9^TH AUGUST 2021

7:45 PM

ANAIMALAI, TAMILNADU

As it's an important festival, that's celebrated all over Anaimalai in Pollachi, people are getting ready to celebrate it around 7:45 PM. It's a place where there are Hindus and Muslims living together. They are like brothers and sisters. Krishnaswamy, a respected man in the city is taking the responsibility to organize festivals and celebrations in Masani Amman Temple, a few kilometers from Anaimalai.

Krishnaswamy have two daughters: Rashmika Krishnaswamy and Swathi Krishnaswamy. Both of them are college-going students, studying in PSG College of Arts and Science, a famous college in Coimbatore district. They came for the festivals, arranged in the village. There, their maternal cousin warmly invited them inside the temple for celebrations to be conducted.

Anuvishnu saw some of the people and his friends. Being flirtatious in nature, he asked one of his friends Pooja: "Hey. Pooja. Are you Gounder?"

"No. I am Devangar Chettiar. Why?"

"I just asked it simply." Upon seeing this, Aravinth, his maternal cousin scolds him and questioned: "Hey. Why are you so obsessed with caste and religion da? What's the satisfaction that you get by asking their caste?"

Putting his hands on Aravinth's shoulder, Anuvishnu's twin brother Adhithya replied: "Buddy. You won't understand the literal meaning of caste and religion until you face a big problem in your life." He however said: "You and my father would never reform your ways da. Do whatever things you wanted to." While speaking so Anuvishnu's friend Mansoor Ahmed intervened and said: "Hey Anuvishnu. Come here."

"What brother?" asked Anuvishnu. He said: "Thanks. Thank you so much da. You and your family have helped and supported us a lot. We wish to stay loyal to you forever."

Tapping his shoulders, Anuvishnu said: "Brother. No need to say such a big word. In front of your helps, these all are nothing." Anuvishnu had been working as a renowned advocate in New Delhi's Supreme Court. As a lawyer, he took so many cases that addressed the issues and problems, faced by Hindu people in India. He is an active member in RSS organization of Coimbatore district.

Whenever he sees a news related to bomb blasts and attacks, Anuvishnu often gets a PTSD episode. He couldn't control his emotions and often shouts at his family members frequently. Apart from that, he is very humble guy among the family.

THREE DAYS LATER

11:45 AM

ANAIMALAI-SETHUMADAI ROAD

Three days later, Anuvishnu meets Kamal Shiju to deliver a material, given by Krishnaswamy. After delivering the goods, he sat with him to talk for a while. Shiju asked: "Why Anuvishnu? You joined RSS and then in BJP?"

Holding his shoulders, Anuvishnu said: "Brother. You know? RSS and BJP are doing lots of good things for us as well as for minorities. For several years, we are divided in the name of caste and religion, so that politicians can seemingly benefit their family members. Now, things are changing bro. I will continue to change." While speaking, Anuvishnu gets a call from Harshini Sharma, a BJP spokesperson.

Accepting her call, he immediately moved forward to meet her in Hyderabad. Harshini Sharma is having saffron in her head and wears a traditional sari. Meeting her, Anuvishnu asked: "What happened Harshini? Any problems?"

Embracing him for sometimes, she said: "Yes Anuvishnu. I am facing huge criticisms and backlash from various countries for my comments against Prophet Muhammad and his marriage with Ayesha, a 9-year old women." Understanding her problem deep, Anuvishnu consoled her and agreed to support her cause as a lawyer in the Supreme Court of Delhi, where the verdict is to be declared. He comes to know from her that: "The 2-judge bench was not considering her point of views. As such, they didn't have any more data than we have." Crying inconsolably, she said: "Anuvishnu. They framed me as single-handedly responsible for what's happening in country, I am a security threat; my loose tongue had set entire country on fire. She should have apologized to the whole nation and much sooner, unconditionally too." As she cried, Anuvishnu consoled her. Holding her cheek, he said: "I am there with you right. Don't worry. I will handle this. Be bold and brave as always. Because, I never want my Harshini to cry anywhere."

Going to the supreme court, Anuvishnu greeted the judges alongside Public Prosecutor Rajesh Varma. As the case file of Harshini Sharma's had been read by the court pupil, Anuvishnu stood up and said: "My lord. This is the point where I'll urge honorable Supreme Court to keep in mind the good old principle of weighing words carefully. I shall not comment on Honorable Justice Surya Kant's allegedly controversial elevation in 2018, where allegations of corruption and casteism against him went un-investigated, but I'll say this."

