Operation Jai Mata Di: A 'Terror Tale' With A Perfect Twist

BOOK REVIEW: "The weapons recovery team has reported fifteen crates of small calibre weapons missing from the army truck hit by the landslide at Pir Panjal," a message that sends a shiver down the spine of director general of Border Security Force.

While Pratik Shah's Operation Jai Mata Di may seem to be a run-of-the-mill plot where terrorists take innocent people hostage, it is because of books like these that inspire the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover'.

In this nail biter of a book, over 10,000 pilgrims are en route to the holy shrine of Vaishno Devi, a religious tourist destination in the troubled state of Jammu & Kashmir, when they're taken hostage but no terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack because here the so-called 'terrorists' are different both in terms of nationality and their mission.
