Power doesn't always wear uniforms.
Sometimes it arrives in tailored suits with champagne smilesand passports from powerful nations.
And sometimes,it offers friendship...to test your roots.
Two weeks after the Bharat Ratna incident,
Nishanth received a visit.Not scheduled.
Not publicized.
Just a quiet call to a secured Xylon line:
"We're from the United World Economic Council.
We'd like to discuss strategic expansion into emerging nations.
Particularly India's rural vectors....through you."
Adarsh frowned.
"Sir, they're basically a Western elite lobby. They steer currencies, influence global tech, control most soft sanctions."
"Exactly," Nishanth replied.
"Let's hear what they want."
The meeting was held in a silent eco-lounge in Goa.
No media.No files.
Just three delegates and Nishanth and they got straight to it.
"Mr. Rao, your growth model is efficient. Pure.We believe you're the blueprint for impact capitalism."
"I'm not a capitalist."
