I am so so proud to be born as a woman and as a citizen of the same country where Sehmat Khan too belongs from. This is a true story of a girl who fearlessly served her nation and helped India immensely. Being a spy is not all we see in movies like MI series. It means leaving your home, your loved ones and a comfortable life behind. It means carrying a huge burden. It means taking lives and using people around you, all of which might spiral you to a breakdown. Sehmat was a wonderful human being. The unsung hero! The fiercest lady! 

The only drawback of this book is it's writing. But nevertheless thanks to Mr. Sikka we come to know about Sehmat.
