Blue Rafflesia was spotted and photographed in Andaman and Nicobar Island, which was until then known as an imaginary species. A tiger roamed around Bhubaneswar City. A madman tried to cure Cancer in Simlipal. A Professor established a connection between the presence of Blue Rafflesia and Uranium. Now, they plan to find the root cause of all this on the mysterious island of The North Sentinelese. What happened next?
The narrative of three friends and one professor who discovered the riddle of Damchara, where the Tunga Tribe and the powerful Sena Dynasty fought for control of the tribes' land. Kingsmen coveted the tribe's territory, and the tribes were doing everything they could to protect it. The war lasted two years and ended abruptly in one day. Kingsmen returned to their base, and tribesmen remained as they were.
The question is, how did a conflict so fiercely waged between the two parties come to an abrupt end? What's the mystery behind it? The fight took place in what is now Damchara, Assam, in North East India.
Jayanta was fast asleep in his cozy bed at his house in BBSR. The daytime was extremely hot, and like many others in BBSR, Jayanta's energy level was very low. However, he had finished dinner and was waiting for a reply from Prof. Bhattacharya. The professor was analyzing the appearance of the Blue Rafflesia in real-life photography. Prior to the release of this picture, it was assumed that the Blue Rafflesia was an imaginary plant found in different folklore.
“Yes Sir, I am awake”…Jayanta replied hurriedly. He had just entered the world of dreams and suddenly this disturbance.
“Then come running to my lab. I have something to show you.”..after inviting Jayanta Prof.Bhattacharjee cuts the phone.
Jayanta was shocked but not amazed due to this late-night invitation, as such invitations are common with Professor. Whenever he became extremely excited he invited Jayanta at the wee-hours. So it is assured that he has identified something extremely significant but the problem is he has not divulged about the reason behind his excitement.
However, when your guide calls, it's impossible to ignore it and you have to respond whenever it comes.

“So what have you decided? Whether to leave me alone and allow me to do my research or to continue your “mule job” and spy on me?”.. following a brief interval, the speaker proceeds with their discourse.
“If you choose the latter then I have to make you my guest for the rest of your life and otherwise I will let you go. Many fugitives are living free in our country and abroad. Look for them. Give them some attention also. Why me?”
“Yes, Sir…we understand your problem.”…Raj interrupted the voice. “But we are not the mules you are talking about. I and Rohit are students and although Mr.Gomez is working in the Police Dept doesn’t imply that he is into any type of investigative activity. All three of us are friends and have come to Simplipal to visit different locations of the Forest as a tourist not as a part of any team as you have approximated. So please let us enjoy the beautiful scenery and you people do your work.”.
“That’s what I want also”..replied the voice agitatedly.
“So can we go now ?”..Mr.Gomez now quipped at the voice.
“No..my friend. How can I believe that you will not meddle in my activity.?”
“Do you have any proof that we will meddle in your activity?”
“Oh Ok..You are spot on…OK, friends then you can go away from this place. Just wait a little bit such that I can arrange transportation for all three of you. Other hostages have already been released. But friends please ensure that we are not bothered any further…with this the Voice stopped.
And within 10 seconds the radio blasts along with the speaker.
“That’s very nice. Congrats!”…Gomez added gleefully. “But still you have not told us about the way we are disturbing you, my friend”
“Oh, Inspector. Please be patient. I am going to disclose. And I will also explain how you can stop this nuisance of yours and be a part of this revolution. As usual, I am a person who knows how to compensate people for the work they have done for society. So you all will be paid also.”…voice stopped for a while. The modulation of the voice at the time of speaking the last two lines seems to be changed towards what we refer to as aggressive.
“I will of course release all three of you and also the other hostages. But you have to promise one thing.”
“What?”..Now Raj interrupted the voice again.
“Just ask your Government to stop meddling in my affairs. I assure you that I will give my entire invention to them. They can earn from it. Your ministers can develop a sustainable and stable government from my discovery. As a result, millions of people will be free of Cancer even if they are at stage 4. Against this, I will not charge a single penny from your government.”
“Really..you will not have any profit from your invention? But then why you are not getting help from your Government now.? I don’t think our government will have any problem to help you become successful in your noble work.”..Mr.Gomex added.
“Yes, I will share it but first let me complete my invention. Due to these repeated raids by the police, CID, CBI, and also by military intelligence, I am facing a lot of trouble in the completion of this revolutionary innovation. Now they have sent three of you also as a mule.
But you know when you are inventing something so significant you must be very much aware of not only the external enemies but for the internal enemies. That is why I am secretly doing the works of the invention. Earlier I had approached Research Wings of different government and nongovernmental organizations. But each one of them had rejected my proposal and also threatened me as a conman who would have dire consequences if I further disturbed them.
Then I start to do it alone. But I do not have money or power. So my every attempt to see my invention become a reality failed miserably. After that, I decided to adopt the next way available to me. But my determination to see this medicine as reality was strong. So I find a place in a small town college near the Simlipal Reserves. Now I have accomplished the main model and am trying to develop the capsule from the extracts of Blue Rafflesia.”
