Book Discussion | The Unending Game: A Former RAW Chief’s Insights into Espionage

As a country’s stature and reach grow, so do its intelligence needs. This is especially true for one like India that has ambitions of being a global player even as it remains embattled in its own neighbourhood.The Unending Game tackles these questions while providing a national and international perspective on gathering external intelligence, its relevance in securing and advancing national interests, and why intelligence is the first playground in the game of nations.
Speakers
Vikram Sood, Former Head of R&AW and Advisor, ORF

Adrian Levy, Journalist and Film Maker

Indrani Bagchi, Diplomatic Editor, Times of India

Sushant Sareen, Senior Fellow, ORF

The guy sitting next to Vikram sir is NOT a CIA agent. He's got a heavy British accent, probably an ex MI6. Talking about the book I've seen many low intellect people criticising it because they didn't get "ek tha tiger" type story. Trust me it's a great book if you're looking for pure wisdom and not bs. Great work Mr. Sood. Jai hind

[itspossible]

thanks for huge contribution to keep India integrated Mr. Sood

[sudhirraghubir]

To my clear understanding the gentleman at 2.30 .was asking/alluding to the Intelligence Agencies in India, using the PRIVATE sector...indivisuals, connected and able to deliver results, both long term and short term...simple, straight forward participation.
And VERY handsomely paid, and financially enabled, prior to an 'assignment''/task.
This would be rapid, real game changer..what is also called a Force multiplier, with complete deniability, by the Agency using such pre-vetted and talented Private sector indivisuals.

[aarora]

The third guy is Adrian Levy. He is an author, journalist.

1:08:22 I liked this man's view : "Politically we are immature"

[djsunshine]

The truth about cost is...can we afford ' Not to have have capabilities' ?

[PRIYASUHASCHITNIS]

Rajiv:: 1:08 Intelligence Rivalry?? Does that term even exist?? Bcoz if it is intelligence it wouldn’t be conflict thou it may be a security, social, economic Risks governing rivalry between Nationalities… R and AW is finest to Indian environment… we must not surmise it to west !!! After that time on 29:15 Lady comment wonderfully.. in the year 2024

Telling everything without telling anything

[ramanand]

When introductions and preludes are longer than the actual speech, it becomes intolerably boring.
