Life had returned to normal after the cataclysm and everyone had work to do either rebuilding or exploiting the meteor fragments and the precious metals they contained.
It was a real gold mine for the electronics companies. But all this work was also attracting immigrants from nearby Sri Lanka, and this soon led to ethnic conflicts between Muslims and Hindus. The most active were from the Matoule ethnic group. The worst were those who had pledged allegiance to Boko Haram.
Their main sources of income were mass kidnapping and security racketeering.
One village did not "pay" its tribe, so massacres ensued.
Until now this whole region of India was spared, minor conflicts were on islands and did not even make the headlines in the local newspapers.

Sylvia arrived with Brahma, Surish's sister and her two children Ankur and Choudari.
Sylvia thought: "What a beautiful house!".

This semi-communist system allowed many generations to get by and clans to be created. Some became powerful and even influenced politics.
"Wow, how beautiful my room is," Sylvia exclaimed.

The Bengali family was relatively wealthy and this translated into a rather comfortable lifestyle.
Brahma then told me (POV Sylvia) "Your bed is double but it can fold in two and make room for your desk.
All your school stuff is stored in the sliding cupboards and in the garage, your stuff is always in the boxes. We didn't dare to open them to put them away so if you want Ankur and Choudari, your cousins can help you to settle down.
