About the Book

This book would probably be the first eye opening
account which has unlocked the main achievements and failures of Indian
intelligence including IB and R&A W. There had been various assumptions,
apprehensions and pretensions about the myths and realities of our intelligence
among media, security analysts and in defence forces which have been threadbare
for the public of this country in general and for the new generation in
particular. It begins as to how the Thuggi and Dacoity' Department created by the British in 1904 took the
shape of Research and Analysis Wing (R&A W) on September 21, 1968 which
proved one of the most formidable intelligence agency of the world. Its founder
R.N. Kao proved one of the most outstanding and legendary intelligence icon which has no parallel in the intelligence fraternity of
the world. He outclassed Richard Helms of CIA and many other contemporaries of
MI6 of Britain and Mossad of Israel while merging a
territory of 3000 sq. miles of Sikkim within the Indian territory.
There is no other example in the world intelligence as to how R&AW and its
icon R.N. Kao carried out this task in the face of an imminent threat by China
on its border. This book also reveals Kao's heroics in the liberation of
Bangladesh which was also a monumental contribution.

This book also unfolds as to how Article 370
was enacted for the ego problem of Sheikh Abdullah by Jawaharlal Nehru and how
Sheikh betrayed him later and was arrested for treason by IB. There had been
numerous stories criticizing IB for its failure to provide adequate intelligence
during the 1962 War wi
