For some reason, the Titanic blackmail and the Olympic-class liners' intelligence that the Trump administration had so come to rely on were based out of Balochistan, a Pakistani province.
No, nothing to do with Burgess or Maclean, that blackmail had been sorted out.
This Titanic-Balochistan matter was managed by a lightweight in the financial world, someone called Jim Banks, the junior US Senator from Indiana.
Thus, in November 2024, when Antara had visited Batanagar and had to pay a customary visit to one of the relatives, and there found a stranger whose son was an NRI based in Indiana, Antara should have connected that Bengali man to Jim Banks and to the RMS Titanic.
Was it possible for Antara to do so? The relatives always lived at a Red House, they had clout with the police, was all that Antara knew. To ask her to connect NRI success in Indiana with the Titanic, just because Antara had never heard of Jim Banks?
Applause, middle-class India, applause!! There was simply no depth to which you wouldn't descend to get at ocean liners that sailed a century ago.
ii. By mid-November 2024, when Antara had visited that relative, Donald Trump had already been elected for a second time, despite his extensive criminal record. What was Trump-Jim banks threatening Antara with?
The Bengali man, whose son was an NRI in Indiana, often gave 'missed calls' to Antara's husband, every couple of months or so. He'd then send a text calling the 'missed call' a 'mistake'.
Did it imply that Trump and Jim Banks considered Antara's existence a 'mistake', some kind of an unfinished business from Auschwitz? Which other groups did Trump, Jim Banks and the NRIs consider as 'mistakes'?
iii. Jim Banks, apparently, had oversized influence at the Treasury, not because of his politics, not his service in Afghanistan, but because Walt Disney Studio supported him. So one call from Bob Iger of Disney to the US Treasury, even if filled with banalities, was worth much more to the Treasury than the so-called 'economic intelligence inputs' that Antara provided, which might prevent the next 9/11 attacks against the US.
The Ambanis thrived on these Disney-Treasury chitchats, so did all of Antara's relatives, both the in-laws and those on her side.
As long as Antara was getting insulted, they had no other priorities.
iv. Jim Banks became a politician, member of the Indiana Senate, before he joined the US Navy at 31 years of age. Thereby, we know there was no age bar to joining the US Navy, which meant the US Navy had treated the War on Terror (Afghanistan and Iraq) as a World War, men between 18 to 45 could be drafted as the need arose.
Notice the silence in the American media, they didn't know that the War on Terror was officially a World War? It would make Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas and India-Pakistan World War 4.
What was that, intelligence failure? Who was to blame, BT, Ajit or the legit lease heir?
v. By the time Jim Banks took leave of absence to serve in Afghanistan, he was 37 years old. If you considered the legit lease heir a 'mistake', which intelligence desk handled that deployment? HT and the Birlas? Or was it Swarajya, where Antara was working when Jim Banks went to fight the war?
What did the deployment of such an elderly gentleman imply? That the legit lease should be enabled as late as possible, so that the NRIs left nothing within the US to be recovered?
Remember, the regular American loved the NRIs, they were neighbours, colleagues, posed for photos. What did the NRIs provide the Americans that the legit lease was unable to provide from the 1790s? Why was it so difficult in the US till 1981 before the hordes started coming in?
vi. Jim Banks studied at a theological seminary but like that police chap from the TV show 'Lewis', he decided to join politics instead of the Church. Okay, now we were getting somewhere, the famed IPS cadre from Kolkata, those that "fell asleep on other people's sofas" as Antara had heard so often in Kolkata.
The Kolkata IPS and Swiss bankers and SOFR, oh the grandeur of it, tall and smart and suave and educated and brave and near-militaristic and riding horses, if adjectives would kill, Antara would be dead by now.
Not a chance, rest of the world, nopes.
vii. Jim Banks was also in real estate and construction so there went Antara's last efforts to repair relations with the Great Sibling. Farewell, adieu, sayonara. Human greed/avarice was one thing but to be deported into enemy territory, it was so awful to be around Antara?
