Whispered Oaths : Chains of silk
The story is set around 1915, a time when zamindars and the British had a good relationship, but the rise of revolution in India was also rising. While everyone was protesting outside the four walls of their homes, there was another phase of society where women were struggling within those same walls, trapped in their families. Because of some men's so-called ego and their foolish restrictions and rules. They believed that by doing this, they were protecting women from the outside world. But inside the four walls, there was darkness too. When women were asked to cook, clean, and do everything to make them obedient and submissive, there was one someone who didn't lower her gaze or shut her eyes in front of anyone. She had fire in her eyes. The quiet zamindar's daughter slips into secret meetings at the college and hides banned pamphlets under her silk shawl. Her hopes and dreams were shattered when her father, in the name of politics, forced her into marriage with a British man, all to secure power and influence. She hated the British with every fibre of her being. They symbolized oppression, a constant reminder of the chains binding her people. Her heart was full of rebellion, and the thought of marrying one of them felt like a betrayal of everything she stood for. She was determined to fight, not bow down. Time passed, and days turned into months, then years. Small uprisings started to take shape, a growing resistance among the people against the British. Amidst the chaos, the noise, and the unrest, a flame of love began to grow between two people who despised each other. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't escape the pull of love, a force stronger than their hatred, quietly weaving its way into their hearts. But love demands sacrifice darling.. Chains of Silk - symbolizes: A golden cage-beautiful, but still a prison. A love that is both soft and suffocating. The illusion of freedom under colonial rule. : Arthur x Sarvagya :
