As part of the investigation into the 1957 lease in favour of NS Road, it had emerged
i. That there was a holding company for the 1957 lease, based in Chennai,
ii. That the code word used for it was "American children" (why Antara didn't understand the lectures on American morality and children that she'd been hearing for the last decade),
iii. That US Air Force wives were part of the holding company, since they opposed the 1790 and subsequent leases as well as the US Govt,
iv. That USAF wives were supposed to guide Indian men towards accepting the 1957 lease in favour of NS Road.
Antara didn't know how to intervene in the matter, but USAF wives would have to let go of her spouse, also an Indian man. Antara was legally wedded and she couldn't have her spouse's loyalty to be directed towards wives of American fighter pilots.
It was deplorable behaviour, to try and appropriate Antara's spouse for NS Road's 1957 lease and use Chetla to inflame tempers at home.
