Sensitive information relayed by him from beyond the borders eventually earned him the title ‘Black Tiger’, a term coined by then prime minister Indira Gandhi in recognition of his valuable contributions during the aftermath of the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971. Ravindra, who began his association with India’s foreign intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) when he was only 23 years old, went on to become a Major in the Pakistani Army.
These words of anguish were penned by late Ravindra Kaushik, arguably the country’s most prominent undercover spy, in a letter to his family from Central Jail Mianwali jail in Punjab, Pakistan, where he spent a majority of the last 16 years of his life.
“ K ya Bharat jaise bade desh ke liye qurbani dene waalon ko yahi milta hai?” (Is this what lies in store for people who sacrifice their lives for a big country like India?)
