The Spark in the Dark
The story begins in a dimly lit, dusty room in Calcutta. The air is thick with tension and the smell of old newspapers. Anirudha sits with a group of students, listening to the radio. Mahatma Gandhi's voice crackles through the speaker, echoing the words: "Do or Die." This isn't just a speech; it's a command. Anirudha feels a surge of adrenaline. He realizes that his life as a quiet student is over. He is handed a heavy satchel filled with secret pamphlets. His mission? To take these words to the villages where the British eyes are less sharp, but their boots are just as heavy.
