1917 Uttar Pradesh, India
I have recruited members frommany of the states in which I was able to spread my influence and am still looking for more members from the states I have not reached yet. But that aside I have finally started my party officially, the Bhartiya Samaj Sangathan (BSS). We held our first official meeting on June 15, 1917. We discussed in it about the situation of all the states, troubles of people their, what steps to take to counter these, how to tackle with the British problem, etc. We also decided to make a book about the working of our party, rules to be followed by every member, structure of our party, etc. All of these things was decided during the initial party meetings. We also decided to travel to each and every state and tackle their problems to gain support of people and understand their problems from the inside.
My party members knows about my Agradoot persona but as everyone they only know that I steal from rich who abuse their power to supress someone and distribute the money between suppressed. I have made sure to keep the assassination secret and separate from me. My assassins after independence will become something equal to RAW of my time, but it will also engage and eliminate threats also.
Well moving on to more pleasing topics my parents have decided on the King of Indore's daughter, Rudramma for my marriage. And as she meets my conditions I also don't have any problems. So my wedding was organised soon as there was no auspicious date for many years after this and all the members of my party are invited along with all the family and friends.
At first I wanted a small ceremony with little fanfare but as it is the marriage of a princess and we are also a very rich and affluent family I was outvoted and a grand wedding was organised.
It was a complete Hindu wedding with all the Hindu ceremonies. And when the bride was brought to the wedding pavilion my breath was stolen from me. She was looking drop dead gorgeous in her wedding dress. I annot take my eyes away from her and when she sat next to me I told her so. Then soon came the ritual of putting vermillion in her hair partition and taking seven steps together to signify seven promises. After this we took blessings from all the elders and well wishes for the new chapter of our life from the guests.
And so months went by our party started to spread in southern and eastern states as well and we started recruiting members from these states as well. One day when I was facing some problem in dealing with a situation in Karnataka my wife gave me an advice that solved it immediately. That day I remembered that I didn't take any significant action to empower women so, my first action in women empowerment was to recruit my wife as a minister herself and gave her the duty to recruit more women that can help us. It may have caused problems in the northern regions to give such power to women but not in South where women were allowed to rule and lead from way back in mediaeval times.
Like this we went from one place to another, one state to another solving problems of villages and cities alike and noting down anything on which we have to work on. And like this we started to get more popular in different regions and many people started connecting with us.
Seeing the support we have gathered I decided that this time I will be the one to launch non cooperation movement and to make it more effective I decided to recruit the staff of government offices. I don't want them to quit their jobs but to create chaos in the department by not doing work, delaying work as much as possible, etc. This way these officials will retain there jobs but no work will be done by them.
We operated like this for sometime, gathering support and popularity, recruiting members and we started waiting for the opportune moment to launch our first act of large scale rebellion. While I may think of taking a violent approach but thinking about the lives of people I decided that the rebellion will be a non violent one in which only violence will be done by my secret agents assassinating any Britisher causing problem in the spreading word of the movement or trying to stop it in any way.
So our future plans were set so we dedicated ourselves to spread our influence in every state of India by next year and half and gather as much nobilities support as possible.
While gathering support of common people was easy, the nobility was proving to be a problem as they were afraid that they will lose their power or will not have any influence left. I was thinking about this when my wife proved herself again and showed she will never come between my goal, she suggested to marry daughters of influential kings who have alliances with other nobilities to gather all their support. When I asked about her feelings about these things she said that she was raised a princess with teachings that she may have to share her husband with many women from the start and she wants to see a independent India just as much as me no matter what she has to sacrifice for it and it is a small price to pay for it. But she took a promise from me that she will always hold a place in my heart and she will be the one to decide who will marry me and who will not.
This move by my wife eased much of our problems as me and some of our more influential member who have enough wealth and prestige to marry into nobility also married their daughters and sons. This way we were able to gather support from much of the nobility and other also joined seeing that their interest will not be harmed. Whether it will be harmed or not will depend on their thinking but for now our course was set and we are ready for the future.
