Rediff Exclusive! Chat with former R&AW chief A S Dulat

July 08, 2015 11:05

Rarely has a political book made waves as has former R&AW chief Amarjit Singh Dulat's memoir, Kashmir: The Vajpayee Years. Co-authored by journalist Aditya Sinha, the book is packed with revelations on the disastrous Agra Summit of 2001, the Rubaiya Sayeed kidnapping of 1989, the release of terrorists in exchange for passengers aboard the hijacked IC-814 in 1999, the relationship and contrast between Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L K Advani... the list is endless.

In a career in intelligence-gathering spanning over three decades, Dulat rose to the very top as special director of the Intelligence Bureau (India's internal intelligence agency) as well as the Research & Analysis Wing (India's external intelligence agency), before becoming advisor in the Prime Minister's Office, occupying the ringside for a spectacular view of events as they unfolded.

Discuss A S Dulat's stunning revelations with the man himself, on the Rediff Chat on July 8, at 11.30 am IST. Here's where you chat.
