Rishi Sunak's grandfather 'trained Mau Mau militants who fought the British in Kenya': PM's late relative Ramdas Sunak taught the rebels guerilla techniques and was part of a Hindu supremacist group - despite being on the UK's colonial payroll, book claims

Even bythe formidable standards of 20th Century carnage, the Mau Mau rebellion of the 1950s was a blood-soaked affair. Up to 25,000 people are estimated to have died as Kenyan militants revolted against the British Empire in their quest for self-rule.

It is now emerging that one key figure on Kenya's side was none other than Rishi Sunak's paternal grandfather – a man whose CV also reveals close links with an extremist paramilitary group.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Ramdas Sunak was a member of a Hindu supremacist outfit called Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which was modelled on fascist organisations like the Nazis. It has been accused of widespread violence and one of its members was responsible for the 1948 assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.

According to family sources – who do not want to be identified – Sunak Snr, who moved from the Punjab to Nairobi as a young man, was involved in schooling Mau Mau militants in guerrilla techniques.

Ramdas's activities were carried out despite him being on the British colonial payroll. He was a trained accountant who worked as a clerk and then a senior administrator in the finance and justice departments.
