Vikram Aur Betaal Story of the subcontinent
This Indian story written 2500 years back (with a twist) goes some thing like this ….see if you can find parallel here...
King Vikram (India or Bharat) must bring a corpse (partition) hanging from a Banyan tree (British rule) in a graveyard to a tantric (a party that led the freedom struggle but never one it).
The corpse is inhabited by Betal (a radical ideology that includes religion as state craft); a wily vampire who proves to be a challenge for King Vikram.
The tantric (immature bunch of historical leaders, some holy cows included) wanted Betal so as to get to power. However Vikram is burdened with the task of getting it…he releases it from the tree but cannot control it.
Every time Vikram tries to tame the Betal (numerous wars, treaties), it tells a story (Kashmir) that ends with a riddle and escapes …So Bharat is destined to live with this Betal and listen to a story (terrorist act) each time….
