RAW
playerIntelligence & Surveillance · Nations & Geopolitics
India's spy agency is shifting toward Mossad-style hit operations on foreign soil.
Who they are
RAW, the Research and Analysis Wing, India's external intelligence agency.
What they do
It's moving toward a more aggressive, proactive posture under what's called the Doval doctrine.
How it works
The Nijjar and Pannun plots show a new willingness to use state power beyond India's borders, putting it structurally alongside Israel's Unit 8200, Russia's FSB, and China's MSS.
Why it matters
It signals a more assertive India willing to act abroad the way other major powers' intelligence services do.
The engine's record — word for word
Research and Analysis Wing. Indias external intelligence agency. Undergoing transformation to Mossad-like proactive posture under Doval doctrine. Nijjar and Pannun plots indicate willingness to exercise state power extraterritorially. Structural parallel: 8200 (Israel), FSB (Russia), MSS (China).