"Objection my lord. The opposition lawyer tries to deviate from the case of Harshini Sharma by dragging Surya Kant in this case." However, Anuvishnu denied the words of Public Prosecutor and said: "My lord. The 2-judge bench was not considering the matter of Harshini Sharma ji on it's merits. As such, they didn't have more data than we have. As such, phrases like she's single-handedly responsible for what's happening in country, she's a security threat, her loose tongue had set entire country on fire, she should've apologized to the whole nation and much sooner unconditionally too, sent a chilling message to ordinary Indian citizens and especially Hindus."

Upon hearing this, the Public prosecutor said: "Objection my lord. It seems like the opposition lawyer is justifying the words of Harshini Sharma's remarks against Prophet Muhammad." Looking at him, Anuvishnu nods his head and continued: "Yes my lord. I indeed, justify the statements of Harshini Sharma Ji. I have to point this out seriously. The court will say nothing on insult to Lord Shiva, will give bail to people within a week who did that, but orally declare a woman single-handedly responsible when intolerant take the law into their hands, behead the people on video, threaten innocent citizens with death and run riots across the country because of their own hurt religious sentiments." Hearing this statement by Anuvishnu, some Brahmin people and Hindus shed tears. While, he continued: "Such remarks, which do not find mention in the court's written observations either, can cause enormous distress to ordinary Hindu citizens in future and if not raising doubts about a prestigious institution's legitimacy and neutrality, then it will certainly encourage massive self-censorship." Looking at everyone, Anuvishnu added further: "Never a good sign for a democracy, my lord. Courts are supposed to be the ultimate protector of Indian citizen's fundamental rights."

"So, are you coming to say that we are biased?" The Supreme Court Judge questioned Anuvishnu to which he said: "Of course my lord. If government will ignore Rule of Law, then Court will make sure it's upheld. That nobody is pronounced guilty without due process. Oral remarks, or even insinuations in written judgement, that too by top court of our nation, can do enormous damage to a person."

The Public prosecutor gets angry and asks the Supreme court to take a strict action against Anuvishnu for his poor remarks against the court. However, Judge refuses to do so due to his previous contributions and support for Hindu people. He instead, postponed the date of verdict for Harshini Sharma. Anuvishnu takes her out from the Supreme Court. When leaving in the car, some Muslim extremists and people outside protested and remarked: "Harshini. If you are caught, we will gang-rape you to death just like Girija Tickoo in Jammu."

"Stop the car." Anuvishnu said to the driver. As he stopped the car, he went towards the guy and slapped him for his derogatory remarks. He kicked him brutally and injures the guy. This is video-tapped by few groups inside the crowd and sent in Whatsapp with several editing and modifications.

Travelling in the car, Harshini holds the arms of Anuvishnu and lays in his lap. Laying with some tears in her eyes, she looked at him and said: "Anuvishnu. Control your anger, kindly. We can't achieve anything with anger."

Holding her hips, he said: "You know? 16 years ago, another 2-judge bench, while hearing the best-bakery case, made a remark, "This modern day 'Neros' were looking elsewhere when Best Bakery and innocent children and helpless women were burning and were probably deliberating how the perpetrators of the crime can be saved or protected. That's from the written order. We didn't have fast internet or social media back then. Now we have everything. So truths are somehow coming out."

Meanwhile, the Muslim man, who made derogatory comments on Harshini Sharma meets Naseerudin Ahmed after returning to Coimbatore through a flight. There, he said: "Sir. As per your instructions, I followed and executed it sir."

Smoking the cigar, Naseeruddin tapped his shoulders and said: "Very good. Stay tuned with me for next assignment." Looking at the photo of an young man, the Muslim boy accepts and leaves the place. While, Anuvishnu dropped Harshini at her house in Kottur, an area in Pollachi, where majority of them are Muslim people. Returning back to the house, he is still haunted with the safety of Harshini.

Henceforth, he meets his senior most people in RSS and BJP of Pollachi. There, they requests him to protect her by shifting their family to his own house. Alongside this, Y-security category and special protection is given to Anuvishnu's family as he shifted Harshini. Looking at her, he said: "Only for a few days Harshini. Everything will be alright."

"Anuvishnu. I am a marked women for the rest of her life. Not form just the threat by blood-thirsty Islamists but also from Left liberal eco system." Smiling at the book of Doctor B.R.Ambedkar, she continued: "You know well right! The first could kill a person only once. The latter would subject a person to countless, humiliating deaths again and again and again." She hugged him and asked to stay with her for sometimes. However, Anuvishnu feels uncomfortable and comes out of the room.

