COULD THE RMS TITANIC VICTIMS EVER MEET?

How did NRIs feel about the ongoing conflict in the Indian subcontinent? What kind of people were the NRIs, were they peaceniks, were they warmongers?

One thing was for certain: if resident Indians no longer had the right to share RMS Titanic information, and more importantly, if Antara had no right at all to settle abroad, close to her actual hometown, then a certain group of like-minded people would never meet.

What would have happened had they met? The descendants of the victims of the RMS Titanic disaster had all suffered endless persecution over the decades, they were quite defeated in mind and body, there was hardly any possibility they'd raise a war cry and attack the NRIs.

However, had the Titanic victims done so, were the NRIs averse to such a conflict? Did they want to avoid RMS Titanic-related arguments at all costs? It seemed that despite being neighbours and colleagues, the NRIs were yet to 'own' the American narrative.

Of course, another way of looking at these unfolding events was that 1912-1914 didn't show the NRIs in a good way. They wanted to prevent gatherings that discussed those two years. Better keep using the White House and pressure the Treasury to discuss 1912-1914, an official version was always spare with details.

THE YEARS 1912-14

ii. It was not that Antara would have had a clearer idea of 1912-1914 had she managed to reach Washington DC. It was likely prohibited by the US Govt to discuss the events of those years, which meant bringing it up without a context would attract a penalty. 

If 1912-1914 was discussed at all, it would be in the Freemasonry context, or the initial episodes of WWI and the Olympic-class liners' blackmail.

No one went to war over Freemasonry in 2025, therefore those that gamboled around with the Olympic-class liners' blackmail in the New Delhi diplomatic circuit, evoking the RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, had already raised the heat of war. The diplomatic event, involving Turkey, took place in February 2024.

We might be proud of our interceptors but we couldn't ignore our provocateurs.  After all, we had an award system for the NRIs, what if those that had organised the Turkey diplomatic event on the Olympic class liners' blackmail won an award from the Indian govt in the coming years? What if the award winner's Titanic-related information was based in Baluchistan?

WHAT COMPRISED EDUCATION SANS 1912-14?

iii. Antara's education, chosen only by her and then submitted to her parents for their approval, was thereby in line with the legit lease. 

The history of the Indian nation where she lived, its detailed geography, its agriculture and industry, its economy and human geography, and its system of government.

Once Antara understood where she stayed, she studied about its professionals, the engineers and scientists, the physicians and the military, who would need a sovereign country to function and serve society. 

Why would Antara need to design a rocket? Did Indian professionals go for their daily work on spaceships?

TREASURY WAS A LATER ENTRANT

iv. When Communist influence descended on the Treasury, Antara, as usual, would be left alone. Everyone was suddenly too busy or too successful to care for her. It was misplaced priorities, Indian women concluded at times of crisis that Buckingham Palace was the only source of stability in the world.

Oh, Antara didn't know how many times she had been with friends who would walk into a sweet shop (in Kolkata) and have a bowl of yoghurt, just to please the Palace. The source of the global problems was also the solution?

These were the years 2000, 2001, 2002. The personality of Prince Dwarkanath Tagore was taking on proportions Antara had never seen in her life, with Moscow competing for importance with Dwarkanath.

General Ulysses S Grant may have banished Jews from Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky but he also visited Calcutta, probably looking for answers. And even if all foreign intelligence had been suspended across the world in the years spanning the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny and the American Civil War, the Hanseatic League and their Indian allies always kept their shops open.
