The #1 Indian bestseller now available to Kindle readers worldwideWhen it was published in paperback in India in 2005, Open Secrets became an instant sensation. It became the #1 Non-Fiction bestseller, a position it held for many months and generated a firestorm of controversy. There were court cases, death threats against the author, intense debates in the media and a change in India's Official Secrets Act after the issues raised in the book caused uproar in Parliament. All of this is in hindsight not surprising as Open Secrets was the first of its kind- the first time a retired Indian Intelligence Bureau Officer penned his memoirs- detailing his thirty-year career and offering unprecedented insights into some of the pivotal moments of Indian history and a peek into the political machinations that underly them. More than an expose, Open Secrets was a heartfelt plea for more transparency and accountability in India's security and intelligence apparatus- to free them to serve and protect the people of India, and not just their political masters. That debate has special resonance today in the light of the growing popular movement demanding more transparency and less corruption in Indian public life. Open Secrets is regarded as a seminal work for its fearless exposure of the Indian political system and its insightful detailing of the course of modern Indian history's turning points.ABOUT THE AUTHORMaloy Krishna Dhar began life as a journalist and a teacher, but ended up spending more than thirty years as an officer in India's Intelligence Bureau, retiring as its Joint Director.

Ghost Wars of Tepantar

MISSION: PAKISTAN is not just another spy thriller. Written by someone with over three decades of experience in counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism, it offers unprecedented insights into this shadowy world as it relates to the Indian subcontinent. At the same time, it is the story of tender and cruel social and geopolitical values that have been woven around the life and times of an Indian intelligence agent. Based loosely on real historical events and people, Mission: Pakistan takes the reader back to the tumultuous decade from the mid sixties to the early seventies, when India and Pakistan fought two wars within six years. Mission: Pakistan brings to focus not only the nature of this largely unseen intelligence war that takes place in the shadows but also the impact the underlying fault lines and internal security gangrene have on those affected.
