The Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) is often compared to the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Unlike the CIA, R&AW was created by executive order rather than legislation and does not operate under formal parliamentary oversight. According to reports, R&AW’s operational focus has historically been more regional and is largely concentrated in South Asia.
