Part 4: Ashes of the Atom (1970–1980)


Tagline:

"You can bury fire under snow. But it still burns."


INTRODUCTION (Montage)

Visuals:

  • A desert test site — scaffolds, scientists, soldiers.

  • Chinese tanks roll into Tibet, met with rock-throwing monks.

  • A prototype missile rises in slow motion.

  • Indian and Israeli scientists in secret labs.

  • Saffron flag fluttering next to barbed wire and snow.


Voiceover (PM Arvind Rao Deshmukh):

“The wars of the past were of land. The wars of the future... are of shadows, atoms, and memory.”



ACT I: THE NEW GREAT GAME


Scene 1: Shadows in the Desert

  1. Rajasthan.
    India begins secret nuclear preparations under Project Urja. A joint covert pact is signed with France and Israel.

Scene 2: War of Maps, War of Minds

China releases maps including Arunachal Pradesh as South Tibet.
India retaliates with Operation Red Lotus — a global cartographic push through universities, think tanks, and the UN.

Scene 3: Dragon’s Tail

“The dragon grows bigger. But slower too.”

 


ACT II: NUCLEAR BRAHMASTRA


Scene 4: Pokhran Shadows

  1. India conducts its first underground nuclear test:
    Smiling Himalaya, codename for a weaponized demonstration.

But this time, it’s no peaceful bluff.
The world is stunned. CIA is caught sleeping.

PM Deshmukh publicly says:

“We do not believe in first strike. But we believe in last word.”

 


Scene 5: The Israeli Nexus

Backchannel cooperation deepens:

  • Mossad and RAW create a joint cell — Unit Veda.

  • Shared tech on missile miniaturization, satellite relays.

Meera is stationed in Tel Aviv.
Together, they eliminate a key Chinese-Pakistani nuclear scientist in Karachi — a silent surgical strike.



Scene 6: Monks with Microphones

Dharamshala becomes a hotbed of spiritual activism.
India sets up Radio Free Tibet — broadcasting truth into Chinese territory via underground transmitters.

Voiceover: “A monk with a microphone can shake an empire.”

 


ACT III: THE INDO-CHINA COLLISION


Scene 7: The Doklam Standoff (Precursor)

China tries to build a road through Bhutan.
India preempts — paratroopers land silently, blocking construction.

Tensions flare. Guns are drawn. No bullets fired.
But the message is clear: “This isn’t 1962 anymore.”



Scene 8: Dragon’s Deceit

China and Pakistan jointly test a medium-range missile — Shaheen-X.
India’s response is immediate:

Project Garuda: The country’s first MIRV-capable missile launched successfully.



Scene 9: The Last Stand of Deshmukh

  1. PM Deshmukh, now old and frail, addresses Parliament for the last time.

“We were mocked for dreaming. We are feared for achieving. Let history note — Bharat does not seek war, but it will not inherit silence.”

He steps down, passing the torch.



EPILOGUE: THE GHOSTS OF HIMALAYA

  • China clamps down on Tibetan revolts.

  • Aksai Chin sees unconfirmed reports of skirmishes.

  • A mysterious satellite photo leaks — a saffron flag on a Karakoram peak.

  • In PoK, whispers rise: “They’re coming.”

"Operation Vajra-Netra"
Objective: Reunification. Restoration. Retaliation.
