Indian Intelligence

Thanks to a "lurker" for signposting this odd report on US-Indian cooperation to stop fighters from The Maldives, including a FAA-certified pilot, transiting India en route to ISIS:http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/c...w/51933993.cms

A long article by Praveen Swami, on a serious mishap over an Indian agent based in Iran being abducted to Pakistan and now faces execution. He starts with:

The implications of the questions raised by the Kulbhushan Jadhav case go far beyond Jadhav’s fate. It is time India reflects seriously on its expanding programme of covert action and its long-term consequences.

Lots of snippets, especially on the absence of trade craft; I only quote one:

Thirteen Indians are being held in Pakistan on espionage charges, and 30 Pakistanis are in Indian jails, but in not a single case has either country officially concerned itself with its agent’s fate.

There are two reviews of a new book on the Indian-Pakistani intelligence relationship and wider issues on the Pakistani Military thread. See:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...777#post211777

A puzzling article from an Indian newspaper: Rabinder Singh, spy who defected to US, is no more: Double agent lived his last years as a remorseful recluse. Just whether officialdom has encouraged this is a moot point. It certainly would discourage anyone else choosing that option. CIA "tradecraft" failures appear too (as they do in another post today).

This national investigative body is a mainly manned by the police and is one of the Indian intelligence agencies IIRC, handling CT investigations. This report sadly is an illustration how complex and mind-boggling India can be.
