Between the Assassinations is a poignant and perceptive collection of interconnected short stories set in the fictional Indian town of Kittur during the politically volatile period between the assassinations of Indira Gandhi in 1984 and her son Rajiv in 1991. Through the eyes of a range of vividly drawn characters—servants, businessmen, rebels, beggars, and dreamers—Aravind Adiga offers an unflinching portrait of a society grappling with injustice, inequality, and quiet resilience.
Aravind Adiga is the Indian-Australian author best known for his Man Booker Prize-winning debut, *The White Tiger*. In his work, he often explores themes of power, poverty, and human dignity in modern South Asia. Between the Assassinations cements his place as a keen observer of the complexities of Indian society.
