SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – THE PROBLEM OF ESPIONAGE

SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – THE PROBLEM OF ESPIONAGE:

Special Frontier Force-The Problem of Espionage: The Chinese military philosopher in a military treatise known as PING-FA(The Art of War) written c. 400 BC mentions the use of secret agents and the importance of good intelligence.

Special Frontier Force-The Problem of Espionage: Establishment No. 22 or Special Frontier Force represents a military alliance/pact between the United States, India, and Tibet to confront the military threat posed by the Communist Red Dragon’s occupation of Tibet since 1950. It is no surprise that at Special Frontier Force we have constantly experienced the problem of espionage orchestrated by the People’s Republic of China.

To obtain knowledge of enemy’s intentions intelligence systems have been in use from ancient times. The concept of intelligence is not new. The military treatise “PING-FA”(The Art of War) written c. 400 BC by the Chinese philosopher Sun-tzu mentions the use of secret agents and the importance of good intelligence. The intelligence service of People’s Republic of China is known as Social Affairs Department.The term espionage describes the process of obtaining information using spies, secret agents, and involves the use of illegal monitoring devices. At Establishment No. 22 or Special Frontier Force the evidence for espionage conducted by the People’s Republic of China is revealed by the photo images obtained by China’s spies and secret agents. After investigation, the Department of Security of Central Tibetan Administration had dismissed from Service its top military leader/Political Leader/Dapon Radug( or Ratuk) Ngawang during 1976. Another Senior Political Leader Jamba Kalden had voluntarily retired from Service during 1977 after admitting that he had failed to stop or prevent the acts of espionage. It is very interesting to mention that Dapon Ratuk Ngawang had actually escorted His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on his way to India after the failed National Uprising Day( March 10, 1959 ) in Lhasa, Tibet. Ratuk Ngawang, is currently 85-years old, is not formally charged for any crime or illegal activity by the Government of India or Tibetan Government-in-Exile. After his retirement, he was permitted to live in India in the Capital City of New Delhi and he draws a modest amount of pension for the years he spent in Service. I had worked with him at Establishment No. 22/Special Frontier Force from September 1971 to December 1974 and I am fully convinced that he had voluntarily supported espionage activity at my military organization.

Special Frontier Force – The Problem of Espionage: Chinese Intelligence correctly guessed that the 14th Dalai Lama had escaped from Lhasa to seek asylum in India after the failed Day of National Uprising in Tibet. Peking(Beijing) had announced that the 14th Dalai Lama had arrived in India, a day before New Delhi could make a formal announcement. The Chinese intelligence always remained ahead of the United States, India, and Tibet.

Special Frontier Force – The Problem of Espionage: 54 years ago, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama had arrived in India on March 31, 1959. A Guard of Honor was presented by the Assam Rifles after he crossed into India’s North East Frontier Agency(Arunachal Pradesh) at Chutangmu/Khenzimani in TAWANG sector. The Chinese intelligence pursued him constantly monitoring his movements and activities all these years.

Special Frontier Force-The Problem of Espionage: Dapon/Political Leader Radug Ngawang had served at Establishment No. 22 or Special Frontier Force after arriving in India along with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. The Tibetan Government-in-Exile had simply dismissed him from Service and had spared him from punitive retaliatory action even after knowing that he had harbored Communist spy or spies. His Holiness had treated him with mercy and compassion in due recognition of his past performance before falling prey to Chinese influence.

Special Frontier Force-The Problem of Espionage: This is the photo image of Ratuk or Radug Ngawang at 84-years of age. While giving interviews to Indian news media and other writers, Ngawang had shared photo images that were illegally taken at Establishment No. 22 or Special Frontier Force where such photography is strictly forbidden. I have no hesitation to identify him as a Communist Agent who had supported espionage activity.

The term ‘intelligence’ is used to describe government operations that involve evaluation of information concerning the strength, activities, and probable course of action of its opponents. Espionage involves gathering of ‘intelligence’ information which is further used in evaluation to design a political, or a military course of action to deter the enemy. Radug Ngawang had exposed his participation in espionage by releasing the following photo images that were taken at Establishment No. 22/Special Frontier Force during 1971-1972 prior to his dismissal from Service in 1976. He clearly understands that the possession of these images is illegal and he is fully aware of the fact that the people shown in the images had no clue that they were being secretly photographed.
