5 Stars – An Unnoticed Dying Declaration
“I am not a Satan turned saint. It is not that I woke up one night and felt the bite of conscience. I have tried to explain that I have been a victim to two quarrelling squirrels inside me. The bread earner mostly defeated the dream merchant. I have suffered and I still suffer from the indignity of carrying out orders, which I would have not done had I continued in my teaching and journalistic profession.”- Maloy Krishna Dhar
An astonishing account of an Indian Intelligence Officer, the book is a detailed confession to the Indian public. The book deals with what an intelligence officer goes through while doing his duties. It is the ‘duty’ itself that tries to define itself between being a tool at the hands of the deep- state and an underlying conscience that keeps kicking to review the author’s deeds. Spying sometimes requires a barter of conscience with personal well-being. The author confesses to the misdeeds he did while he was spying for the country often by spying on the country.’
