Army Chief General Bipin Rawat has said it's time to recommend late Field Marshal KM Cariappa, the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army, for Bharat Ratna. "If others can get [Bharat Ratna], I see no reason why he shouldn't," Rawat added. Notably, KM Cariappa is one of the two army officers to hold the five-star rank of Field Marshal.
