An Indian Spy in Pakistan Quotes
- The entire nation was shackled in chains and dancing to the lashes of martial law. Since its very birth and through its childhood and youth the nation had been ravaged by the martial law fiends whose claws were dripping with the blood of the innocent people. Sometime it was Liaquat Ali and then Iskander Mirza and Ayub. Only the faces changed. But the iron grip of the military hands round the peoples neck never relaxed. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- Many great men have known prison life. Either their practical lives began in a prison or ended in it. A prison is no less than a university, where one learns so many secrets of life. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- Sometimes goodness is its own reward. A sinner has no peace of mind. He resorts to liquor and sleeping pills to fall asleep but his own mind becomes his worst enemy. Goodness, on the other hand works like perfume on one’s mind. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- They are such terrible fanatics in Pakistan. What to talk of the illiterates, even the educated here scoff at rational thinking. The mullah have such stranglehold over us that we cannot budge an inch from where we are asked to stand. We cannot contemplate any change in our religion, although according to the present times, it requires radical changes. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- Mysterious are the ways of Allah. You never know when the tide turns in your favour and washes you ashore. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- Ours is a filthy country. Not fit to live in. The very foundations of our old religion have been shaken. There is no peace of mind. Like hungry dogs we hanker after wine, women and wealth. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- One who is already down is free from the fear of being blotted out of existence. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- In the case of many great men we find the faces of their wives peeping from behind their own faces. Innumerable writers, poets, artists, scholars and leaders reached the acme of their glory only through the inspiration of their wives; if their wives were not in the background they would perhaps lose their lustre. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- It is truly said that even God cannot delve into a man’s fate and a woman’s mind. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- Every ruler and every mullah of Pakistan raises the cry of the Indian wolf being on the rampage against Pakistan. This helps the rulers and the powers that be to skim off the cream for themselves. That is why every ruler of Pakistan talks less about national reconstruction and more about the regeneration of Islam. Though living in the twentieth century, the rulers would like to keep the people in – the sixteenth century. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- In the name of patriotism we are playing with the lives of thousands of young men. Some of them are lured into this hazardous profession of spying for lack of employment and get nothing out of it. All they get is the enemy’s bullet as soon as they cross the border. Those who escape the bullet have to face unending torture and indescribable humiliation in the enemy’s jail. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
- I am grateful to my country which saved me from the jaws of death and gave me a new lease of life. The truth is that I have not done any favour to my country. I have only done my duty by it. – Quote from An Indian Spy in Pakistan book by Mohanlal Bhaskar
