The Truth of Terrorism - Secrets of Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)  (English, Hardcover, Tarin Hanif)

India’s External Intelligence: Secrets Of Research And Analysis Wing [RAW] presents an insider’s account of the mysterious proceedings in RAW, India’s top intelligence agency.

Summary Of The Book

RAW or Research Analysis Wing is India’s premier intelligence agency, the equivalent of CIA or KGB. But despite being a crucial part of the external intelligence system of a democracy as big as India, RAW is surprisingly well-shielded from parliamentary and public scrutiny.
Through India’s External Intelligence: Secrets Of Research And Analysis Wing [RAW], Major General V. K. Singh seeks to lift the veil off the face of RAW and reveal the activities proceeding underneath. Unlike other authors who have made similar attempts in the past, Major Singh has the advantage of an insider’s perspective. He sheds light on some of the most glaring anomalies that threaten the credibility of India’s top intelligence agency, and therefore threaten India’s national security.

Major Singh explores how equipment was procured at exorbitant prices by fudging technical parameters, how moles are recruited by foreign intelligence agencies, how money changes hands at the cost of security, and how a lack of accountability has permeated the entire system. He also writes about death of a brilliant RAW officer named Vipin Handa, and the ongoing rivalry between the Investigation Bureau (IB) and RAW.
With this tell-all, the author seeks to make the public aware of the blatant misuses of the taxpayers’ money, urging Indian citizens to fight for increased accountability in their top intelligence agency.

India’s External Intelligence: Secrets Of Research And Analysis Wing [RAW] was published in 2007 by Manas Publications.
