Priyanka Kotamraju ( is a PhD Candidate in sociology, and a Gates Scholar, at the University of Cambridge. 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 seventy years.Īppu Esthose Suresh is founder and CEO of Pixstory, a new social media initiative launched in the United States in March 2021, and an Atlantic Fellow for Social and Economic Equity at LSE's International Inequalities Institute. Relying on investigative journalism and new evidence, Appu Suresh and Priyanka Kotamraju examine the potential role of princely states, hypermasculinity and a militant right-wing in the context of a nation that had just won its independence. Based on previously unseen intelligence reports and police records, the book recreates the circumstances of Gandhi’s murder, the events leading up to it and the investigation afterwards. This event launches the new book “The Murderer, the Monarch and the Fakir”, which is a fresh account of one of the most controversial political assassinations in contemporary history-that of Mahatma Gandhi.
