The Real Life 'Sehmat' Died Last Month And An Exhibition Might Throw Some Light On India's Spy

Sehmat was an iron lady who went deep into the enemy territory and helped India get Intel on the Pakistan Navy on the peak of the 1971 war with Pakistan. The recently released movie Raazi is a take on her life and shows how she sacrificed her life for the nation, doing things she didn't ever imagine she would have to do. Harinder Sikka, the author of Calling Sehmat, while talking to Quint has now promised to reveal the real identity of Sehmat, in an exhibition he says that will reveal how beautiful she was. “After she passed away last month, I kept pestering her son, 'Look, you are her son. People must know what your mother did.' I've been able to break some ground. I have some (material), but he has a phenomenal collection. If this (exhibition) happens, the world will know that Sehmat, the spy, was a lady who looked so beautiful! We are planning something big in June,” Harinder told The Quint. The unknown story of Sehmat was finally brought to the silver screen through Alia Bhatt's Raazi which is based on Harinder's book titled 'Calling Sehmat'. The story, as Harinder remember's, is one of courage and how many spies go on to live their lives after they are done with their mission. “We teach our children, 'You must get an 'A'.' Our system is such that we need something in return. A spy breaks that system. You are trained, but you are left to fend for yourself. That's the job. The nation can't be embarrassed if you are caught. You are disowned. She (Sehmat) had given up everything. When she came back, she was hugely depressed. Just read these words of poetry she wrote during her stay in Pakistan: 'I am captured by the whims and fancies of others/And my soul wishes to fly free!' “She was not happy with what she was doing. The world must know that a spy is not happy when he or she is killing. Her son was kind of disconnected most of the time. He spent his time in the services and thereafter he quit early. I have not seen much of a mother-son relationship between them,” Harinder explained further. While we may never be able to see Sehmat in real life, an exhibition now being planned by her son and Harinder might give some insight into the real iron lady of the Indian Spy program.
