About this listen

Was Nandlal Kapur a traitor or a patriot?

A true story, like no other.

1920s India. Flames of revolt against colonial rule had engulfed the country, making the British tense.

They knew domestic spies were essential to track and quell the calls for independence. Nandlal Kapur, like many young Indian men, was recruited as a spy. But, while the pay was good and the life adventurous, Nandlal restless and uneasy, his love for his country at constant odds with his new reality.

As he travelled through India on various missions, and met revolutionaries from all walks of life demanding freedom from oppression, he grew determined to attack the beast from within and do his bit for his country—become a double agent.

The Silk Route Spy is a riveting account of an extraordinary life, and brings to life a trying era in our country's history and gives us a glimpse of the risks taken and sacrifices made by those who freed India, in their own small ways.
