About this listen

The Murderer, the Monarch and the Fakir is a fresh account of one of the most controversial political assassinations in contemporary history - that of Mahatma Gandhi. Based on previously unseen intelligence reports and police records, this book recreates the circumstances of his murder, the events leading up to it, and the investigation afterward. In doing so, it unearths a conspiracy that runs far deeper than a hate crime and challenges the popular narrative about the assassination that has persisted for the past 70 years.

The Murderer, the Monarch and the Fakir examines the potential role of princely states, hypermasculinity, and a militant right wing in the context of a nation that had just won her independence. It relies on investigative journalism and new evidence set in a strong academic framework to unpack the significance of this tumultuous event.

The book tells the sequence of events and context of killing of Gandhi. It gives lessons for current generation of youngsters how power politics is played on the platform of hate and how regressive they are for development and growth.

A good read for Gen Z generation...
