An Indian Spy in Pakistan is a chilling autobiography of an Indian caught in Pakistan for espionage. I cannot imagine someone who is ready to undertake such a risky career like going undercover in a very hostile country with the intention of leaking their official secrets. Initially I was disappointed as the book have just a few pages describing his operations in Pakistan and most of it is the account after his capture. But later I realised that he has done the right thing as such a disclosure may have several adverse effects.
The book is a scathing review of Pakistan's systematic shortcomings, but it repeatedly stresses that the common people are as good and kind as people from anywhere on earth. Though despised, tortured and ridiculed widely as an enemy spy, he finds kindness from totally unexpected corners. His narration of the historical developments of Pakistan through his and other insider's eyes makes the account more delectable.