Looking at his uncle, he said: "Uncle. Is this the present condition of our nation?" Seeing his parent's photos, he asked him: "It's such that left liberal eco system and Islamists are writing to CJI and urging them to expunge the actual, written words from a judgement that fixes accountability for abuse of process and lying and fabricating evidence in court. Urging him to make sure the court did not intend to topple their outrage industry so that they can continue their abuse of process."

However, Krishnaswamy and Aravinth consoled him. Krishna said: "Not like such Anuvishnu. 10% of people are evil in the society. Doesn't we have friends like Mansoor and Shiju? They are very close and attached to us. You know well. Their father Kamaludeen built Lord Ganesha temple in Chomandurai Chittore. He respected our religion and we too. For us, any religion is okay. But, for a few and because of their selfish desires, we are ultimately becoming a victim."

"Uncle. But oral remarks about my Harshini Sharma's as single-handedly responsible for what's happening in the country are taken as a gospel truth by that same crowd without any legal due process or fair trial, to hold her guilty in the eyes of public. For all the times to come. Is that fair?"

"It's not fair." They said and Anuvishnu leaves some words to be read by his uncle and Aravinth. He goes inside to spend some qualitative time with Harshini Sharma. Krishnaswamy reads: "And honorable Supreme court judges would've helped in this repeat telecast of torture, providing the proverbial pitch-fork to extinguish her soul- which according to them, she was not even capable of possessing, on account of being a person who is not religious at all. So whatever's inside her must be some kind of evil. A women who's practically put her life on the line of defending the honor of Shiva in that disputed gyanvapi structure, is declared by a supposedly secular institution like Supreme Court to be not religious at all. But like I said, that's the kind of reality we live in. We have to unite forgetting about the caste and culture uncle. To wipe out all these societal evils."

Krishnaswamy decides to think about it for sometime. While, Aravinth initially vents in frustration for Anuvishnu's sudden change. But, later understands why he changed. Anuvishnu and Harshini goes for a trip to Athirapally waterfalls in their car. When going there, a group of people sent by Naseeruddin attacks Anuvishnu. But, the security forces of Anuvishnu shoots them down. While, Adhithya beats them up severely.

He gives a warning to Naseeruddin and asks him to stop harming their family and Anuvishnu after beating his henchman in Coimbatore. While travelling in the car towards Pollachi, Harshini asked Anuvishnu: "Who's Naseeruddin Anuvishnu? Why should he harm your family members?"

Anuvishnu recounts his college life as Harshini asked this to him.

TWO YEARS BACK

SEPTEMBER 2015

Two years back, Anuvishnu and Adhithya were final-year college students in PSG College of Arts and Science, pursuing his Third-year as a UG Student. Apart from his course, he pursued side courses on NPTEL, wrote stories and poems on several social issues and contemporary issues. Anuvishnu faced numerous wrath and controversies for his writings. But, BJP and RSS saved him from several problems.

When staying in the hostel, Adhithya met a girl named Nikitha Dixit, a 19-year old North-Indian girl staying in Hopes of Coimbatore district. Although brilliant in studies and General knowledge like Anuvishnu, Adhithya was quite weaker with girls because of their beauty and style. He started to speak normal with her and learned that, Nikitha wished to become a model and actress in future.

With the help of his classmate Rishi Khanna, he introduced her to Nagoor Meeran, with whom he had initial feuds because of his fake account prank. But, settled the issues and they became friends. However, insisted by Rishi, he deleted his contacts and even blocked him, maintaining distance from him. Since, Nagoor and his gang are very dangerous people, involved in several murders and police cases even though they are college students.

Adhithya used to tell Nikitha, "Be careful Nikitha. He would bring his whole group of people from Udumalapet, his hometown." He fell in love with her and decides to propose her when right time comes. However, a tragedy happens in his life. Anuvishnu rushed him to a dustbin yard of Ganapathy to find out the dead body of Nikitha in a suitcase. Upon looking the post-mortem report, Adhithya and Anuvishnu were shocked.

The report stated that: "Nikitha Dixit was killed with the help of a rope brutally. The rope was there in her neck while rescuing. Someone have hit her head brutally. Lots of blood have went out after a deep wound. And someone have assaulted her sexually and tortured her. Because of this, her female organs were fractured and bloods were flowing from her body."

A driver, who informed the police regarding the suitcase informed about a guy, who escaped after disposing the body at a secluded place. As he have his phone number, he took him to the hostel of Nagoor Meeran. Taking him into the custody, he initially refused to reply and fabricated the driver. She denied allegations of Nikitha. Angering the police, they questioned Nagoor further after bringing Rishi, who said he introduced the girl to him.

