<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Noor, spy princess, was the daughter of Hazrat Inayat Khan who introduced Sufism to the West family descendants of Tipu Sultan.

She started working for the women's auxiliary British force as a radio operator and then later joined the Special Operations Forces.

Recently, at a small monument in her house near Paris, Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee paid tribute to this remarkable woman.

Known as Nora Baker to some and Madeline to others, Noor specialised in dropping agents behind enemy lines. She died at the age of 29 executed by the gestapo.
