Remember the Villains too along with the heroes. You should have mentioned Morarji Desai's crippling of RAW during 1977-79. His decisions set RAW back by atleast a decade in the matter of retaining old sources and developing new ones.
One famous and highly rated officer who worked closely with Shri R.N.Kao duting the 1971 war with Pak namely Sri Sankaran Nair, IP has been surprisingly missed out .He went on to become the chief of the RAW during the Janata Party regime headed by Sri Morarji Desai , only to resign later when the stature of the post was lowered to that of Director.
Not many know but my Grand Father was one of the greatest civil servants and intelligence officers the country has ever produced he is none other than MV Narayan Rao . DGP of Andhra Pradesh State.
And by the way if you also had some ounce of respect you would not have commented on my reply to the post ,so please keep your view to yourself , Thankyou.
.Where is Make In India???..India- China trade 136 billions dollars last year 2022 and trade deficit was 118 billions dollars. It means India lost 118 billions dollars last year....British slaves Indians and nations trust too much American propaganda with fake news all the times against China , North Korea and Russia now so India will never be a super power in future....Mao did not kill any people.. KMT and American puppet leaders killed millions of innocent people so Mao and CCP liberated mainland China from American puppets leaders like Chiang Kai Shek etc...
You forgot B. Raman despite his books and articles all being out there and accessible. R&AW's greatest triumph in the 1965 war has been clearly documented there -- warts and all.
Similar to how Punjabis have always been a integral part or Indian military, Malayalis have always been an integral part of Indian intelligence community since its inception. Malayalis are highly adaptable and you'll find them everywhere in the world.
After the 71 war, Indira Gandhi had a team of people who planned and executed the plan of 71 and the Shimla talks too, the team of people were 5 kashmiri pandit including kao , dogra king Karan Singh was not included in these discussions and group and to this day he says that Indira Gandhi in Shimla talks gave too much to Pak on the recommendation of that group of her advisers. KPs were powerful, Rahul Gandhi similarly has KP ancestry.

Sir, as much as we like history, we would like to hear futuristic views from Senior Journalists like you. Who cares what blunders Nehru & his ilk did. It is known enough and only Netaji Subash Bose's secret papers need to be known in public domain. Sri. Doval will go in Indian history as the best Intelligence officer India ever had. Sri PV Narasimha Rao has done so many wonderful things, besides saving the INdian economy, which includes wiping out terrorism in Punjab. May be he would have solved J&K problem, if he had a second term. Thank you for your insights.
Kudos to them n both organizations RAW Nn IB.We must also factor in the indisputable fact that our national Int agencies could not forsee/ provide timely strategic inputs on number of occasions - Chinese build up in Dok lam,Ladakh nor Kargil, 62 and 65 wars or even the Pulwama tragedy or Pathankot air base attack .In addition the Maoist naxal failures n growth of number of sleeper cells as also the attack on Parliament or Hotel Taj.Overall they seem to hv been unsuccessful. Let's hope they ginger up for in Future but knowing their systemic faults ,Indian public may expect a constant repeat of past fiascos. Col Manjit
Did you notice how most names mentioned in this video are Malayalis (Narayanan, Pillai and Menon) or from Kerala cadre (Doval)? Similar to how Punjabis have always been a integral part of Indian military, Malayalis have always been an integral part of Indian intelligence community since its inception. It's not just Shivshankar Menon or MK Narayanan. RAW and IB are full of Malayalis. I think it's because Malayalis are very migrant population who are everywhere across the world. Malayalis are multilingual and owing to so many migrations, they are highly adaptable to different places and cultures which are traits valued in intelligence community.
@@MayankSingh-ou5gv Malayalis are a big part of Indian navy since Kochi is Indian Navy's main node but Mallus used to be pretty dominant in the early days of Indian Air Force too. There was recurrent joke in Air Force in the 70s that it should be renamed "India Nair Force" because IAF had so many people named Nair. Malayali contribution to Indian defense is massive but very infrequently mentioned.
most of them are upper caste Hindus Malyali who are more like North Indians. Even South Indians accuse Brahmins to be North Indian or Aryan. So I don't understand Are South Indian accepting upper caste Hindus Now or Are only interested in boosting their personal profiles and abusing them at other times? These upper caste Hindu men become Malyali, Min of External affairs JaiShankar becomes Tamil but at all other purpose the upper caste men are outsiders.

I bet when someone asks you time, you tell them how a clock works first. Please don’t belabor the points by telling uninvited history and statistics while making such videos. Shorter is better. Also recording outside is not such a great idea, we can hear fifty different types of birds and animals as well as planes landing in Delhi. Quite annoying actually. Please use a noise cancelling microphone if possible. Hope the feedback is not too harsh. 🙂
Valid points. Sometimes I listen to his videos while driving home from work. And a car honk in the background from his video startles me as if someone honked at me 😂 And I live in a country where honking is a rarity !!
It was a dismay for me to learn how lethal was Mr.Ajit Doval and Manohar Parrikar in surgical strikes inly from a foreign channel "History". Why did we fail to make one?
The greatest blow to our intelligence was during the UPA years when the entire intelligence structure was exposed to the ISI as Madam Sonia was deeply obliged OR blackmailed by them as her phenomenal LOOT was passed through their corridor
This is going to be an unusual question but does anyone know where can we find names of presidential award recipients from the intelligence bureau in the 1980s or earlier on any govt site?
I hope the Indian Govt takes good care of the families of spies who go into this covert operations. So that spies can focus 200% and be all in to these operations.
A big salute to Ajit doval sir. Our mps and mlas do nothing but make money fir themselves and their families. They get huge pensions and kickbacks.