Nagoor was a photographer and have contacts with several people. Due to his lust for her, he decides to attain her somehow. Using her ambition for acting in cinema to his advantage, he asked her to come for his friend's house by making a false promise that, "He will introduce her to some film stars." Nikitha believed him and goes there in modeling get-up and some make-overs. After photography and poses, Nagoor tried to touch her forcibly despite her efforts to stop him.

But, Nagoor doesn't stop. He decides to fulfill his sexual desires. As Nikitha pushed him, Nagoor angrily takes a wooden chair and hits her head. A deep wound goes in her head and she becomes unconscious. Blood were flowing from her head.

Removing his dresses with a smile, Nagoor fulfilled his extreme sexual desires by chanting the Quran 4:34 slogan: "As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them(first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them(lightly)."

"No. No." Nikitha pleads with Nagoor Meeran. However, Nagoor fulfilled his sexual lust for her by raping her brutally. His tortures lead her female organ to bleed and fracture. He have tortured the girl to that extent when she was unconscious. After this, Nagoor brutally killed Nikitha using the rope. He thinks for time and with the help of taxi, he disposed the dead body in Ganapathy's secluded location. Nagoor is arrested by the police and to stop his arrest, his parents falsely tells that: "Nagoor is mental and is psychologically suffered due to addiction in phones." Hearing this, the court decides to investigate about this case. Nagoor looked at Adhithya and laughed when coming out. He said: "Money saved me right? You can't do a fuck against me da. I would bring whole group of my hometown, for several problems. Can't I save myself from this issue?"

Adhithya and Anuvishnu vents in frustration. Rishi feels guilty and decides to end his friendship with Nagoor Meeran and the gang. Realizing this, a violent argument and fights ensue between the group. In the process, Rishi and Nagoor kills each other at the fight nearby the college of Krishnammal in Kovai Pudur.

PRESENT

Since then, Naseeruddin plans to take revenge against the family of Anuvishnu. Since then, Anuvishnu and Adhithya were mammoths, protecting the family from the clutches of evil. At present, Harshini feels sorry for Adhithya's plight. She agreed to stand with him as he have helped her from this big issues. Anuvishnu and Harshini slowly fell in love after several events in the family and some activities in RSS. Krishnaswamy decides to unite with Anuvishnu to fight against the issues of Hindu people. He throws away his caste ideologies.

19^TH SEPTEMBER 2021

A few days later, Rashmika's marriage is fixed with a man of Krishnaswamy's choice. But, Anuvishnu finds out a letter by her in which she stated: "I am sorry dad, Anuvishnu brother and Adhithya brother. I love a boy named Nausath in my college. I am eloping with him. We both love since first year. I was unable to express my feelings to you. That's why I decided to elope. Sorry."

He is extremely shocked. Anuvishnu recalled the moment, he found about the love of Rashmika with Nausath. Informing his uncle, they planned to shift her college and even shifted her to Ramakrishna Arts. Even after that, Nausath brainwashed the girl and didn't allow her to live peacefully. Nausath doesn't listen when Adhithya begged him to spare their girl. Even Aravinth and Anuvishnu insisted and pleaded with Rashmika to forget about the guy. But, she decided to elope. Krishnaswamy feels humiliated and insulted upon hearing this shocking news.

Mansoor and Shiju consoled him and decides to bring some of his friends to rescue the girl. But, Aravinth angrily said: "Brother. No need brother. Even after hearing our words, she left right. Let her live with him happily. A single property from this house won't go for her. She should never step in to see our dead body too." Swathi lashed at Aravinth for speaking so. But, he slaps her and locked her inside the room.

Anuvishnu came towards Mansoor and asked him to investigate about Nausath, to which he agreed. With the help of his Muslim friends, Mansoor comes to know that: "Nausath is Nagoor Meeran's distant relative. He is out to avenge the death of his beloved relative. It was all a part of Naseeruddin's plan to lure Rashmika in the trap, so that, they can avenge Nagoor's death." Before Anuvishnu can stop the marriage, Rashmika have already converted to Islam and married Nausath.

Unable to bear the insults and humiliations in the town, Krishnaswamy commits suicide. Before dying he states in a letter: "Guys. We were very cautious to build big house and malls. But, we failed to be a good family for Rashmika. Wrong parenting is always injurious da. She should never step inside our house even for my funeral. A single penny of my property should not go to Rashmi. Everything should go for you, Anuvishnu, Adhithya and Swathi."

