For some people, age is just a number. One such person is Ajit kumar doval, former Indian intelligence and law enforcement officer and current National security Adviser (NSA) to Prime minister Narendra Modi. He is 71 years old but still very active and enthusiastic in national security matters, this claim can be backed with the fact that he can be seen almost always with PM modi in his foreign visits. Since Mr. Doval is a spy so not a lot is known about him, but here my motive is just to highlight some of his unique achievements and qualities. So here we go:
1. This man is considered as one of the greatest spies or arguably the greatest spy India have.
2. Lt. General J.F.R. Jacob (war hero of 1971), once said that Ajit Doval is the bravest man he has ever met.
3. He graduated with a master's degree in economics from the University of Agra obtaining first position.

6. Doval was awarded with one of the highest Gallantry awards, Kirti Chakra. He is first police officer to recieve a medal previously given only as a military honor not for the uniformed services.
7. Doval was one of the three negotiators who negotiated the release of passengers with the hijackers of Indian Airlines flight IC-814 in Kandhar in 1999.
8. Uniquely, Doval has the experience of being involved the termination of all 15 hijackings of Indian Airlines aircraft from 1971–1999.

12. Doval also played a key role in merging Sikkim state with India.
13. During operation Black Thunder, Doval was inside the Golden temple. He masqueraded as a pakistani agent and met the khalistani militants. He is said to be the man behind the success of this operation and the rescue of Romanian diplomat Liviu Radu who was kidnapped by sikh militants.
14. He was posted in the Indian High Commission in London, UK as a minister.
15. He was the director of Vivekananda International Foundation, a think-tank with centre-right learnings. Doval is also Known to keep his opinion against pakistan very vocal.
