Faizal ran his finger down the columns. Page 18: Three of his own uncles, burned inside a coal truck. Ramadhir’s reply. The Index did not discriminate—it recorded both sides. That was its terrible poetry.

Page 1: A single bullet. The killing of a Pathan miner by Shahid Khan. The index began not with ink, but with a blood debt. Faizal ran his finger down the columns
The Index had no names. It had numbers.
“Page 12,” Faizal whispered, his breath smelling of gutka. Nine men killed in a single ambush on the Ramgarh road. Ramadhir Singh’s men. The page was smeared with what looked like tea stains but felt like rust. The Index did not discriminate—it recorded both sides
Faizal understood. The Index wasn’t a history. It was a recipe.
The index had found its new index finger.
That night, Faizal gathered his two idiot brothers and the local gunsmith. He didn’t say “revenge.” He said, “Let’s balance the Index.”
