Not just madness, Moscow

Many of us thought it was a 'rigged game' (Navy's collusion implied.) Was there any point in trying to fight for humanity or human decency?

Shabbos Goy would bear a considerable amount of responsibility, if you recruit those two Asansol teachers (World Bank-normalista) through the Joint Chiefs around 1993, then you were obligated to Kolkata in a complicated way. Either you'd have to continue cooperating with Kolkata on the lease or resign en masse and replace the defence leadership format with some other arrangement. 

Back at school (Asansol AG), the Class of 1988 had a system of 'fixed ranks' when it came to academics. No matter the class, the year, the exam, the same ranks were held by the same students, without any variation. 

One could not mention their names but it seemed that those in the nuclear industry who wanted Communism without Lenin would emerge victorious, they'd be followed by the Silke faction within the DoD, the third rank would be held by the 'minders' of the torture-surveillance on Antara for the last decade, the fourth rank would be vying between Kolkata and certain countries neighbouring to India.

Of course, the above was the victory of 'might over what was right', it was only needed to maintain the status of the globalised NRIs. Else, who was going to benefit if such a strange bunch of wrong-doers achieved supremacy in the world?

ii. Journalists in India who assisted or coordinated with high political offices often had strange skill-sets. Some of them were good at selecting photographs accompanying published articles, apt and topical, how did such a skill matter in the age of AI? 

Ideally, a photo should be able to move even in a printed format, say like a newspaper, somewhat like a .gif image. Of course, newsprint would have to be suitably altered to accommodate such changes.  Had Antara received any finances/investment over the last few years, she had considered moving from wood pulp to paper that could accommodate .gif images. 

Those were Antara's plans around 2019-2020, when she still dreamt of having a media company of her own in New Delhi, maybe with a branch office in Goa.

Antara's interest in moving images came from everyday products familiar to many of us, especially the rulers/measurement scales in pencil boxes which showed different images when tilted at different angles. It was what she attempted through her blogs, keep the India of the 1980s and 1990s relevant; decent education, good relations between small groups of people, jobs/professions that contributed to nation-building.

So the NRIs would try and enforce a draconian version of India, the blogs would offer that tilt in the image, a softer version of India.

If the global community wanted India's help or wanted India to remain respected and relevant, they could borrow insights from Antara's blog.

Antara was aware that those bothered by her blogs were coming together, including the Indian royals, the JLF crowd and INC, even foreign occupants of fake BT's House (this was the House in Asansol's suburbs, the Barakar-Dishergarh area.) Their journalist advisors, those we referred to at the beginning, have never been reporters, their 'handwriting' would not be familiar.

What if they wondered about the exponential growth in poppy-cultivation in Afghanistan through the decades of the War on Terror? Silke was not an easy adversary.
