The Assassination Of Rajiv Gandhi by Neena Gopal
A journalist who conducted Rajiv Gandhi’s final interview recounts the lead-up to his 1991 assassination in Sriperumbudur, blending on-the-ground reporting with the broader history of India’s Sri Lanka policy, the rise of the LTTE, and the motives of its leader. Drawing on eyewitness detail, intelligence warnings, and subsequent investigations, it reconstructs the plot involving Sivarasan’s network and the suicide bomber Dhanu, exposing security lapses during the election campaign. The narrative also examines the aftermath—from the SIT probe to the Jain Commission—probing lingering questions and the lasting impact on India’s politics and regional strategy.
