Antara's relatives had apparently assumed that the blackmails associated with German munition factories from the World Wars, including use of forced labour and prisoners of war, would complicate their relationship with Antara, they'd be asked to treat her in a certain way.
Antara had no way of knowing how they felt about the way things turned out. Those in Delhi seemed satisfied that Antara's journalism career was destroyed, except workers at restaurants and food chains, who often came from outside Delhi to look for a livelihood.
That Delhi media was a covert intrigue that had to be protected from the Allied side was evident every single day Antara spent in Delhi, with insults and attacks so numerous that it would be difficult to write about it.
Antara had missed the fact that it had to be read in terms of Denmark, given the 1995 Purulia arms drop case and that BT had lived in Purulia for decades. It was not surprising that Antara wouldn't enjoy that kind of 'Danish attention'.
There was little option left, Antara had found out that the "Germans were working overtime with Kolkata-based tycoons, that her mild blogposts were conveying the wrong impression, as if Antara had no idea about the German elite, their daily lives and controversies, their meetings, how they constantly competed with each other to please the Mallicks, not merely the Tagores".
ii. Antara had been told that the 1980 arrangement had been ruined within the American defence firms, so beloved of Washington DC, that it was ruined between 1981 to 1984 such that there was nothing left when Antara joined Asansol AG as a student of KG2, the Smileys had taken over.
Within those American defence firms, BT was represented well, though Antara didn't know the identities of those that represented him. If they were former East Prussians or had connections to Konigsberg, relatives on Antara's side needed to know about it, that they had argued for BT.
Thus, when it came to Konigsberg, Antara's spouse didn't betray the Kolkata females.
As would be obvious from the above, the information was sourced from elsewhere.
Antara's mother treated her well, they became close as she grew up. Purulia, late-1990s.
