Between The Assassinations (2008) is the book, a collection of short stories by the Booker Prize Winner Aravind Adiga. The title of the book refers to the period between the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984 and the 1991 assassination of Rajiv Gandhi who had also served as Prime Minister and was running for parliament at the time of his murder. The stories in Between The Assassinations have a backup of rural, coastal south Kittur (fictional), India where it is set. Adiga is not the first writer to write about a fictional created by his own. We have Charles Dickens who has created Coke Town, Thomas Hardy whose fictional town is Wessex. This is about some of the British literature novelists. R.K. Narayan of Indian English literature has also created a fictional town Malgudi. In these novels the writers speak about the then condition of their respective countries and native places. Following that lineage Adiga has also created a fictional town named Kittur, a fictional town somewhere in South India. Its subject is the pathos, injustice, corruption and ironies of India life.
