Prafulla:- Bhaduri Babu, you have called three of us to meet you here. What’s the matter?
Bhaduri Babu:- Please take your seats. I need to discuss about a serious issue. Last week, a poor boy of Bhaduribagan was brutally whipped by Roland. Even he made abusive comments to the father of that victim. After that incident, I met Roland at his office. It was a humiliating day for me.
**************
Roland:- Yes, tell me! How can I help you? You wanted to meet me, right! By the way, can I have your identity please?
Bhaduri Babu:- I am the grandson of Mohandas, who was once a great zamindar of Sutanuti.
Roland:- Oh! Yeah, yeah, now I understand who you are. You are still having control of your ‘Bhaduri Estate’ in Sutanuti. You are lucky enough that your estate has not been seized till now by the British High Command.
Bhaduri Babu:- How can they seize our estate? They made an agreement with my father Jatindas that we have to pay a yearly grant of 3000 bucks to the British High Command to keep that estate under our control.
Roland:- Wow! So, you still have enough money to pay such a huge grant on a yearly basis. Very soon, I will increase your yearly grant to 4000 bucks. Don’t worry about that. What’s your good name?
Bhaduri Babu:- My good name is Devdas.
Roland:- Ok, now tell me the reason for coming here.
Bhaduri Babu:- I am very much concerned and hurt by hearing that as an able lieutenant of Sutanuti, you are ill-treating the Indians of Sutanuti. How can you whip a poor boy for 30 times for such a small issue? I have also heard that you made a statement that all Indians are slaves. Maybe, the Indians do not know how to play football, but for that reason, you have no rights to make such abusive statements. Even you have told Surendra that he is lucky enough not to get slapped by you. What kind of a behavior is this? Earlier also, there were many lieutenants in Sutanuti. They were not a racist like you. You must apologize for your behavior.
Roland:- From which angle, you are regarding my statements as a racial one. I have said nothing wrong. And how dare you order me to apologize in front of those bloody slaves? Mr. Devdas, you are not a zamindar now. You ancestors have surrendered their power in front of us. You such brats of zamindar family are just puppets now. We always make you dance on our own wishes. By the way, if you co-operate with our administration to arrest those Indian rebels, then I can even reduce your yearly grant by 500 bucks.
******************
Bhaduri Babu:- I want to form a football club for the Indians. I want to prove Roland that Indians can also play football. If the Bengali footballers can beat those British footballers in their own invented football game, then nothing can be a better revenge than that, for this insult.
Dinesh:- Bhaduri Babu, have you gone crazy! Roland made some abusive statements and for that reason you want to form a football club for Indians. Indians don’t even know how to play football.
Bhaduri Babu:- Yes, I have gone crazy. How dare Roland make such a statement? I am also a son of zamindar family. I have not learned to vow my head in front of anyone.
Prafulla:- Ha ha ha…now, when someone has regarded you as a slave, you understood the poor slavery conditions of the Indians. Now, you are talking like an Indian freedom fighter. Till date, you regarded these British people as your friends.
Bhaduri Babu:- All British people are not bad. Mr. Beadon is still one of my good friends.
Badal:- Bhaduri Babu, a rose plant has thorns and flowers, but, there are some people like you, who take their entire life to differentiate the flowers from the thorns. When Dinesh, Prafulla and I came out of the Congress party, everyone criticized us. But, today, three of us are a terror for the British government. One day will come, when our secret armed forces will wipe out the British people from India.
Bhaduri Babu:- An eye for an eye will make the world blind.
Dinesh:- We also respect the ideology of Mahatma Gandhi but if you keep on following that ideology, then India will never get independence in the next 100 years also. To kill a poison, you need another poison. If British people are the thorns of India, then Indians have to act as thorns to pick out and throw out those thorns from their motherland.
Bhaduri Babu:- Only a mere 15% of the population in India will be willing to take up arms in their hand. The rest of them follow the non-violence policy only. If we can instill a sense of ‘Swarajya’ and patriotic spirit within the people of India, inclusive independence can be achieved. That’s why; I want to form a swadeshi football club. Prafulla, your attempts to form a swadeshi club has failed for the third time, but, no one will put objection if you attempt to form a swadeshi football club. Mr. Richards is the President of EICFF (East India Company Football Federation). I know him very well. I will meet him soon to discuss about my new football club.
Badal:- But, what kind of help do you want from us?
Bhaduri Babu:- Just give me 11 swadeshi players from your ‘Swadeshi Andolan’ group. That will be enough for me.
Prafulla:- Ok, that we will do. But, who will coach those 11 players?
Bhaduri Babu:- Santosh is the son of my childhood friend Shantanu Roychowdhury. Santosh had studied law in London. In his college life, he was a fantastic striker for his college football team. After the death of Shantanu, 6 months ago, Santosh came back to India and became a famous lawyer of Calcutta High Court. For last 2 years, he has earned great reputation as a criminal lawyer in London. Santosh has promised me to provide football coaching to all my players.
***************
Roland:- Mr. Dave, have you got any clue about the murderer of Kepler?
Dave: - Sir, everyone has heard the firing round but no one has seen the suspects.
Roland:- This is the problem in India. When an Indian gets killed, you will get at least 10 eye-witnesses, but, when a British person gets killed, no one sees anything. That’s why; I hate these Indians so much. Anyway, Dave, if you don’t get any evidence regarding the murder of Kepler within a week, then just put the case into the back-burner. Already, a young Indian lawyer, whose name is Jagdish has filed a case against Kepler on the charges of rape, murder and changing the post-mortem report of Shivani. If the Kepler murder case remains open, then probably, that bloody Indian lawyer will get a chance to prove that Kepler was a criminal. If that happens, then the Indian rebels will start getting support from the Indian common public and that will be dangerous for us.
