Hello, I would also like to join RAW. I have lived in Middle East 18 years, usa 5 years and canada 10 years. I have applied for Canadian citizenship in April. Please go on my Facebook forMore info as to why I want to join RAW. I know canada and India are currently fighting with each other and they are using the international students as pawns in their war. (Modi rejects meeting Trudeau, deport 2 members of aap on arrival etc.) I know there is a fight right now and csis is beating me up all the time, I want to help India against these terrible racists ps they may have planted a camera in my room
INDIAN RAW IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD. IT HAS PEOPLE INSIDE AMERICA ALL OVER DC. INDIAN RAW HAS SUCCESSFULLY PENETRATED ALL ASPECTS OF US GOVERNMENT, SECURITY, AND POLITICAL WINGS. IT HAS TOTAL COMMAND OVER THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. INDIA CAN SHUT DOWN THE US IN SECONDS. THE AMERICANS ARE NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS FLOODING ADVERSARIAL COUNTRIES LIKE INDIAN RAW. PAKISTAN IS NEVER THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF RAW. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE AND THREAT IS INDIA AND CHINA. PAKISTAN KEEPS THE INDIAN MUSLIMS DIVIDED AND BENEFITS THE HINDU MAJORITY. RAW COVERTLY HELPS PAKISTAN GOVERNMENT MAINTAIN CONTROL OVER ITS POPULATION AND KEEP THE MUSLIMS DIVIDED IN TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. PAKISTAN WAS NEVER THE TARGET OF FSB/KGB TRAINED RAW. THE SECRET PACT IS TO CONTROL THE WEST AND THE BIGGEST POWERFUL COUNTRY, THE USA. INDIA WILL SUCCESSFUL IN REMOVING THE SHAME OF WESTERN COLONIALISM.
Why not make the RAW an annex of the CIA !!! It seems to me that we have to be ourselves. It is because we copy, often badly, what is done elsewhere that we have services that are not operational. At the end of independence, on many points we preferred to replace the former colonizing power. We did not want to overhaul the institutions – in terms of police, intelligence, elite training etc … Today we see the result of this policy. If after more than 70 years of independence, we are not able to draw the consequences of our mistakes, it is because we have lost faith in ourselves!
You have to give something to get something back. You give to plant something and nurture it till the time it starts bearing fruit. People who plant cactus simply to get away from the responsibility of nurturing and protection, deserve only thorns and not fruits. Pity the nation that cannot see in spite of a fully functional visual apparatus.
When politicians are not entertaining people above 70, then why can’t RAW look from that angle. They should infuse young talent into the agency under the supervision and guidance of retired staff. Indian is a land of millions of talented people. When this could be recognised and identified by MNC’s then why can’t the agency look from that perspective ? RAW should make some changes in the process of recruitment ensuring the secrecy ay the same time.
Not only RAW but central agencies like CBI, NIA etc should also have there own cadre instead of being a leisure home for civil servants and also for paramilitary forces at the subordinate level.
Rightly said. This was pointed out even almost three-and-a-half decades ago by the then true professional guys in the Cabinet Secretariat in Delhi whom I had known personally. It’s surprising that things haven’t changed even after such a long period. Hope the author’s insights are taken seriously by the authorities concerned and necessary changes ushered in.
U are aware of only one sided stories, how can in such organisation people from Ministerial cadre be sent mission at par with those have given their life to the organisations. Resulting u get Soods as interviews who remained Personnel Secretaries to bigger bosses. Obviously they have soft corner for such . While those rotting in borders with not much facilities and work till the last point. Writing reports is an art and can get manipulated even if collected and collated on basis of ongoing trends. Even today the TRG institute is managed by the lecturers of those retired decade earlier. The new are lacking dedication in securing achievements for the country.
I agree with your opinion about NSG .But the concept of recruiting students like me and many more from universities will benifit the organization in a long run .But you have to ensure that “Every person who is best can be in your organization will be morally and patriotically good ,so my suggestion is that find the children with patriotic ,honest,obedient etc. qualities .Search for their records and find the best because we are the people you can shape into anything .
RAW should follow the Israel’s mossad style. The organisation Mossad who famously and proudly known for intelligence throughout the world. India and israel relation is nice and israel help India too on many important matter. NSG also made on the ideology of mossad too at that time so why not RAW will change itself. Mossad even recruit good painter, scholar, expertise on making fake papers passport even make finest snatcher, kidnapper too. RAW should modify its body like this for the shake of our Motherland.
Our country population grown-up s speed but our intelligence wing aslo increase in same time all types of social elements of our do we needed a large numbers of ? models and we want to recruit also very grateful ide it was to very fast as possible as give to our new next generation
I like recommending suggestions u give. And I would also like to add one more thing to this as the civil service officers are no doubt both Intelligent and great but they don’t fit in the agency outfit as they have other goals and aspirations no person expects few join civil services to join r&aw.,so the real talent is going where?? It’s there in the university itself officers need to go and check the right guy and ask interview him if he is interested and that if he is the right material for the job… Hope my suggestions are helpful. Future civil aspirant here.
Indian intelligence seems to be corrupted by politicians &weak especially in foreign affairs & national safety, especially weak compared to pak terror controlled intelligent agency..lt should be reformed by president with immediate effect considering national safety.
You are wrong. RAW is not corrupted. Because RAW is an independent body to whom most laws of the constitution don’t apply especially right to information act. RAW is not answerable to anyone accept PM, cabinet secretariat and joint intelligence office. RAW is not controlled by any other body or minister or state government. He’ll not even court or union government can say anything to RAW. And how do you know RAW is weak when none of their operations are classified unlike MOSSAD or CIA? RAW is not weak, it is very very strong but it still needs a wide range of deputation from various fields.
India needs good amount of Scientists in the agency. This was even agreed by the former chiefs of RAW. Although we have DRDO for the same, recruitment of scientists don’t seem to be enough. The historic Scientists who we used to have were all Sages and Seers who practiced meditation and yoga. The ones who meditate have strong intuitions and this can really become a great strength of Indians. If agencies of other countries are good at techniques of hypnosis, we Indians can use our power of intuition and positive aura in influencing people around us. It would be great if they include Yoga and meditation training to the candidates along with other physical and mental trainings.
Please recruit by a ” special exam” ..like civils cgl e.t.c., so many talented people are there to serve India and ready serve for our nation in any situations. So if you want to make some change on RAW then you should think about my comment.
Assessment of RA&W and its operationsis itself a difficult task as very little is in public domain. Improvements suggested are more guess work unkess author is having a exposure to intelligence agency of at least a few countries. There lies need for structural review by experts with adequate experience and vision.
CIA is ok. But RAW needs to be deadly like Mossad or KGB.. Any person working against India should be liquidated without a trace. Remember how Israel rescued hijacked plane ,its crew and passengers from Entebe. This type of organisation should be RAW. This is possible only with NDA not with Pakistan and China loving UPA.
I’m proud of RAW in the world. But I like RAW activities in worldwide. I’m interest to work in RAW from international zone. Great thanks.
Raw , dream for many young minds, may be , I’m one of those

