Calling Sehmat – movie based novel ( RAAZI )

  • How was Sehmat Khan alone able to influence the course of the Indo – Pakistan war of 1971? Is patriotism still in the hearts of people. The answer to this question is given in the book Calling Sehmat itself. Still people keep their country or watan on the first priority.
  • The book Calling Sehmat is written by Harinder Sikka. This book is not a history lesson but a lesson to learn in life. People still sacrifice their LIFE for the sake of the country and the safety of the country. It is a true story about a girl called Sehmat who was studying in Delhi and became an Indian spy who can be solely responsible to save India from losing the Indo – Pak war of 1971.
  • Sehmat was the only child born to Tej and Hidayat. She was born to a muslim father and hindu mother and hence she was very secular because she had seen two people practicing different religions and still living in peace under the same roof. The young Sehmat agrees to marries a officer of Pakistan army even if she loves someone else. She gathers information about Pakistan while living in her in laws house and maintaining a healthy married life. Sehmat eventually founds about the sinking of india’s pride that is INS Vikrant.
  • The story gives us the ray of hope that there are still people who stake their life for the country. It also showcasts the bravery of the Kashmiri people.  I would like to give this book a rating of 9.5/10. I would recommend this book to all those who truly believe in patriotism. It is a mixture of thiller , suspense and mystery. The plot of the book is set in an amazing way
