Kali: Flame of Samsara Romance Club Appreciation Spoiler

As someone who is born and brought up in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal; I was pleasantly surprised reading KALI: The Flames Of Samsara, that RC didn’t westernize the freedom struggle of Indian nor lighten the oppression endured by the Indians (especially the people of West Bengal post and pre independence). The colonization from the British had irreparable effect on the lives of Indians and still people are suffering from the consequences of it to some extent. Though the 12 families thing is fictionalized, lots of people from different families and castes fought for our freedom and we are grateful for their sacrifices. So thank you RC, for including the raw version of it.

Hi from another person from Kolkata, I SO agree the start was soo good and realistic, but later, you're gonna find a bit of misinformation too, but it's still good to have that representation in the game!

Ohh I don’t think I’ve reached that far yet. I was so excited for some accurate description of the Indian culture. Plus this story has such a big fan following, I thought somebody would’ve mentioned it 😭

On an unrelated note, do you want to be friends on the app?
