As the new year of 1935 dawned, Aryan Yadav found himself reflecting on the significant events that had transpired over the past months. The journey had been intense and transformative, filled with moments that tested his resolve and expanded his horizons.
**Meeting the British Officer**
Mr. Thompson had kept his promise and arranged a meeting with a high-ranking British officer, Colonel Edward Hastings. The meeting was set in a grand office, adorned with British regalia, a stark reminder of the colonial power.
Colonel Hastings, a stern man with a sharp gaze, scrutinized Aryan as he entered. "So, you are the prodigy Mr. Thompson speaks so highly of," he said, his voice carrying a mix of curiosity and skepticism.
"Yes, sir," Aryan replied confidently, meeting the Colonel's gaze.
The Colonel tested Aryan's knowledge in various subjects, from mathematics to history, and even posed complex problems to gauge his analytical skills. Aryan answered each question with precision, his intellect shining through.
After what felt like hours, Colonel Hastings leaned back, a hint of a smile on his lips. "You are indeed remarkable, Aryan. I will recommend your admission to the university. Your talents should not go to waste."
**Reorganization of the Indian National Congress**
During this time, Ravi shared significant news with Aryan. "The Indian National Congress has reorganized itself after a brief lull following the suspension of the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1933," Ravi said one evening as they sat in the dimly lit living room.
Aryan listened intently, sensing the importance of the information. "What does this mean for us?" he asked.
Ravi's eyes gleamed with determination. "It means the fight for independence is gaining momentum again. And there's more. I've been in contact with the followers of your deceased parents, Surya Yadav and Anjali Yadav. They were founding members of the Bharatiya Swatantrata Sangathan. Their followers want to reorganize and come out of hiding."
Aryan felt a surge of pride and responsibility. "What can I do to help?"
Ravi placed a hand on Aryan's shoulder. "Your intelligence and abilities can be a great asset. We need to strategize and plan our moves carefully. The British are vigilant, but with your skills, we can make a significant impact."
**A New Year, A New Resolve**
As the days of 1935 unfolded, Aryan balanced his rigorous training, his studies at the university, and his secret activities. He continued to nurture Shakti's powers, ensuring she was prepared for any challenges they might face.
The reorganization of the Bharatiya Swatantrata Sangathan brought new allies and resources. Aryan's secret base became a hub of activity, with plans being drawn and missions being executed. His dual identity as a superhero and a genius student allowed him to gather crucial information and support for their cause.
**Recognition in Bengal**
Aryan's efforts as a superhero did not go unnoticed. In Bengal and the surrounding areas, tales of his bravery and supernatural abilities began to spread. People started to see him as a beacon of hope, often referring to him as an avatar of a god or a powerful blessed individual. His acts of heroism, such as saving villagers from natural disasters and protecting them from oppressive forces, endeared him to the masses.
One evening, as Aryan was helping rebuild a village after a devastating flood, an elderly man approached him. "You are truly sent by the gods," the man said, his voice filled with reverence. "We are blessed to have you among us."
Aryan smiled humbly. "I am just doing what I can to help. Together, we can overcome any challenge."
In another instance, a group of children gathered around Aryan, their eyes wide with admiration. "Are you really a superhero?" one of them asked.
Aryan knelt down to their level. "I am just like you, but I use my abilities to help others. Remember, you can be heroes too, by being kind and helping those in need."
With each passing day, Aryan's resolve grew stronger. He was not just fighting for his family's safety but for the freedom and dignity of his people. The journey ahead was fraught with challenges, but Aryan was ready to face them head-on.
**Political Shifts and Personal Reflections**
As Aryan Yadav delved deeper into his dual roles, he couldn't ignore the significant political shifts happening around him. The Indian National Congress was regaining its momentum, with leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel emerging as prominent figures. Their dedication to non-violent resistance and civil disobedience inspired many, but Aryan had his reservations.
Aryan admired Gandhi's unwavering commitment to non-violence and his ability to mobilize the masses. However, he disagreed with the Congress's overall strategy of non-violence, believing it was too passive. Aryan saw Nehru as an incompetent leader who made several mistakes, hindering India's potential progress. Patel's organizational skills and his role in unifying the various princely states were crucial, but Aryan felt that a more assertive approach was necessary.
Aryan resonated more with the radical approaches advocated by leaders like Subhash Chandra Bose. Bose's call for complete and immediate independence aligned with Aryan's own sense of urgency. He believed that a multifaceted approach, combining both non-violent and more assertive strategies, was essential to overthrow British rule.
**Government of India Act 1935**
The impending launch of the Government of India Act in 1935 was a pivotal moment. Aryan knew that this act, while granting limited self-governance, was still a far cry from full independence. It was a strategic move by the British to placate Indian demands while maintaining control.
Aryan's thoughts turned to Bengal, a region rich in culture and history but also a hotbed of political activity. He was determined to prevent the division of Bengal and ensure it didn't fall into the hands of the Muslim League, which was gaining influence. Aryan knew that establishing contact with key Congress leaders and gaining their support was crucial, despite his disagreements with their methods.
**Plans for Action**
1. **Establishing Contact**: Aryan decided to reach out to Gandhi, Nehru, and Patel through trusted intermediaries. He wanted to present his ideas and offer his unique skills to aid their cause, while also pushing for a more assertive approach.
2. **Building Influence in Bengal**: Aryan planned to strengthen his presence in Bengal by organizing rallies, distributing pamphlets, and using his superhero persona to inspire the masses. He aimed to counter the Muslim League's influence by promoting unity and a shared vision of independence.
3. **Alliances with Radical Leaders**: Recognizing the importance of a diverse strategy, Aryan sought to establish a connection with Subhash Chandra Bose. He believed that Bose's radical approach could complement the Congress's efforts and create a more formidable resistance against the British.
With these plans in mind, Aryan felt a renewed sense of purpose. The year 1935 was not just a new beginning but a crucial turning point in India's struggle for independence. Aryan was ready to leverage his intellect, his powers, and his unwavering determination to contribute to the nation's freedom. The road ahead was challenging, but Aryan knew that with unity and strategic action, they could achieve their ultimate goal.
