In 1956, the Senguptas travel from Calcutta to rural Malaya to start afresh. In their new hamlet of anonymity, the couple gradually forget past troubles and form new ties. But this second home is not entirely free and gentle. A complex, racially charged society, it is on the brink of independence even as communist insurgents hover on the periphery. How much should a newcomer meddle before it starts to destroy him? Shuttling in time and temper between the rubber plantations of Malaya and the anguish-filled years of pre-Partition Bengal, between the Malayan Emergency and Direct Action Day, between indifference and lust, A Flutter in the Colony is a tender, resonant chronicle of a family struggling to remain together in the twilight of Empire in Asia.All Rights Reserved

Kyun Utthe Dil Chhod Aaye by revawritess

Set in the pre-independence era, the story revolves around the lives of the main protagonists and the challenges they face in order to create an identity of themselves in an Independent India. But what happens if in the process of finding their routes to success, they happen to stumble upon each other's routes and the strings of fate tangle up in such a way that in order to save all of them, somebody will have to sacrifice themselves? एक तरफ जहां आज़ादी की आग भड़क रही थी, तो वहीं दूसरी तरफ चार दिल, अपने दिलों में एक ऐसी आग को हवा दे रहे थे जिसमें जल कर सब कुछ राख हो जाने वाला था। This story is going to be a crossover of the Itv dramas "Barrister Babu" and "Kyun Utthe Dil Chhod Aaye" so there might be some scenes that are taken from the actual drama but otherwise it is purely based on my take on the two stories.

Forget Me Not by EtherealHrshi

In the heart of British-ruled India, where the monsoon winds carried whispers of rebellion and the air was thick with the mingled scent of jasmine and gunpowder, a story was waiting to unfold-one that defied the rigid boundaries of empire, status, and destiny. Amid the cobbled streets and lush estates of jaipur, young Mira, barely eighteen, served as a housemaid in the grand home of Captain Edward Sinclair. Born into a family marked by hardship and resilience, mira carried the quiet strength of her ancestors in her dark eyes and moved with a grace that belied the harshness of her life. To the British officers and their families, she was invisible-just another native servant, a silent witness to the grandeur and the brutality of colonial rule. But to Edward Sinclair, an enigmatic and conflicted officer haunted by his own transgressions, she was an unexpected mirror to his conscience and a source of uncharted emotions. Bound by duty but restless in spirit, Edward bore the weight of secrets that had turned him into a pariah among his own kind, and it was in Anjali's presence that the sharp edges of his guilt began to blur. Their worlds were as different as the scorching sun and the cool, hidden streams of the Indian forest, yet fate conspired to weave them together. In the simmering tensions of an India yearning for freedom, their connection would challenge not just the chains of colonial power but the very notions of love, loyalty, and betrayal. This is a tale of forbidden passions and unspoken truths, where loyalty is tested, and hearts become captives of an era that sought to suppress them. As the empire's shadows lengthen and choices become as perilous as they are inevitable, Mira and Edward must decide if their bond will survive the fires of division-or be consumed by them.
