Blood and Borders

In the blood-soaked shadow of Partition, two nations went to war—and never stopped fighting.** PART I: KASHMIR’S BLOODY DAWN (1947–1948) As the British Empire collapses, India and Pakistan are born in a frenzy of communal slaughter. Trains packed with massacred refugees crisscross Punjab, while in Lahore, **Jawaharlal Nehru** and **Muhammad Ali Jinnah** duel over Kashmir’s fate. When tribal raiders storm Srinagar, the Hindu Maharaja signs away his kingdom to India in exchange for salvation. But Pakistan strikes back—capturing Skardu Fort in a brutal siege and igniting the first war over the Himalayas. Amidst the chaos, a young Sikh farmer, **Kartar Singh**, loses his family to a Muslim mob and joins the Indian Army, vowing revenge. As the UN draws ceasefire lines, Kashmir lies divided, and the seeds of eternal hatred are sown. PART II: CLASH OF TITANS (1965) Eighteen years later, Pakistan launches *Operation Gibraltar*, infiltrating Kashmir to spark rebellion. When India retaliates, full-scale war erupts. In the skies, PAF legend **MM Alam** destroys five Indian jets in 30 seconds—an unmatched feat—while **Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Rafiqui** leads a suicidal raid on Halwara airbase. With guns jammed, Rafiqui stays airborne as a decoy so wingmen **Cecil Chaudhry** and **Younus Hussain** can escape, sacrificing himself to Indian flak. On the ground, **Major Raja Aziz Bhatti** defends Lahore’s BRB Canal for 120 hours without sleep, falling to a sniper’s bullet. As tanks burn at Chawinda and navies clash off Dwarka, both nations claim victory—but the Tashkent Agreement leaves Kashmir still bleeding. PART III: BIRTH OF BANGLADESH (1971) East Pakistan explodes in revolt. After Pakistan’s *Operation Searchlight* massacres Bengalis in Dhaka, India trains the *Mukti Bahini* guerrillas. At sea, Pakistan’s submarine *PNS Ghazi* mysteriously sinks on its own mines while hunting the INS Vikrant, and *PNS Hangor* avenges it by torpedoing the Indian frigate *INS Khukri*. In the skies, trainee pilot **Rashid Minhas** thwarts a hijack by Bengali defector Matiur Rahman, crashing his T-33 rather than let it reach India—earning Pakistan’s only air force Nishan-e-Haider. On the western front, 120 Indian soldiers hold off 3,000 Pakistanis at Longewala using jeep-mounted guns. When Dhaka falls, 93,000 Pakistani POWs surrender—humiliating a nation and birthing Bangladesh. PART IV: FROZEN CONFLICTS (1984–1999) In the icy hell of Siachen Glacier, India seizes the world’s highest battlefield by stealth. Soldiers freeze solid in their bunkers as Pakistan fuels insurgency in Kashmir. After Indira Gandhi is assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards and her son Rajiv falls to a Tamil bomb, nuclear tests in 1998 push the rivals to the brink. Then, in 1999, Pakistan infiltrates troops disguised as militants into Kargil’s peaks. **Captain Karnal Sher Khan**, the “Tiger of Tiger Hill,” decimates Indian assaults until an artillery shell tears him apart. **Lalak Jan**, a Pakistani soldier, fights alone for 24 hours with a machine gun, killing 12 Gurkhas before succumbing. When India storms Tiger Hill at point-blank range and the U.S. forces Pakistan’s retreat, soldiers are abandoned on the mountains—their bodies rotting in no-man’s-land. As General Musharraf seizes power in Islamabad, the war ends unresolved, leaving behind frozen graves and a question: *Will the next war go nuclear?*

If India Had Risen: The Forgotten Revolution of 1921

What if India had risen in 1921 — not in 1947? In April 1921, two years after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a grieving nation gathers in Amritsar to remember its dead — and to chart a new course. The British Raj, still reeling from international outrage and internal dissent, faces a nation on the brink of transformation. At the heart of this gathering stand men who will shape India’s destiny — or its downfall. Mohandas Gandhi, committed to non-violence, struggles to contain the tide of rage now sweeping across the land. Lala Lajpat Rai, the Lion of Punjab, calls for action without compromise. Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose, young and restless, seek a future beyond Dominion. Vallabhbhai Patel wages a quiet campaign to unite princely states under a federal vision. And Muhammad Ali Jinnah walks a careful line between trust and caution, protecting Muslim interests amid the rising nationalist wave. In the shadows of Metcalfe House, British officials prepare a different battle — one of political manipulation, divide and rule, and controlled concessions. But the winds of rebellion are stirring, and even the careful hands of empire may not hold them back. As mass protests spread, secret negotiations begin, alliances shift, and the first draft of an Indian Dominion Constitution is born. But will this path to freedom be forged through restraint — or through fire? 1921: India’s Forgotten Revolution is an epic alternate history of India’s independence struggle — a world where the spark of resistance was lit decades early, and the fate of an empire hung in the balance. A story of vision and betrayal, courage and compromise, it asks: "What if the giant had woken sooner?"

In an immortal world on the brink of destruction, the Jade Emperor, Guan Yu Xian, sends Zhao Ming, the most formidable fire god, to the mortal world on a mission to find the Mirror of Nine Flames-a sacred artifact capable of restoring balance to the universe. The Eternal Sky was in the midst of a great war after Ying Feng, the winged clan leader, launched an attack to seize the heavenly throne. One by one, the gods died in the devastating battle, including Mei Lian, the wind goddess who became Zhao Ming's lover.

The search for the Nine Flame Mirror takes Zhao Ming and Xiao Ying on a dangerous adventure, crossing various obstacles and palace conspiracies.
