      Before posting in Pakistan, Ravindra Kaushik went through rigorous training for the period of two years, which involves learing Urdhu, getting acquainted with the Quran and other Islamic religious texts. He also learned the topograph of Pakistan. In 1974, he was sent to Pakistan where he went on to complete his LLB from Karachi University. He gained a new identity of Nabi ahmed Shakir. Leter he joined the Pakistani army and then became a commissioned officer. Soon, he was promoted to the rank of  a major. During this period, Ravinder Kaushik fell in love with a local girl Amanat  and married her.

             


               

           During the time span of 1979 to 1983 , he passed on important information to India without getting caught. 1983 when a new agent named Inyat Masiha went to visit Kaushik but was caught by Pakistani officials. During his interrogation, he revealed the secret identify of Kaushik. The black tiger was arrested & sentenced to death. He spent 18 yeaqrs in the Pakistani cell and died in captivity.

   “ Kya Bharat jaise bade deshon ke liye kurbani dene walon ko yahi milta hai ? “ – Ravindra Kaushik

    “ Is  this what people who secrifie  their lives for a big country like India get ? “ – Ravindra Kaushik

                      




     While alive, Ravindra Kaushik often sneaked several letters to his family in India. He also talked about the trauma he suffered. Since, 1987 being 18 years in prison, Kaushik received no help from his motherland & died on Pakistan Soil. It was the November 2001 when Black Tiger died during Pulmonary Tuberculosis and heart attack. Kaushik died in the new central Multan jail in Pakistan.

        After hearing the news of death, Kaushik’s father dies of shock & heart attack soon followed by his mother Amladevi. His younger brother holds the Indian government accountable for their death. There is no story about his wife after his captivity.

      He must have too celebrated his death and died proudly and honored. His sacrifice too remained unknow and unacknowledged.