Both India and raw will remain backward because that’s what we are good at.
Please give proper information about recruitment of RAW & exams applying for it. & Link too

Khedyakade Chala …….
Looks like Karachi Project Idea. They want to infiltrate RAW also after having infiltrated Media.
My take on RAW:

Let me in on deputation…
U are aware of only one sided stories, how can in such organisation people from Ministerial cadre be sent mission at par with those have given their life to the organisations. Resulting u get Soods as interviews who remained Personnel Secretaries to bigger bosses. Obviously they have soft corner for such . While those rotting in borders with not much facilities and work till the last point. Writing reports is an art and can get manipulated even if collected and collated on basis of ongoing trends.

There is no IAS nor an Indian Forest Service officer in the R&AW. Kindly please check. There are officers from IPS, IRS (IT), IRS (Customs) currently
I like recommending suggestions u give. And I would also like to add one more thing to this as the civil service officers are no doubt both Intelligent and great but they don’t fit in the agency outfit as they have other goals and aspirations no person expects few join civil services to join r&aw.,so the real talent is going where?? It’s there in the university itself officers need to go and check the right guy and ask interview him if he is interested and that if he is the right material for the job… Hope my suggestions are helpful.

Where are you from ?

Yes it is surely right
Raw needs to do more work about
There thoughts
To be like CIA
ACCEPT these words both are
Good at there works
Please recruit by a ” special exam” ..like civils cgl e.t.c., so many talented people are there to serve India and ready serve for our nation in any situations. So if you want to make some change on RAW then you should think about my comment.
RAW is still very raw.
Assessment of RA&W and its operationsis itself a difficult task as very little is in public domain. Improvements suggested are more guess work unkess author is having a exposure to intelligence agency of at least a few countries. There lies need for structural review by experts with adequate experience and vision.

Agree totally.
