Grim realities of India’s unsung spies in Pakistan are far from the reel-life fiction of Black Tiger

- In the movies, R&AW spies end up in Geneva and Paris, and are only locked away with Katrina Kaif. But the real stories of R&AW’s deep-cover agents in Pakistan were full of flies, heat dust and danger-and their sacrifices have mostly gone unrecognised.

can you do a story on how prc officials were able to detect see eye aye agents?
Spies are known for their failure. Successful spies dies in anonymity.
very unfortunate to know these great patriots who were unrecognised... may his soul RIP
Being a spy for india seems to be the most thankless and dangerous job. My salutation to these brave unsung heroes.🙏
Excellent and a very moving episode.
My head hangs in shame with how they were treated after serving their country. Politicians and bureaucrats should be slapped publicly for this.
This is the life of a spy. All low level operatives are treated this way after they are done with their service.
Families of Indian spies across the globe must be protected and taken care in all aspects. A stronger nation needs a well trained spie network. India salute RAW personals and support teams working secretly to protect our motherland without been openly recognised for their immense contributions to our nation. Take Care.
Akanda Bharat ❤ Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thanks, Mr. Pravin Swami for bringing the stories of these Unsung Heroes.
First Like. Excellent and timely post. These brave and hidden patriots need broader recognition and India needs to do a lot more to free them and bring them home
Thank you for covering this sad reality of the lives and careers of Indian Spies. Please do cover more on this topic, so people can be grateful to these unknown & unsung heroes.
Being disowned by bureaucrats is bad enough, but seeing that powerful NSAs are seemingly not doing enough is rather distressing.
We know that not much can be revealed by the government to the public. However it would be good if the government can show us how they honour these heroes who should be treated at par with soldiers. 🙏
Ravinder Kaushik was renamed as “Akbar” and made into a member of another community in Romeo Akbar Walter… One of many examples of how Bollywood makes Heroes from the majority faith into minorities and villains from minority communities into members of my faith (Sherni has both)… Unfortunately, this plays into the hands of those that boycott Bollywood movies as there is no logical reason other than propaganda
You are wrong :
1. Akbar isn't a real life portrayal of Ravinder Kaushik, the only similarity is that he was a spy who went to pakistan. The story itself is loosely inspired by true events.
2. This very video lists Indian Ms who went to jail in Pakistan, and sacrificed their lives for India (inayat masih) who was caught while trying to bring Kaushik back.
What's the point of your comment? That only majority community do it, while minorities often villains?
3. Raazi is apparently a true story of an Indian M spy, according to Harinder Sikka. Very similar to Ravinder Kaushik's story.
4. There have been other movies like eek Tha tiger, also loosely based on Kaushik.
And there have been countless movies where members of minority community are portrayed as terrorists and negatively stereotyped.
@@mrgyani
Inayat masih was christian
@@georgechacko6582 Indian Christians don't use the masih title..
@@mrgyanino, punjabi christians do. I lived in punjab for a few years
Thank you for covering this. Hope a lot more people watch and understand what a privilege it is to live a normal life in your own country!
I was moved by the accounts of the fate of the unsung heroes of India.
Thank you, once again, for valuable and important info
Hero's should recognize 🙏🏻
Excellent! Salute the unsung brave hearts and heros of the country
Pakistani: India muradabad.
Indian: Pakistan muradabad.
Arabs: Mashallah, we've successfully divided these brothers with our Islam.
I don't think so, I'd put the primary blame to the British.
@@namaan123 primarily blame the people itself
thank you the print and praveen swamy for this effort. you're doing great service to indians and the profession of journalism.
Super good video!! Thank you!
This is such a saddening life - story of the people who genuinely sacrifice their lives for this country where as corrupt Bureaucrats & politicians sit on these honest people relief files indefinitely, I hope this Govt. do something meaningful for these unsung heroes.
Once again, again and again, a job well done by the Team Print.
enlightening episode from the ever interesting Preveen ji.
Thanks for naming only one politician: Vajpayee.
And moving past Sarabjit quickly because the Congress government simply forgot him.
Thank you praveen Sahni, for telling the truth in most pragmatic and poetic way .
Just stunned. m moved by these heroics 😢
Great effort from The Print...but i wish this report must also be aired in Hindi in a more detailed manner so that it can cater to a larger section of the audience
Thanks
Dear Arkajit,
Thank you for supporting our journalism.
I can just hear him speak.... he's magical.
All I want say, Thank you Print 👏🏽
This is extremely unfortunate that their services are not recognized. Atleast our government should make list of all those great spies and help their families atleast anonymously. Their sacrifice should atleast support their family. They remain happy in heaven with peace. Soldiers welfare fund like Scheme can be initiated to help them, like national security service (NSS) scheme for helping spies, which would generate funds from public and yearly 200 from all employees of government and private sector drawing more than 50k per month, also 1 to 2 lakhs from companies or private industries making profit more than 10 crore annually.
Pravin is so cute when he takes those long, awkward poses 😅. He reminds me of Shekharji from the early days of The Print 🌸✊
Respect for all those who sacrifice so much for our Nation....we will never forget them
Well that's the story everywhere in every country. In any field be it doctors engineers soldiers only a handful of good people ever get recognised. Let's hope technology evolves to a point that we don't need such sacrifices anymore.
