The Special Operations Executive

Noor was asked if Indian leaders decide to embarrass Britain, whose side would she be on? She said that and they didn't like it. So I told them that as long as the war was going on, I would serve Britain, but after. Noor left the meeting embarrassed. The last thing she needed was to give the board an excuse to turn her away. Weeks passed. Then out of the blue, she was asked to attend a meeting in London. On November 10, 1942, she knocked on the door of room 238 of the Hotel Victoria. It had been taken over by the War Department to serve as the headquarters for a new and experimental intelligence agency.
