Because of Belarus

Where was Antara disliked by a greater number of people, in Asansol or Purulia?

Right now, Purulia was apparently winning when it came to its dislike for Antara.

"It was nothing but penance for how Purulia had behaved when it came to the Sapphire matter and Coca Cola. Back in the late 1990s, Purulia was offering huge discounts on Coca Cola bottles, Ajit kept having these for weeks when he went for his evening walks, he ended up with an upset stomach. Anjali might have suspected that Ajit became careful about Turkish-Sudan following the incident."

Ajit was frequently harassed within Purulia in those years he spent there after his retirement. He used to dye his hair, when the gloss went away after a few days, it turned reddish, young boys would run after his scooter, "Look at his hair, either his head was on fire or he has put red mahdi on it." (Mahdists was also a Turkish-Sudan reference, this was around 2003-04.)

It shouldn't mean Antara would have to pay the price for such information. She researched on her own, if it yielded Turkish-Sudan information, she used it, she didn't use the information from Purulia that Ajit had with him.

And why did Purulia want to know whether Antara was aware if the Vanderbilts financed the Adolf Hitler Schulen (Adolf Hitler Schools) in Nazi Germany? The Vanderbilt side had blocked Antara's email id. In any case, Antara couldn't ask them whether they paid illicit donations to the Nazis or not. 

There was an interesting comic story from Bengal, a man had been punished by the local king, he had been asked to spend the night atop a tall metal pole, called 'shool' in Bengali. He somehow survived the night, only to find out it was unacceptable as punishment, he had cheated, there was a small fire burning at the base of the pole, it kept him warm through the winter's night, provided hope and optimism. So there'd be a repeat of the punishment. 

Maybe the Vanderbilt sum (if true) was negligible, why depend on them for your economic recovery?

The former POTUSes were apparently seeking the protection of their favourite Chicago law firms when it came to what they had done to Britain. The way to deal with the situation was to use the British intelligence side of it, thereby avoiding the Chicago legal community. 

How would you accuse the Chicago law firms? 

That they provided full legal coverage to men and women of Antara's generation that wanted to visit American cities? That it had been suggested around 1988 by one of Antara's classmates, who had bought a Miner's Safety Lamp to class? Later, they had read poems about 'gallants'? We had to accept the fact that the former POTUSes had made extraordinary legal arrangements for Indian men and women in the US, surely there was a requirement for such legal coverage?

A 'sizar' was an undergraduate at Irish or British educational institutions who either paid lower fees or got assistance for meals and lodging. Around 1993, when Antara was in Class 9, a senior girl (Class 10) had come up to her and asked, "Have a (pair of) scissors?" 

"I've got Julius Caesar," Antara had said, pointing at what she was reading. They had both laughed, and the girl went away. 

Antara didn't get lodging or meals assistance at ACJ but she got fees waiver, so "go get a 'sizar' and see what kind of Communism erupted across the world" was advice that had come from within Asansol AG Church.

All of us would wonder that what began so well--Purulia's understanding of the dangers of Turkish-Sudan or an Asansol AG girl's suggestion to use a 'sizar'--seemed to have led nowhere, except uncontrolled frenzy. 

Apparently, it was because no one really understood Anjali, how she had been mentored and from where, what happened if you were born five months before the July 20 1944 Adolf Hitler assassination plot, and if the consequences were a spate of 'suicides' of the conspirators, what did it imply for the so-called 'upper-strata' of the US Navy?

Did it make those 'conspirators' supporters of the Allies? Were they good people? Should we take their 'opposition' to Hitler for granted? Why didn't they oppose Hitler in March 1942, when most of European Jewry were still around?

You want to rush to HT and ACJ for help? Did you have any idea how much they feared Antara because of July 20 1944 and its consequences?

"Hmm, Sethi has joined, just a year senior to us at ACJ, earning Rs 80,000 per month at HT" was one of the first things Antara heard from a former ACJ batchmate when she joined HT.

Sethi, his 80,000 and dense, dark stormy skies was all there was to it, what further help could HT provide?

In constantly accessing HT and ACJ for information against Antara, you destroyed the networks, in Asansol and Purulia and elsewhere, what helped people lead their lives, undisturbed by Communism.

You called CPM Communist, you called TMC even more Communist than CPM, you don't even know how to describe the BJP. If you didn't know what you wanted, who could help you?

How did Antara manage hundreds of desks, in India? It was about paying attention to the economy and polity of the 1980s and 1990s, so one could understand which one was the illicit economy. Of course, even illicit economy Antara had to understand, so it was about finding what one needed to learn.

Because of Belarus, Antara stayed away from social media since 2015, which considerably helped.

You were NOT going to use Spain and Fleece for the land corridor. BJP or INC or other political formations was not an excuse.
