Noor Anayat Khan

Noor Anayat Khan

This is the story of a young Indian Muslim woman who joined a secret organisation dedicated to acts of sabotage, subversion and terrorism across Europe. A fierce critic of British imperialism, she worked with passion and audacity to damage and disrupt the forces of law and order. Captured, she proved impenitent and uncontrollable. She died a horrific death in custody. And now, perhaps, is the right time to revisit the life of Princess Noor-un-nisa Inayat Khan, George Cross, Croix de Guerre with gold star, MBE: the British secret agent who was kicked into a "bloody mess" on the stone floors of Dachau concentration camp through the night of 13 September 1944, and then shot with the word "Liberte" on her lips. Hers, after all, is a remarkable chapter in the history of Muslims in Britain and the West.

Khan Anayat Noor

I read the story on the link and wow what a life. Beautiful, intelligent, and brave. Hollywood writers could not have come up with a stronger woman. From pacifist to resistance fighter; from French speaking music student to English spy. It's hard to believe people like that really existed.
