The Bengali term biswasghatak literally means 'traitor'. After the end of the Second World War, a scientist, Klaus Fuchs, supplied confidential information to the USSR on his own efforts by averting the ever alert eyes of the USA Government. In the history of mankind this is supposed to be the biggest treason in terms of economic evaluation.[2]
