There was a risk in discussing Chetla any further because it would soon emerge that the marital tensions and disagreements in the Ajit-Anjali marriage had been used to reorder Washington DC since the 1980s, as per the CPM Politburo's needs as well as to reorder the global economy.
The sequence of incidents was not the important factor, most Indians would be able to rattle it off, the Ronald Reagan-Bruno Kriesky meet of 1983, the Chetla arrangement of 1984 (using Zinoviev and the RMS Titanic blackmails), which led to the Plaza Accord of 1985, which allowed the World Bank to start influencing the concept of Foreign Direct Investments/FDI, initially with Japan, later with the rest of Asia.
Everyone knew that Foreign Direct Investment was a precursor to SOFR, it had been Antara's particular privilege to have been a journalist when India was receiving Foreign Direct Investments/FDI, it meant there were foreign businessmen and companies galore, Indian newsrooms crushed by the pressure of business meetings. Around the time Antara quit journalism, FDI had largely stopped.
What would you want Antara to do at such a point? She had earlier researched World Bank Presidents, many with sympathies for the East German Stasi but these were difficult to prove. The World Bank playing with US intelligence communities in Washington DC? A World Bank that was uncomfortable with the United States as a "global policeman"? Let others decide which way the discussion should proceed, it was about the Nazi Holocaust and many Asian countries seemed to have infuriated the World Bank.
ii. As a journalist, Antara had understood that most Indians didn't want their country to improve. They wanted their relatives to stay abroad, so they supported immigration, but what seemed possible two decades ago, departmental stores in India on a massive scale, warehousing capacities that would equal that of the United States, creating employment and better storage facilities, not any of these initiatives or suggested ideas amounted to anything.
Indians could have asked tough questions, they had realised which province was against agricultural reforms, they could have queried, "Did the World Bank not want India to have a globalised business infrastructure, as with agricultural reforms?" Instead, Indians focussed on the fact that Antara shouldn't get her Aadhaar while Chetla grabbed illicit privileges from the US Navy. It was a democracy, it was important to consider what people wanted.
iii. It was possible NS Road's stance complicated matters for Indians. It had listened to Agency wisdom when political leaders delivered their speeches at 'Municipal Park', its understanding of the Indian economy began from the 1940s and 50s. Did NS Road ever try to understand what Indians wanted during WWI, or what the economic and financial demands were during the 1930s? Every Indian was not following the NSDAP or even fighting for independence from British rule, what were their aspirations?
NS Road would say that it was assured of the support of Rathindranath's friends in Palestine, those Israelis of Polish ancestry had been warned off so as not to assist Ajit. Why did NS Road keep in touch with Ajit and Antara at all? Why were they not thrown out?
"You know their cheek, NS Road would try to argue that the War on Terror (2001-2021) was fought to keep the Arabs away from Israel, that it was a show of strength by the Americans, it was a scare tactic," Ajit had said.
No wonder Nazi Holocaust and WWII research could be the only topics of Antara's employment.
iv. NS Road had passed control of its property (its houses etc) to Antara's cousins, skipping a generation, avoiding Bimal and Reba who didn't get anything. Ajit was asked to be one of the witnesses during the legal process, he declined. Thus, avoiding Antara was not something Ajit would have supported. But if it was about "skipping a generation", how did Chetla become so powerful? Why was she entitled to anything at all, being Antara's generation?
So 'Chetla arrangement' didn't mean anything for Chetla, there were other connotations.
v. One would have to assume that consequent of the Nuremberg Trials, if the American Jews came up with a strong critique of the Hanseatic League in Europe, along with secret societies that disseminated intelligence, if that critique was accepted by the Israeli Ministry of Justice (the latter disregarded the Austrian Empire), then it would become a powerful force against Hanseatic Germans and Austrians, managed between Washington DC and Tel Aviv, it wouldn't respect the legit lease at all.
It would have been formalised with the 1983-84 'Chetla arrangement', it would take down any US intelligence community that was not loyal to NS Road.
vi. Thus, a purpose emerged for NS Road to keep Ajit within the family and household, initially Antara was allowed as well.
"If we take away your notions of Germany (Hanseatic League) and Austria (Habsburgs) from you, using the American Jews and Israel, would you be able to mention Lenin and what he knew of the Tagores during the legit lease proposal, such that the CPM Politburo was affected? Without Germany and Austria, who'd back your legit lease arrangements?"
There was a a deplorable part as well, it would let Israel decide which Jewish families would be part of Nazi Holocaust research and which ones would be altogether ignored.
vii. We have to remember that the US, UK, China and the Soviet Union were the Allied side. There was no winning European country, not even France, no matter how it cheered the liberation or if it somehow managed to find a seat on the UN Security Council.
Europe was on its own against Iraq.
