How the decisions are made by our Intelligence, be it IB or RAW. They are based not on merits but on political leverage. Sometimes PM or HM uses it to their own advantage other times intelligence uses them. Intelligence agencies are deviod of accountability and hence go astray. They should be made accountable to parliament.
Just read Open Secrets: India's Intelligence Unveiled written by Maloy Krishna Dhar (Former Joint Director, Intelligence Bureau, India)Published by MANAS publications.
A Solder's Diary: KARGIL; The Inside Story by Harinder Baweja. ... " It was an intelligence failure of Himalayan proportion and lot of brave men paid for the lapse with their lives. P 163-64
Our gallent solders fought against all odds and won despite heavy casaulties not because of war but due to utter failure of our intelligence and utterly poor planning by top brass.
One must read both books the one by MK Dhar gives you detailed insight from 1965-1995 as to how IB works and how it blunders.
Kargil story is rich tribute to our fallen solders if we recognise their courage and a big heart for our nation.
