed PROKHOR
In May 1962 the Soviet Presidium authorized the KGB residency in New Delhi to conduct active-measures operations to strengthen Menon's position & enhance his personal popularity
During Menon's tenure India's main source of arms imports switched from the West to the Soviet Union.
Later on KGB was in Not in contact with either Nanda or Shastri.
Moscow's main reason for supporting them was, almost certainly, negative rather than positive - to prevent the right-wing Hindu traditionalist Morarji Desai
Then it was Indira Gandhi (codenamed VANO by the KGB)
Influence of KGB is 1967 Elections :
After the elections of February 1967, the KGB claimed, doubtless optimistically, that it was able to influence 30 to 40 per cent of the new parliament.
leading figure in the Congress Forum for Socialist Action was recruited in 1971 as Agent RERO and paid about 100,000 rupees a year for what the KGB considered important political intelligence as well as acting as an agent recruiter.
In the early 1970s, the KGB presence in India became one of the largest in the world outside the Soviet bloc
Indira Gandhi placed no limit on the number of Soviet diplomats and trade officials, thus allowing the KGB and GRU as many cover positions as they wished.
Suitcases full of bank notes were said to be routinely taken to the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's house. Former Syndicate member S. K. Patil is reported to have said that Mrs Gandhi did not even return the suitcases.
'The KGB residency in India has the opportunity to organize a protest demonstration of up to 20,000 Muslims in front of the US embassy in India.
The cost of the demonstration would be 5,000 rupees and would be covered in the... budget for special tasks in India.
In April 1971, two months after Mrs Gandhi's landslide election victory, the Politburo approved the establishment of a secret fund of 2.5 million convertible rubles (codenamed DEPO) to fund active-measures operations in India over the next four years.
Reports from the New Delhi main residency, headed from 1975 to 1977 by Leonid Shebarshin, claimed (probably greatly exaggerated) credit for using its agents of influence to persuade Mrs Gandhi to declare the emergency.
To ensure success it mounted a major operation, codenamed KASKAD, involving over 120 meetings with agents during the 1977 election campaign. Nine of the Congress (R) candidates at the 1977 elections were KGB agents.
During 1975, a total of 10.6 million roubles was spent on active measures in India designed to strengthen the support for Mrs Gandhi & undermine her political opponents.

By 1973, the KGB had 10 Indian newspapers on its payroll plus a press agency. During 1975 the KGB planted 5,510 articles in Indian newspapers.

Declassified CIA files confirm certain FBI documents related to Adolf Hitler, which claimed the Nazi Fuehrer escaped Germany and took up residence in South America after World War II.
The files indicate that in 1955, the chief of the CIA's Western Hemisphere Division (WHD) received a secret memo with the subject line "Operational: Adolf Hitler," from the acting CIA station chief in Venezuela, which indicated that one of his sources had received a tip that the Nazi Fuhrer was indeed alive and living in Argentina.
Interestingly, these revelations seem to confirm declassified FBI documents that also claimed sources had indicated that Hitler was indeed living in Argentina.
While the official story sold to the global public is that Hitler died of suicide in the Fuhrerbunker, the actual truth may be vastly different from the popularized version of events.
The acting CIA station chief's informants, CIMELODY, was contacted by a former SS trooper Phillip Citroen, who claimed to have been in contact with Hitler-who was living under the pseudonym Adolph Schuttlemayer - about once a month in Colombia, while there on a trip from Maracaibo as an employee of the Royal Dutch Shipping Company.
Citroen said that Hitler had left Colombia for Argentina around January 1955, and erroneously suggested that the statute of limitations for war crimes had passed - as it had been 10 years since the end of World War II - and that the Allies could no longer prosecute Hitler as a war criminal.
The CIA documents reveal that Citroen told CIMELODY that he had even taken a photo with Hitler, and provided a grainy picture that was included in the CIA memo - with Hitler purported to be the man on the right.
After reviewing the CIA's files, the WHD chief reported that Citroen had only the year before reported that a colony of Nazis was present in Colombia that engaged in "idolatry of the Nazi past addressing him as 'der Fuhrer' and affording him the Nazi salute and storm trooper adulation," in reference to Hitler himself.
Hindu temple in a Muslim-dominated country. Shocked? There is Archaeological evidence for this

Ateshgah is an ancient Hindu religious temple dedicated to Jwala Devi in Surakhani, a suburb of greater Baku, Azerbaijan.
It was initially thought to be a Zoroastrian fire worship place as โAtashโ (ุขุชุด) is the Persian word for fire. But evidence proves it's a Hindu temple.
The trident mounted atop the structure is usually a distinctly Hindu sacred symbol (as the Trishul, which is commonly mounted on temples) and has been cited by Zoroastrian scholars as a specific reason for considering the Atashgah as a Hindu site.

in 1969, the โMuslim worldโ decided to form its own international organization, something that would be โthe collective voice of the Muslim world.โ
It was called the OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference), later renamed in 2011 as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
The first conference was to be held in Rabat in Morocco.
Among the countries jostling to be part of the โMuslim worldโ: secular and democratic India under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
