Pieced together from real-life events and untold stories from classified files, ‘The Chabimaster’ is the author’s tribute to those unknown faces who ensure the safety of every individual of this country. When the brilliant strategist Ravi, joint director of RAW, realises that cross-border skirmishes are just a method of keeping the nation engaged, he begins to trace and track a series of seemingly unrelated events. What he unearths sets him on the edge.

This book brings the spotlight on the decisive role that the defence forces played in winning freedom for the country. Taking the period between 1903 and 1947 into account, it delves into how Ghadar Party’s attempts to tamper with the British Indian army and “sedition” during the two World Wars gave anxious moments to the imperialist forces. Even as the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements were leaving their mark, those in the defence forces were playing their part.
