How long had eastern India prepared for an Operation Epsom-related blackmail against the Treasury? At least since the 1970s, it would seem.
Why didn't the Jamshedpur honchos immediately approach the Treasury, back in the 1970s, saying Ajit should not be provided lease-related details? Because they knew they were wrong, they were trying to achieve something illicit, they would have to involve the Palace?
But the worst of all instincts, they tried to involve the ordinary people of eastern India, so that it seemed a mass movement against the Treasury, not the aspirations of a provincial and inept steel town in India.
Mr Summers was not the Treasury. What if someone else from within the US Govt decided to survey the educational standards of eastern India, stricken with poverty and lack of education, and found out it was impossible that they would willingly want to attack the Treasury?
Would the Palace with its Holocaust past and Jamshedpur honchos be able to convince the US Govt that they had popular support within India?
And if Jamshedpur indeed had support from the Indian STEM crowd, why didn't it say so? Because there were risks of failure and the Indian BTechs and MBAs would want the Treasury but without any risk involved?
For the last four years, Antara had repeatedly been told that there was no reason for any instability episode in India but for Jamshedpur. Antara had tried every means at her disposal, written and argued, but as a Bengali short story writer had written decades ago, after a visit to Mumbai, "Tremendous derision, like I'm a Bug", implying Jews of the Pale.
Antara would rather not say more, except in her life, Jamshedpur has reached crisis proportions. Her relatives, under Tata Football Academy, were unlikely to be better off.