After the funeral, Nausath tries to come in with Rashmika. But, they are stopped by Mansoor and Shiju, who warned them to stay away as said by Anuvishnu, Aravinth and Adhithya. As Rashmika said: "It's her rights to see her father's photo one last time" Aravinth gets angered and beats her up.

He said to a crying Rashmika not to return for the house again. Else, he could kill him. Anuvishnu, Harshini Sharma and Adhithya doesn't say anything. They remained mum. When sleeping, Anuvishnu recalled how Krishnaswamy adored him with lots of love and affection.

Anuvishnu and Adhithya's parents died in Coimbatore blasts on 1992. After their death, it was Krishnaswamy who took care of them even though his own wife died owing to illness. They were together with him for several works alongside Aravinth himself. But, his death deeply shattered the guys.

Meanwhile, a group from Tamil Nadu talks ill of Diwali festival on October 5, 2021. Angered with this, protests are organized by RSS and BJP with the help of Anuvishnu and Aravinth. They demands the arrest of groups. As questions and demands arise for arresting the perpetrators, police arrested the group, who talked ill of Hindus, stooping to the low level.

03 NOVEMBER 2021

While, Naseeruddin plans to create riots and violence across Anaimalai between Muslims-Hindus(on the occasion of Diwali) by murdering Mansoor and fabricating it on Anuvishnu and Adhithya. So, he sends Nausath in the process to kill Mansoor. However, knowing their plans, Rashmika comes in between when they were to stab Mansoor. Apologizing to the family, she died in Anuvishnu's arms(who reached there at a nick of time, despite the warnings from his special security forces). This deeply shattered the family.

04 NOVEMBER 2021

RANGE GOWDER STREET, COIMBATORE

Harshini Sharma holds the hands of Anuvishnu and said: "You know why Diwali is celebrated? It's because Lord Krishna killed Naragasoora, who caused havoc in the life of people Anuvishnu. He was the mammoth for them. Go. Go and kill those evils if our people need a peaceful life." Teaming with Mansoor, Adhithya and Aravinth, Anuvishnu went inside the house of Naseeruddin who's in happiness with Nausath for destroying peace in his family.

Anuvishnu brutally beats up the men of Nausath and Naseeruddin. They are killed one by one. Recalling the death of Krishnawamy and Nikitha Dixit, Adhithya stabbed Naseeurddin's hands with a needle, mentioning about these punishments in Garuda Literature. Taking a whip in his hands, he beats him up severely. While, Aravinth takes an electric wire and gives him a severe beatings. Pointing out his wrong parenting, Adhithya accused Nagoor as the culprit because of whom he lost Nikitha Dixit and because of him, he lost his friend Rishi and because of him, he lost his whole happiness in his life.

"Hey. Only 10% of you in every religion are like this for your own selfish causes. Past 50 years, not the fuck changed in the state. Put all your ideologies in dustbin da. Try to turn as a good human being." Mansoor said to Naseeruddin. Even now, Naseeruddin tries to brainwash him to which, Anuvishnu said: "We are like brothers da. You can't separate us. Don't dream." Looking at Adhithya, Anuvishnu nods his head.

"If we leave these kinds of anti-social elements alive, then our country will lose it's peace da. Hack these Naragasooras to death." Adhithya hacked Nausath and Naseeruddin to a brutal death. When coming out of Naseeruddin's house around 12:00 AM, people are celebrating Diwali.

As they are going towards the car to reach Pollachi, a Muslim boy comes near Anuvishnu and shakes his hands. He said: "Happy Diwali brother." This completely makes him emotional and he hugged the boy.

Mansoor now requests Anuvishnu to forget about the bomb blasts, which is haunting him still more to which, he said: "I will try to brother. It's quite tough for me, because. None of your friends informed the blasts. They were safely inside the house. But, now I realize we can live united, if same thing like this continues for generation after generations."

"If problems come for our people, we shouldn't fail to protect our people as a Mammoth da Anuvishnu. Remember!" Adhithya and Aravinth said, to which he nods his head. Around 6:30 AM, the guys returned to Anaimalai. They fresh up and wiped the blood stains from their clothes. As it's Diwali, Harshini applied oil for Anuvishnu and Swathi applied oil for her beloved brother Aravinth. While, Adhithya sees a reflection of Mansi smiling at him, when Mansoor applied oil to him. While, Shiju burned crackers outside the house. The whole people in Anaimalai were celebrating Diwali.
