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?"

The Reborn Witch had a nice ‘Tea Time’ with the Dragon Queen today

[ Hiatus ] [Additional tag: GL, Yuri, Gender bender, skippable smut, Only Wholesome Romance, Overpowered MC & FL, fast romance] ———————- Centuries of Human-Demon War, countless deaths and warcries, as people treat deaths like daily breadcrumbs....... But now? With a single sway of her staff, Alice the Hero ended the war in less than two years, a devastation that was (traumatizingly) sung through lyres and riddles, forever a tale of a generation that foretold the hero's overpowering journey of the demonkind. Alas this story does not follow the Hero. Following the same timeline, we had Alice's father and mentor, Demond, a reincarnated, retired old mage who lived in a faraway forest. He is a survivor from another recent war named Dragonsong Battlefront, only ended by his courtesy of executing Adalon the Tyrant, whose flames drowned nations and clans in dragonfire, slaughtering countless millions alongside his Dragonkind. Upon listening to Alice's invitation for a Peace Banquet, the Tyrant Slayer Demond grumbly, but happily prepared for his reunion with his daughter. Yet a looming shadow of the tyrant's daughter awaited, for the Honourless Peacekeeper, the Sky Dragon Adrei, asked for Demond's head in exchange for his 'selfish' execution of the Tyrant, as the final resolution to the grudges of the Dragonsong Battlefront. And.........look at where we are now: “…Adrei, this old man requests that you to feed me properly.” “Oh? Is it not a request from your daughter to ‘properly’ take care of your…unique needs?” “I get it, but my mouth is up here, you perverted dragon!” “Ah it seems the wind is blowing quite nicely today…” ———— Discord Server: https://discord.gg/ZnjpQ499Kt Author’s note: The first 17 chapters would be a bit heavy to build the Yuri for a climatic chapter 19, as well as establishing themes but romance is ONLY 1v1 here!
