  1. Apparently Menon was known as 'India's Rasputin' by western diplomats at the time. One reference mentions a British diplomat saying - "While it is true that Krishna has helped us on occasion. … . I nevertheless rate him for my own part as a thoroughly dangerous man, indeed as Nehru's evil genius—a born conspirator and intriguer, making mischief wherever he goes, utterly unscrupulous, determined to mark his mark in the world, and now gradually undermining, whether deliberately or not … the whole conduct of India's foreign relations."
