Any mention of daily work schedule and an almost immediate, hostile reaction.
Remember, if an adult worked 10-12 hours a day, there was nothing unusual about it. It meant the anxieties were elsewhere, what if Antara managed to communicate to the world how serious her work was, how endless individuals and institutions across the world were engaged with it?
Not Chetla this time but Chinsurah, she was ready. Even back at Brabourne, any mention of Antara's skill-set and tutored answers would spring forth from her.
Chinsurah etc were suburban areas in Bengal that were erstwhile French colonies, not British. That's where the anxieties lay, in Paris, not in the Indian political scene, hence the reaction.
No London-based PR firm embarked on this kind of action against the Treasury without meticulous planning and elaborate arrangements. As with everything emanating from Paris, it would have to involve endless relatives of Antara (Purulia for the better intrigues against the Balkans), some Russian component and arrange it all against the American tycoons, the Carnegies and the Rockefellers.
For best results, Paris would find out who Morgan and Lenin relied on to keep the lease family in India, realise that particular family was being taken to the US as a Russian emigre family after the Bolshevik Revolution, decide on a gradual spread of Communism across the world, often accepting setbacks as well as in Europe of 1989, create the most durable Communist stronghold in Bengal, allow both BT and his son to accept the patronage of that Russian emigre family and sell that entire storehouse of lease family secrets to Putin the moment he became Russian President in 2000.
Wanted to join the autocratic club? Apply to Paris for the narrative around a Jewish violinist from Vilna, and you might get lucky.
Some of the information from Paris on the Vilna violinist was with media offices in Delhi-NCR, some with JLF litfest sorts. Hence Chinsurah's constant interest in the media, hence the freedom Indian citizens enjoyed to grind Antara's life any which way.
The Vilna violinist died in 1987. There were no further roadblocks to the London-based PR firm.
The US intelligence community officials were supposed to sit and watch while Paris took apart their country. Antara would advise them to get to work, there was a world to save.
