India's Spy Shift

India's espionage architecture is quietly shifting. The appointment of Parag Jain as the new chief of RAW comes at a particularly volatile moment globally. Iran has just executed alleged Mossad assets and detained hundreds, reportedly triggering emergency backchannel coordination by several countries, including India. A few Indian students caught in the crossfire in Mashhad were hastily repatriated. It was a sharp reminder that secret wars don't stay in the shadows for long.

Jain's arrival at the top of RAW isn't just a routine succession. He represents a deeper recalibration. Known for his pivotal role in Operation Sindoor, Jain brings a rare blend of human intelligence and intelligence fluency, said to have enabled India's pinpoint strikes on terror hubs across the border.
