Calling Sehmat by Harinder Sikka







I recommend first reading the book and then watching the movie. The book is much better than the film. The film adaptation of the book "Raazi" is excellent.

The plot is fantastic, and it is also inspiring because it is based on an actual event about a young lady who takes enormous risks for her nation.

Sehmat's parents, Tej and Hidayat Khan, had a love story that begins the plot. Tej travels to Kashmir and meets Hidayat, who captivates him. The action then resumes up when Sehmat is in college and highly talented. Hidayat has contacts in Pakistan due to his trading relationships, and he provides vital intelligence to Indian Intelligence. In 1971, as tensions between India and Pakistan rose, he fell gravely ill. The situation in East Pakistan is bleak and troubling for Pakistan, and the country is eager to undertake a pre-emptive strike against India. Hidayat concludes that he has no choice except to appoint Sehmat in his stead.

Sehmat must give up her feelings for Abhinav to marry Iqbal, the son of a powerful official in Pakistan's armed forces. She encounters a variety of tense circumstances yet emerges as an invaluable source of intelligence for India.

Compared to the movie, the book provides additional context for Sehmat's college life, love life, hopes, and what occurs after she completes her task. After completing the book, the film "Raazi" won't add much.
