Sardar Patel and Nehru's correspondence on RSS' alleged role during Indo-Pak war 1947

Context: After Pakistani 'non state actors' and Pakistan military infiltrated Kashmir in 1947 , Maharaja Hari Singh sought help from India and signed instrument of accession .India airlifted troops and weapons to fight Pakistani militia/army. The correspondence between Sardar and Patel is about arms allegedly being diverted to RSS  which was supposed to reach Home guards .

In a letter dated 30 December 1947 Nehru claims of getting 'disturbing' news of arms that were supposed to be given to Home Guards were diverted to RSS.:-

I have received very disturbing news from Bakshi through the telephone about the way the arms that we have sent for him have been kept back and distributed to RSS people. While Jammu was in imminent danger a large part 01 the consignment of arms was just held back and Bakshi's  Home Guards were fighting often without rifles and always with too little ammunition and dying in the process.

It seems from a number of reports that have reached me that the RSS is being supported and armed at the cost of Bakshi's Home Guards and that propaganda is being openly carried on by posters and otherwise against Sheikh Abdullah. In some distant parts of the State where there are no invaders the RSS is creating trouble by sending their emissaries. I am inclined to think that Mahajan sympathizes with these activities and perhaps helps them.

Sardar's reply (dated 30 December 1947) expressing his serious doubt about Nehru's claims of Arms diversion.

Bakshi [Ghulam Mohammad] was practically the whole day with me yesterday. He took me to a public meeting and also to receive two or three deputations of Hindus and Muslims, but he never mentioned to me that he had any difficulty about his getting arms from the State authorities or that they were held back by them. In fact, I did not know that the consignment of arms was in charge of the State authorities.

Neither Bakshi nor anybody in Jammu informed me about the RSS activities there. Whatever may have been done by the RSS in the beginning, there seemed to be no evidence of their activities now.

Also Sardar immediately starts inquiry on same day (letter dated 30 December 1947) and shoots a letter to Mahajan asking for explanation 

..had a complaint from Bakshi that his Home Guards are not getting the firearms. I do not know how far this complaint is true. It would not be wise to give them any cause for complaint in such matters. It seems he has also complained that RSS people are being armed. You did not mention anything about it when I met you at Jammu. But you must make sure that no such thing happens.

Nehru reply's back to Sardar (30 December 1947) , 

The trouble about the distribution of arms is a fairly old one and has been discussed with the military authorities here several times. Bucher is very annoyed that the arms specially sent for Bakshi were not given to him. He has asked Kulwant Singh for an explanation.

Note: Bucher was later caught leaking secret military information to Pakistan  sacked from military service .Says a lot about the kind of people Nehru trusted.

Sardar replies back  (8th Jan 1948) after making inquiry from his side and finding that Nehru's suspicion was baseless  .

you wrote to me about a complaint from Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad that the Home Guards were not getting firearms sent by us, and that the latter were being directed to the RSS. There was a suggestion that His Highness and Mahajan were to blame for it.

I have now had enquiries made of Mahajan, and the position seems to be as follows. Neither His Highness nor Mahajan nor the Military Adviser of the State was told about the supply of these arms, and they had no information as to who got and distributed them. Subsequently, Mahajan ascertained that the arms were supplied to Major-General Kulwant Singh, and he has been giving them to Bakshi. Apparently, he has not complied with Bakshi's request for light machine-guns and mortars on the ground that there were no Home Guards fit to use these arms. It also appears that Bakshi ordered these arms for the Home Guards without any reference to His Highness or Mahajan.

As regards the complaint that the RSS were being armed, both His Highness and Mahajan have not ordered directly or indirectly any arms to be supplied to these people. There were complaints against some of the RSS people that they were creating mischief against the Muslims in the State. Mahajan called all the leaders and told them that this could not be tolerated. No arms were supplied whatsoever; actually there were not even sufficient arms to supply to the State forces. Some RSS men joined the militia which was raised by the State, but they were under military discipline and fought certain battles on the border.Sheikh Abdullah had taken charge. Mahajan says he has virtually had no connection whatsoever with this aspect of the State Administration.
