Introduction
A dirty game of deceit and disguise.This game is the twisted tale of Wasseypur. A seemingly innocent looking town full of insidious, rotten bastards. lt was a dark and bloody jungle, where everyone thought he was the Lion King. The in-fighting between Muslims is centuries old. ln Wasseypur, it wasn't even a Shia-Sunni fight, they were all Sunnis. lt was a battle between the Qureshis and the rest of the Muslims. lnitially, this fight was one-sided. Everyone was terrified of the Qureishis who were butchers by profession. Everyone submitted to them out of fear. So the Qureishis openly ruled the town. This was when Wasseypur was a tiny village outside the town of Dhanbad which was a part of the state of Bengal. Post-independence, state lines were redrawn. Wasseypur and Dhanbad became a part of the state of Bihar. And finally, today they are a part of the new state of Jharkhand.
