As the Ram pivoted and made his way back to his quarters, thoughts of other pressing issues filled his mind.
Khan Bahadur Khan declared: "Even those from the North East are gearing up to battle the British and defend Bharat. If we truly wish to see our dream of a united Akhand Bharat come to fruition, we must welcome them into our cause."
Afterwards, Khan Bahadur Khan handed the file to Ram, who began examining each person's name. As he did so, fragments of knowledge from his past life flooded his mind, along with information about the individuals standing before him.

This experience fueled his desire to completely dismantle the education system.
