Had the terrorist attack been confined to Pulwama and the martyrdom of the Indian CRPF, there was no point for me to pen this novel Surgical Strike. But when the political flames began to swallow the nation and its social fabric to exploit the situation, it was obvious for the protagonist Aajivak Babu to be involved in surgical strikes on different fronts. He collides with the culture of becoming a large gathering turned into robots, sheep, mindless crowd, a product ‘For Sale’ with their remote controls in the hands of unbridled radical forces to hostage the constitutional institutions where media play as an auctioned players of ‘Indian Media Premier league’, then what bitter experience the Indian society and the nation pass through, ‘Surgical Strike’ mirrors it all as lifeline of the novel.

Mary Lederer provides a valuable critical/historical survey of the genesis and development of the English novel in Botswana.

A propulsive, high-stakes debut thriller where one extraordinary operator holds the key to saving the world from Armageddon. All he needs to do is stay alive. Buried deep in the US defense and special forces architecture is an elite, ultra-black unit, created expressly to prevent weapons of mass destruction from falling into the hands of terrorists and rogue regimes. Their covert, surgical strikes eliminate grave threats so the rest of America can sleep without fear. Until now. After returning from a successful operation in Pakistan, the entire team is assassinated within forty-eight hours. Only their leader, Michael Garin, survives. As the sole survivor and chief suspect of the attack, Garin finds himself on the run from Iranian intelligence operatives bent on tracking and killing him. Even Garin’s own government appears to have turned against him, sending a lethal sniper from the vaunted Delta Force to eliminate the threat they think he’s become. With enemies coming at him from every direction, Garin’s fight for survival becomes part of a larger conspiracy unfolding on the world’s stage: a catastrophic attack—precipitated by escalating tensions in the Middle East—that will shift the balance of power and plunge the United States of America into oblivion.

The Indian Army completed careful negative marks against dread launchpads on and along the Line of Control (LoC). The careful strikes were completed almost 10 days after the Uri dread assault where 18 warriors were killed when four psychological oppressors propelled a torrent of projectiles at the Army's 12 Brigade central station in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir. Reviewing the evening of October 28-29 when Special Forces of the Indian Army completed the careful strikes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said three years back on this day he didn't rest the entire night and was trusting that his telephone will ring. Tending to BJP laborers minutes in the wake of coming back from his outing to the US on Saturday night, PM Narendra Modi stated, "That day denoted the triumph of India's bold troopers who did careful strike and made the nation glad."