Humbling
Salute to all of u.
can you do a story on how prc officials were able to detect see eye aye agents?
Thanks a ton for highlighting this truth. Indian government should be in the forefront to bring their people home from hostile territories.
Salute to our unsung heroes
Salute to all of them
People who work espionage take on some of the dangerous tasks for their country and regarding recognition for their work, if they get that then the whole purpose of their job is finished. Majority have accepted this mentality when they decide to dedicate their lives in this line of work, unfortunately ordinary civilians can find it hard to understand.
India should learn from MOSSAD.Govt should form corpus fund for Spies and their families (renewed monthly) under PM/NSA chief/RAW Cheif or the TRIO.Soldiers should never worry for their family. Wars r always won with intelligence provided by uniformed SPIES.
🙏
Unsung heroes 👏🏻
This is so sad.
Better make your children politicians and send them for foreign education.. Enjoy life of luxury for at least 4 generations
Sad truth which should be changed
A country is known by how they treat their real heroes and what value we put to their lives. Extremely sad state of affairs.
matlab kuch bhi?
Government should provide pension and support to all such heroes
OM SHANTI!
Do a report on Pakistani spies in India as well
RIP and respect to all those who paid the ultimate price for our country😔
❤
These unsung heroes need to be recognised and given their due respect by the nation, anonymously as its not possible to always give out their names .
The families of those who died and those who are still in pakistani jails need to be taken care of by the government with their full salarys paid to their families till their normal retirement ages. The government can do this without openly acknowledging them as government agents as undercover agents might need to be still denied. Thats how international espionage works.
And there needs to be a memorial in RAW Headquarters dedicated to the unknown spy. The CIA has a similar one in their base with a star representing each agent lost in action.
"Let's not forget the ones who went willingly into the cold but never returned"
There is a first person account of a spy Mohanlal Bhaskar -- main Pakistan mein Bharat ka jasoos -- i am surprised his name did not find mention here. He languished in Pak jails before he was freed in prisoner exchange... His book does not say what his achievements were, just how he went, how he was caught and his prison life ...
Shame on gov of India for not recognising its heros
Brother They are spies
No country will even accept that they have spies
The USA's CIA had a heavy involvement in South and Central America in the 1970's and 1980's. Apparently many of those agents came from post-Castro and post-communist Cuba when Fidel Castro claimed he was running organized crime out of Cuba. As the story of the former USSR and now Russia has taught us just because a country has chosen communism as its form of government doesn't mean that they have succeeded in running organized crime out of the country although you would think it helps. On the contrary, the USSR with its massive natural resources - to include gold mines and gold reserves - and its poorly trained police forces proved to be a good place for organized crime to take hold and flourish. As you said: the spy business may seem glamorous but you do have to question the motives of those who choose this profession but if their intentions are for good and they have a comprehensive understanding of human nature and good and evil they should be rewarded for their services to their country.
Sad state of support systems
#ThePrint #SecurityCode #PraveenSwami
Spies need to make the government sign significantly more remunerative contracts before getting drafted. This is for the sake of their family and country.
Well like Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav alias Hussain Mubarak Patel
It's never worth risking life for any country or boundary
This is too sad.
For whom did they “gave away “the only one life?
This patriotism is of no good to those for whom it’s done.
Feel bad!
Very unfortunate part of this business is, they can never be owned. But Govt can take care of his family or provide some kind of handsome pension..not peanuts coz we obssess over bureaucracy...for example, an low-level agent sent across might earn few thousands when he gave his life deserves more..coZ pple sitting in ivory towers I safety feel that their own blood & money is being given to them...they feel it's free money from what they can dip for themselves...
Kulbhushan Jadhav?
Good you broke the myth
It's not worth it in the end. It never is worth it
It's been happening for decades. Shows us as a society n nation of hypocrites
Why R A W !!
Why not RAW
Kalbushan is banging adyala jail😅
It feels good to see a begger is smiling. Best of luck, keep begging.
Ek Tha Tiger?
All who join such missions know very well the consequences. Every job has its risks.
How can we treat these people who gave up everything for country this badly, wtf. They should get land, houses, pensions, healthcare, education for their children. I can't believe we give ex-ministers all this crap, but not spies who put themselves at such great risk.
Your method of speaking is akin to an elocution competition held in schools and colleges. It doesn’t suit this type of lecture. Change your method
Kulbhushan jadhav is our real Hero and should be rescued by surgical strike in present times
Last time India tried and humiliated on 27 Feb i don't think so they will ever dare to do this
@@owaiszahid9208 if 90000 paki prisoners of war can be released by india in 1971 then why not kulbhushan can be rescued now
@@karama709 then atleast accept that jadav was spy not businessman because so far India is in denial secondly Pakistan and India is not at state of war hence he is POW
@@owaiszahid9208 international court of justice at Hague will decide it,at least provide consular access to this businessman the ex navy commander jadhav
@@karama709 Pakistan already provided cinsuler access even his family wife and mother met him in Pakistan
You speak as if you’re reading out a book. Not a fan of that
if they knew of their will they serve?
🙏
