History seems to be
repeating itself in the corridors of power in New Delhi. Three decades back, as
Rajiv Gandhi was trying to usher in a new paradigm of governance based on his
massive parliamentary majority, several spy cases rocked the Central
Secretariat. Now, the Naya Daur regime of Narendra Modi, the first
leader after Rajiv Gandhi to enjoy a clear mandate in Parliament, has come
under the cloud of spying. In 1985, the spying was triggered by foreign
interests and mainly centred around the Defence Ministry. Now, in the aftermath
of the 1991 reforms, the spying is no longer of global ramifications alone, it
has a ‘Make in India’ tag—corporate entities are trying to gain a competitive
edge by ferreting out sensitive information.
