Bollywood Movie 'Dhurandhar' Part 2 Released, Real-Life Spy Story Inspires Plot The Bollywood film Dhurandhar Part 2 has been officially released, continuing the saga of a fictional spy thriller. However, the movie’s narrative draws inspiration from the extraordinary real-life story of Ravi Kumar, a former theater artist who became one of India’s most covert intelligence agents during the 1970s and 1980s. His life, marked by sacrifice and secrecy, has since become a symbol of patriotism and resilience. Ravi Kumar, born in 1952, was initially a theater performer in India. His talent for acting and his ability to blend into diverse environments caught the attention of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), India’s external intelligence agency. In 1972, he was recruited under the codename Black Tiger, a rare honor bestowed by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. This designation signified his role as a high-value operative operating in Pakistan, where he worked to gather critical intelligence for India. Kumar’s mission involved infiltrating Pakistan’s military and intelligence networks. He trained extensively with RAW, mastering espionage techniques and adopting a cover identity as a Pakistani army clerk. His work included intercepting military plans, tracking troop movements, and providing warnings that helped India avoid several potential attacks. His contributions were instrumental in saving countless lives, though his actions remained shrouded in secrecy for decades. In 1983, Kumar’s identity was compromised when another RAW agent, Inayat Masih, was captured by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Under brutal interrogation, Masih revealed Kumar’s true identity, leading to his arrest. Kumar was subjected to prolonged and inhumane torture in Pakistani jails.#research_and_analysis_wing #ravi_kumar #indira_gandhi #inter_services_intelligence #dhurandhar_part_2
