Bharater Mahila Guptachar by Amrita Konar [Hardcover]

India’s Women Spies! History has forgotten them. And yet— No matter how tightly the shackles of tradition were bound to their feet, no matter how rigid the chains of rules tied their hands, the women of our country never stopped. More accurately, they could not be stopped. If one truly explores the history of espionage, women’s contributions are no less significant. Despite countless obstacles, they moved forward in service of the nation. But it is our misfortune that we do not know the names of many of them. We do not know of their sacrifices or contributions. There is no way to recover all those names. Even so, some researchers have unearthed these forgotten gems from the graveyards of history. This book highlights a few of those extraordinary women. Through this book, at the very least, we will remember them, learn about them, and pay our respects. They are the daughters of our soil. They are our heroines.
