Is this sullah revenge for Nupur Sharma episode ?


Hence though tempted, I am not reading any of the books written on RAW. It will be depressing to know about Babu's fktardery and how they compromise natsec for selfish reasons. Take Kundankulam nuke plant, or Sterlite copper plant closure or now the Kerala port protest by xtian thugs. RAW has failed in these cases or not allowed to function purposely by local Babu's for sure
Amar Bhushan fictionalizes his work but I 100% believe it is real missions. His account of the Rabinder Singh episode goes along with the publicly known facts very well, but it is all presented as fiction (probably to escape the OSA hammer.)
But it is not all blackpilled- his book on spying in Bangladesh and Nepal will make youe chest swell with pride on how deeply RAW has infiltrated both nations, and how we ran circles around Bangladesh intelligence.
MK Dhar has the classic Babu weakness of 'only I was smart, rest everyone was dumb/corrupt/lazy',, but if you can look beyond it, he goes into great detail on how he spied on North East terror groups, and how deep he was involved in Rajiv Gandhi government's negotiations with Punjab militants. That book will show you how certain figures in INC had a huge interest in actually making Khalistan problem worse and worse, and succeeded in doing so.

Heard some musings that CRPF will be deployed in Vizhinjam Port premises since State police failed to do their work.

Also, NIA landed there few days back to do some job.
What is actually needed is a PFI like crackdown on church xtian NGO nexus trying to subvert our country . Until then you are just addressing the symptoms and not the cause

Another matter of utter disgrace and national shame that this case has not yet been squashed , Namo neither frees innocent nor jails the corrupt...status quo and sabka saath....

Not necessarily RAW related, but still related
Am not sure how credible this site is either

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs Email servers were hacked and data leaked

The Ministry of External Affairs(MEA) of India is in news for becoming a target of a cyber attack that led to the data breach and now data sale. According to an update released to the press, the email servers of MEA were targeted by a sophistication driven cyber attack leading to access of information by hackers.

A hacker who is extremely active on the dark web claims to own the data siphoned from the email server of the foreign affairs ministry. The cyber crook has now put the info on sale that includes email ids and passwords of at least 15 bureaucrats and a BJP Minister who gets updates direct from the intelligence wing.

Cybersecurity Insiders have gained knowledge that the data is being sold for Rs 6 lakhs to 22 lakhs- appx 2 million and cyber criminals from nations like China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan are showing a lot of interest in purchasing the info.

The attack occurred when the Indian government was said to receive a detailed report on last year’s cyber attack on AIIMS servers that embarrassed Prime Minister Shri Narender Modi’s government to a large extent in an international arena.

North Korea’s Lazarus Group is suspected to be behind the incident, though an official conformation is awaited!

NOTE- On January 24th,2023, the US Law enforcement agency FBI announced that the $100m hack of June last year, where criminals siphoned around $100m Ethereum, was conducted by the Lazarus Gang and they claim to have enough evidence to prove that the gang was behind the heist after it laundered the stolen funds from January 13th of this year that came to the notice of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Lazarus used RAILGUN, a new protocol, to obscure its transactions with the victim and even tried their level best to swap the stolen crypto from about 11 Ethereum addresses with Bitcoins.

Can anyone provide TLDR summary?
among other things..

- mumbai attacks in 90's and 2008 was a systemic failure.
- intel was sent to PMO/NSA before kargil that enemy troop movements had increased 9X, yet RAW was made the fallguy in kargil review committee report.
- morarji ruined intel capabilities during his time
- ISI and RAW operate very differently, RAW being purely civilian intel gathering agency
- RAW only gathers intel and recommendations if required and sends it up the chain, it's up the PMO and NSA to act on it.
- he was vague on "crying wolf" scenario,
