I am on the hit list: Murder and myth making in south India by Rollo Romig Context Westland boOks, Chennai, 2025, 359, pp. Rs. 799 (HB), ISBN 978-93-6045-832-4.
This is a remarkable work of dogged journalism. Romig sets out to learn and write about Gauri Lankesh. That leads him naturally, to the murders of Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and MM Kalburgi. Those eases, like Lankesh are making hlting headway through our law and order machinery not least because of the renationalization too many make. Romg paints an India that has gone frighteningly off course. that as this heraldry matters. Reproduced
