What would the situation seem to those who didn't live in the US? That an interest group within the Treasury was screaming that Antara was a non-STEM professional while the US Congress, that had always looked down upon Indian STEM as an envious group, was not defending Antara enough?
No one would believe that the US Congress was yet to recover from the aftermath of the Jan 6, 2021 rioting. The offenders had been pardoned en masse, rumours emerged from European sources that too many Indian girls had direct involvement, there was no way but to pardon even those with life sentences.
So what was holding back the US Congress from exposing the Treasury's real agenda?
ii. To begin with, the US Congress could provide enough evidence that once BT's House was given away in 1985, the Treasury had never been its own master. Around forty years of following an Indian agenda (no, an Indian elite agenda) clothed in Caucasian garb.
The US Congress was capable of varied and interesting explanations, how it controlled the world. It might say that the heterogeneity of the Indian military was a complicated problem, as we recently found out.
Antara herself represented a heterogeneous historical past.
As it happened, Indian wives were deliberately forcing the above two into contradictory stances. Thereby, a terrible crisis was unfolding in India. For that, the schools of Kolkata have to take much of the blame, along with Asansol AG Church.
Next, the US Congress might say that if SS Ray (Manu-da of Bengal politics) decided to send a Batanagar female relative to Ahmedabad for 'higher studies' on 'management' when the Gujarat riots were raging in early 2002, then it obviously implied DC management. Thus Washington DC came to a standstill in 2002, because of Ahmedabad and Batanagar. Only the Treasury presumed that DC was in working mode over the last two decades.
iii. But if the US Congress had to argue with the Treasury at all, it would ask, "Why was Antara left by herself in Parsi-controlled India?" Not the Tagores, not even Larry Summers but the Parsis? It seemed like an elaborate, academic plan hatched from within Jadavpur University before and after 9/11.
You were the Treasury, your intelligence responsibilities kept the US involved in the War on Terror for two decades. How did you portion out the country of India, what did you promise to each group that they showed such bestiality towards Antara?
Who would tell the Indians that not one of the Treasury aspirations sold to them were either true or achievable? The NRIs? There was no knowing who they met in DC or who hired them, no one apart from CPUSA would vouch for them. You wanted to meet Party officials, why didn't you meet them in Kolkata?
iv. Of late, Bengali Communist men have been threatening that if powerful Indians started taking an interest in NATO's leaked military communications, that would be the end of Antara's allusions work.
Similarly, if non-Communists started taking an interest in the Sept 1959 assassination of SWRD Bandaranaike, Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, two months before the Clutter murders in Kansas, there might not be Economics departments at western universities, the professors would have fled so quickly.
Antara was a decent, polite person. After a decade of excruciating torture, she was still a pleasant writer.
