The arrest of the Indian diplomat Ms Madhuri Gupta on charges of spying for Pakistan is a serious development. It shows that there is something seriously wrong with Indias external Intelligence agency RAW( Research and Analysis Wing). RAW was depicted by the local and Indian media as a formidable intelligence agency that is behind major events in South Asia. Some analysts went to the extend of claiming that RAW became the Mother of All Agencies, due to strategic ties with CIA and Mossad. However, Guptas case and other similar cases show that there is inherent weakness in the rusted RAW. It also shows that there is no substance in shifting the blame on Pakistani agencies in matters pertaining to the failure of RAW and other Indian agencies to stop some very serious terrorist operations against India.
RAWs recent failure is similar to the CIA failure in stopping massive terrorist campaign against the United States in 9/11. The failure of CIA and other US intelligence agencies was so comprehensive that many analysts and thinkers advocated an inside job in planning or at least executing 9/11.
Earlier, Indian intelligence agencies were clueless about Kargil operation that caught the Indian army in total surprise. Similarly RAW could not penetrate the Indian separatist movements. It extensively relied on blaming Pakistan to cover up the mess inside RAW.
According to the Indian media, RAW and sensitive Indian institutions were penetrated by foreign spies. In 2006, the Delhi Police arrested SS Paul, a computer systems operator at the National Security Council(NSC). Later investigation showed that SS Paul passed on NSC documents to Rosanna Minchew, a CIA operative working under cover as a Third Secretary at the United States Embassy in New Delhi.
In 2004, the RAW was devastated by the defection of Rabinder Singh to the United States. Sigh was a senior officer who had handled very sensitive covert operations. The CIA recruited him following reports indicating decoding cipher traffic generated by the US mission in Islamabad. Nobody knows as to why RAW found it important to spy on US Embassy in Pakistan even as Washington and New Delhi are strategic partners. In fact the so-called trust- deficit between RAW and CIA is a characteristic of the Indian intelligence in dealing with all member states of SAARC.
Lack of professionalism within RAW suppressed the role of Hindutva in 26/11 who perpetrated Babri Mosque, Godhra Train fire, Gujrat Massacre, killing of Christians, Malegoan bombing, Samjhuta Express and many other operations against minorities.
Unfortunately RAW continues to engage in disinformation campaigns, espionage and sabotage against Pakistan and other neighbouring countries. On the other hand the RAW failed in dealing with separatist movements in Manipur and Tripura in the northeast, Tamil Nadu in the south and Punjab and Kashmir in the northwestern part of the country.
RAW is in a state of decline due to poor service conditions and promotion prospects. It is finding immense difficulties including problems retaining new recruits.
Other problems that RAW face include badly needed specialists, trouble drawing talents and in-house cadre lack. RAW is chronically suffering from vision deficit in facing emerging problems.
