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&AW. There had been various assumptions and apprehensions about the myths and realities of our intelligence among media, security analysts and defense 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&AW). Its founder R.N. Kao, one of the most legendary intelligence icons, 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 and unfolds as to how Article 370 was enacted for the ego problem of Sheikh Abdullah by Jawaharlal Nehru.

About Author
The author R.K. Yadav is a true nationalist with the honesty of purpose as his driving force. This book is a part of bibliography of the Intelligence history of India from its inception during the British period. Having served in Research & Analysis Wing (R&AW), the external intelligence of India, was not only a matter of prestige for him but it also imbibed in him enough strength and courage to take on tasks that any individual would even shirk to think about. R&AW authorities booked a senior officer under the Official's Secrets Act for writing a book on some non-significant events of R&AW. Despite this fearful apprehension, the author wrote his book in 2014. However, R&AW authorities refrained to take any action against the author for the reasons best known to them.
Thereafter, many senior officers of R&AW wrote some books on R&AW that they were avoiding due to fear-psychosis of witch-hunting. The author is a regular on TV debates on various channels related to security, defence and intelligence issues in India in particular and the World in general. He also writes columns on these issues in prestigious publications.
The author would strive hard to bring all subjects of human consideration into the public domain until he possesses health and energy in his lifetime.
