Russian woman and Belarusian detained red-handed during the attempt on the Indian king

The police of North Goa reported that they “stopped an attempt on the state by tourists from the Russian Federation and Belarus.” And not some, but perfect with the help of black magic. The fact that the Indian resort state of Goa is already “creaking” from the influx of guests from Russia can be guessed from the endless complaints of locals against Russians and Russians against locals. Both guests and hosts equally zealously blame each other for “incivility and pettiness”, but the “assault on the staff”, albeit a magical one, is a really serious accusation.

We asked what happened to the Goans themselves – both natives and Russian speakers.

– The usual party was, which, after 22.00, the police randomly raided in order to rip off a fine from the organizers, – Russian winterers from North Goa say. – Because it’s officially forbidden after 22.00, but everyone has parties, and the authorities know about it. And the police go to the sound, where they make noise, you can profit there.

Winterers from Russia traditionally earn extra money in Goa in all sorts of esoteric fields – astrologers, hypnotists and other gurus – but there were no accusations of black magic against them before. Especially with the threat to the whole state. So this is no ordinary party? We are trying to find out from the local population.

“Yes, I heard,” a homeowner from Mandrem, in North Goa, shows awareness. – Russian tourists released a cult against our king Vikrama.

It turns out that this is how the district police informed their sponsored areas, and this is how the local press spread the news. However, how King Vikram, aka Vikramaditya, prevented Russian tourists remains a mystery. After all, he lived in the 470th year from the nirvana of Vardhamana Mahavira, which in our opinion is in the 1st century BC.

“We respect Vikram very much,” explains a professor of history from Delhi. – He is famous for the fact that he expelled the Saka conquerors from his kingdom of Ujjayini, which opened a new era for India, which is called the era of Vikrama. It began in 57 BC and continues to this day, symbolizing freedom from invaders for the Indians. From the point of view of a simple Indian, to encroach on Vikram is to encroach on the freedom of India.

– But how can you encroach on Vikram?

– Laugh at his feat.

Local journalists shed light on the “assassination attempt”, saying that “the perpetrators have already confessed.” They really turned out to be guests from the Russian Federation and Belarus, who in one of the local cafes … put on a performance based on one of the Indian legends, during which they were caught red-handed.

– You see, in Goa all activities – performances of groups or individual artists – always take place at some cafe, – explains the European owner of the cafe in Arambol. – A cafe in North Goa is also not just a cafe. Often this is a canopy in the fresh air, people sit right on the improvised floor made of mats, and a concert is going on on the improvised stage. And everyone can speak, you just need to pre-register. We have open mic days where we let everyone who wants it show up, without exception. All performers receive a percentage of the café’s proceeds on the evening of their performance. We calculate the numbers of the program so that we finish by 10 pm. The police run over selectively, but if they choose our cafe, then after 22.00 we are obliged to turn off. So we try to get everyone to speak before then. And so about all cafes of this type work. It can be seen that they simply did not have time to finish there and attracted a patrol with noise. But how did the police know what they were talking about? Apparently, by costumes or scenery.

As it turned out, “an attempt was made on the ancient liberator king Vikram” by professional actors – a Russian woman and a Belarusian, and the story of Vikrama was told by them in Russian. What exactly in this led the local panchayat (authority) to the idea of ​​\u200b\u200b”assault on the state”, both do not even imagine. Moreover, they assure that their speech with the authorities was agreed upon, moreover, as an important digression into the history of Indian culture. “We do not support any cults or religious organizations. We are just theatrical performers. The executable story is an important legacy of Indian culture,” said the suspects at the police station.

– I think the cops were just alerted by the streams of excited, as it seemed to them, Russian speech interspersed with the familiar names of Vikrama and the Jain prophet (the prophet Jin Mahavir Vardhamana – the founder of Jainism – auth.), – suggest Russian winterers. “They are used to everything here, but the production of Indian history in the Russian community is, perhaps, really the first time.

Will it still be: in the chat of Russian-speaking Goans they are already inviting everyone to a new immersive (the effect of complete immersion in an artificially created environment – auth.) “a fairy tale-transformation, where everyone can feel like the Great Aurangzeb (the most evil padishah in the entire history of India – auth.) and punish all your enemies.”
