The Birth of Pakistan’s ISI A Spy Agency Like No Other The year is 1947. The Indian subcontinent is on fire. The land is split as the British lower their Union Jack for the last time. Pakistan emerges as an independent nation, but with independence comes chaos. Blood spills across the borders, cities burn, and intelligence networks disintegrate overnight.

The army and politicians scramble to establish control, but there is one glaring weakness: Pakistan has no centralized intelligence agency.
