In an action packed contemporary thriller, destinies of maverick Indian Prime Minister Durga Vadera and former star of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Brigadier Syed Ali intertwine. To create a leadership vacuum in India Chinese intelligence seeks the ouster of maverick Prime Minister Durga Vadera. Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) assistance in kidnapping and holding her three adopted sons to ransom is requisitioned. ISI Director General Qaisar Rahman ropes in Brigadier Syed Ali, earlier hounded out of the service by CIA pressure for his Jihadist connections as a quid pro quo for continued US arms flow to the Pakistan military. Syed Ali's previous track record of terrorizing Delhi and assassinating the Indian PM followed shortly by almost the entire cabinet of ministers makes him a natural choice. Syed Ali is pulled out of a romantic tryst on an island by the ISI and undergoes cosmetic surgery in Abu Dhabi to change his appearance to operate freely within India. He also ropes in an Indian widow Jamila as a companion to create a credible Indian entity for himself.Syed Ali hires a gang that kidnaps the three boys when they are outside the confines of their boarding school. As a security precaution the boys have a GPS each embedded in their boots. Syed Ali's gang is tracked by satellite and in a daring rescue the hostages Amir, Tony and Dilip freed by Major Sunil Kumar and Major Sahil Butalia. This act prompts Durga's sons to later join the defense services .After the failed kidnap attempt Syed Ali's backup plan kills a former minister during a morning walk. Face Book smears alleging Durga having a colleague killed and financial impropriety, force her resignation to permit an impartial inquiry. Out of office Durga's teenage sons prompt her to marry long term lover Ravi Rathore. After her wedding Durga leverages Ravi's entrepreneurial skills. She focuses on empowering women and improving productivity in rural areas. Her success causes her political party the BJP to convince her to re-enter public life by contesting an election she wins.Xi's master stroke to gain freedom of action in Asia for China and establish a petro Yuan kicks in. A false flag Islamic State strike crashes the US obsolete power grid nation-wide and threatens a dollar collapse. The US is meanwhile rendered a mute spectator in the geo-political power play to follow.Syed Ali indoctrinates four Indian girls on line in IS ideology. The girls detonate canisters of Cesium-137 powder or 'dirty bombs' near the Indian Parliament . A panic driven exodus from Delhi results led by members of parliament. Durga Vadera is meanwhile cleared of all charges and swiftly reinstated as Prime Minister. She takes a series of proactive measures to stem the rot. She directs focus on the common China Pakistan weakness in the One Belt One Road (OBOR) project by targeting Gwadar Port at the end of the line. In quick succession a giant Chinese oil tanker 'Shanghai' is targeted in the Indian Ocean and a million dollar crawler crane for building breakwaters driven forcibly into the sea at gun point.Chinese banks opened specifically to be supportive of OBOR and work closely with Pakistan state run banks are hit by malware including viruses, worms, Trojans, ransom ware and spyware, losing hundreds of millions of dollars .Part of the skimmed cash is funneled into bank accounts of relatives of China's Politburo Standing Committee. This information is released to the world media.As part of a spine chilling dénouement a last ditch attempt is made by Syed Ali to assassinate Durga using a drone while she addresses a rally in Kashmir with Ravi by her side. Elsewhere two of Durga's sons Amir and Dilip battle the PLA armor thrust to Leh in the freezing wastes of Ladakh at 15000 feet and her third son Tony targets a Pakistan naval submarine fitted out for nuclear tipped missiles.Syed Ali's fate remains intricately linked to the woman he has tried to assassinate.
