The Secrets Of RAW, India's Secret Agency

In the mid-1960s, RAW set up two covert groups, Counterintelligence Team-X (CIT-X) and Counterintelligence Team-J (CIT-J). CIT-X as it was setup for operations inside Pakistan while CIT-J was for operation at Khalistani groups. These were a shadow cell within RAW. The existence of CIT-X was first revealed in former RAW official B. Raman’s 2007 book ‘The kaoboys of R&AW.’ 

What emerges from the accounts of former spies is that Indian intelligence agencies employed two types of operatives; Spies and wreckers. CIT-X was headed by an additional secretary but kept away from RAW’s Pakistan desk. The ‘X-men” reported directly to the agency chief even as they infiltrated trained wreckers across the border into Pakistan cities to plant explosives. “Low-grade bombs, no plastic explosives,” according to a former RAW official. They were used to “just to raise the cost of Pakistan’s covert war against India” i.e. to put an end to the ISI's interference in Punjab.

CIT-X was revived by Indira Gandhi in 1968 with the setup of RAW and continued later by Rajiv Gandhi in the early 1980’s when Pakistan spread-out the flames of Khalistani insurgency in Punjab. CIT-X operatives were used in retribution strikes inside Pakistan. 

Spies were recruited by RAW talent spotters who spread-out through border villages looking for physically fit, educated, unemployed youth willing to undertake risky missions. These low-level operatives were used for missions considered too risky for serving intelligence officials.

Hundreds of youngsters were recruited through safe houses situated along border towns by recruiting agents from RAW who operated using fake names. The rented safe houses were frequently changed. There were entire villages that worked in intelligence gathering, including one in Punjab.

Spies were trained for more than a year in spy craft: mastering Urdu, reading maps and visually measuring distances. Recruits were given fake names, identities and Pakistani ID cards. Agents who stayed for long underwent circumcision (surgical removal of the foreskin of males). Spies were thought Urdu and how to say their daily Islamic prayers to blend into the crowd. The recruits knew the consequences of capture: torture, interrogation and solitary confinement.

Sawhney a former spy runs an Ex-Sleuths Association in Jammu Bakshi Nagar; set up in 1992 it has 60 members on its rolls. Over the years, Sawhney has painstakingly tracked down hundreds of burned agents like him scattered across the border districts of three states, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan—their bodies scarred from being strung to ceiling hooks in prisons, knees and ankles hammered with cobber’s nails, genitals numbed by electric shocks.

Though the existence of CIT-X has seen many ups and down’s with every new PM from its revive and shutting down. Existence of CIT-X at present is not known because in 1997 with I.K. Gujral as PM, CIT-X was shut down and after that to in 1998 Atal Bihari Vajpayee also rejected demand from RAW to revive CIT-X.

UFO sightings by Army personals in Ladakh

After UFO sightings and news of underground base in Kongka La pass (read story here). Another news of of UFO sighting has been reported; but this time by non other than ITBP personnel's there self. 

According to India Today, Units of the Indian Army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) have reported Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir. An ITBP unit based in Thakung, close to the Pangong Tso Lake, reported over 100 sightings of luminous objects between August 1 and October 15 last year. In reports sent to their Delhi headquarters in September last year, and to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), they described sighting "Unidentified Luminous Objects" at day and by night. The yellowish spheres appear to lift off from the horizon on the Chinese side and slowly traverse the sky for three to five hours before disappearing. These were not unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS), drones or even low earth-orbiting satellites, say Army officials who have studied the hazy photographs taken by ITBP.

Drone sightings are verified and logged separately. Such mysterious lights have been sighted before in Ladakh, a barren, 86,000 sq km heavily militarised zone wedged between Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and Chinese-occupied Aksai Chin. The persistent sightings by the ITBP, however, worried the Army's Leh-based 14 Corps.

In September 2012, the Army moved a mobile ground-based radar unit and a spectrum analyser-that picks up frequencies emitted from any object-to a mountaintop near the 160-km-long, ribbon-shaped Pangong Lake that lies between India and China. The radar could not detect the object that was being tracked visually, in dicating it was non-metallic. The spectrum analyser could not detect any signals being emitted from them. The Army also flew a reconnaissance drone in the direction of the floating object, but it proved a futile exercise. The drone reached its maximum altitude but lost sight of the floating object.

In late September, a team of astronomers from the Indian Astronomical Observatory at Hanle, 150 km south of the lake, studied the airborne phenomena for three days. The team spotted the flying objects, Army officials say, but could not conclusively establish what they were. They did, however, say that the objects were "non celestial" and ruled out meteors and planets.

"Something is clearly wrong, if our combined scientific resources can't explain the phenomena," says a senior Army official in Delhi.In 2010, the IAF probed and dismissed Army sightings of such luminous objects as Chinese lanterns. UFO sightings have been endemic to Ladakh over the past decade. In late 2003, 14 Corps sent a detailed report on sightings of luminous objects to Army headquarters.

There is still no explanation, however, for what is believed to be the clearest UFO sighting yet, in the Lahaul-Spiti region of Himachal Pradesh less than 100 km south of Ladakh in 2004.

UPDTAE: Defence Minister A.K. Antony has dismissed any proof of UFOs on India-China                           border.

An Underground UFO Base At Indo-China Border?

Kongka La is the low ridge pass in the Himalayas (the blue oval in the map). It is in the disputed India-China border area in Ladakh. The Chinese held northeastern part is known as Aksai Chin and Indian South West is known as Ladakh. This was where Indian and Chinese army fought major war in 1962. The area is one of the least accessed area in the world and by agreement the two countries do not patrol that part of the border. According to many tourists, Buddhist monks and the local people of Ladakh, Indian Army and Chinese Military maintain the line of control. But there is something much more serious happening in this area.

According to the few locals people on the Indian and Chinese side, this is where the UFOs are seen coming out of the ground, According to many, the UFO underground bases are in this region and both the Indian and Chinese Government know this very well.

Recently, some Hindu pilgrims on their way to Mount Kailash from the Western pass came across strange lights in the sky. The local guides while in the Chinese territory told them that this was nothing new and is a normal phenomenon from Kongka Pass area the tensed border between India and China. This strange lighted triangular silent crafts show up from underground and moves almost vertically up. Some of the adventurous pilgrims wanted to look into the site. They were first turned by the Chinese guard posts as they were refused entry from the Chinese side and then when they tried to approach the site from Indian side, the Indian border patrol also turned them down in spite of their permit to travel between the two countries.

The pilgrims when asked the Indian border petrol personnel. According to them, the security personnel told them that they are ordered not to allow any one near the area of interest and it is true that strange objects come out from under the ground with amplified and modulated lights. India’s Special Forces and possible visit the area by intelligence agencies.

According to the locals extra-terrestrial presence is well known and is in deep into the ground. They believe neither the Indian nor Chinese Governments want to expose the fact for some reason. When they bring up this matter to local Governments, they are told to keep quiet. This is the region where the Euresian plate and the Indian plate have created convergent plate boundaries. Thus this is one of the very few areas in the world where the depth of the crust twice as much as in other places.
