THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF MUMBAI
The Literary Club of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai and Literature Live!
invite you to an “In Conversation” on the novel
“The Hills are Burning” by Anirban Bhattacharyya with Jane Borges
Tuesday 28th November at 5 p.m

The Literary Club of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai in collaboration with Literature Live! takes pleasure in inviting you to join us in conversation with the author Anirban Bhattacharyya on his novel “The Hills are Burning” on Tuesday 28th November 2023 at 5 p.m. He will be in conversation with Jane Borges, Editor and Author.
The book is a semi-memoir. It is the true bittersweet, coming-of-age story about three friends growing up in a boarding school in Kalimpong, Darjeeling, West Bengal, set against the genesis and the subsequent violence of the Gorkhaland revolution of 1986-88.

This is an authentic representation about what transpired at that time, including the human rights violations and how the hills lost their innocence forever. It shows the effect of conflict on ordinary people, as seen through the eyes of the three children who are forced to grow up beyond their years as they are confronted by death and violence. It has been described as 'The Wonder Years meets The Killing Fields.'
The book debuted on Amazon International at No.1 for Indian writing in the USA, Australia and India. The first edition was sold out in three months' time and the second edition is now in stands.

Anirban Bhattacharyya wears many hats - he is a best-selling author, television content producer, stand up comedian and an actor. He likes writing across multiple genres. Anirban grew up in a boarding school at Kalimpong, and went on to do his Bachelor’s degree in English Literature at St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata. Later a Master’s degree in Film, Television and Mass Communication from MCRC Jamia, New Delhi.

Jane Borges is a senior journalist and author. She has co-authored the non-fiction Mafia Queens of Mumbai and Bombay Balchao. In 2022 she won the Redlnk Journalism Award.
We look forward to your participation in this discussion.

Tea will be served at 4.30 p.m.

- Prof. Mangala Sirdeshpande, Hon. Secretary Asiatic Society of Mumbai
- Meenal Kshirsagar, Vice President of the Society & Chairperson - ASM LitClub

 We invite you to the lecture on Friday, December 1, 2023 when the well-known economist and present vice-chancellor of the Gokhale Institute of Politics & Economics, Dr Ajit Ranade, will be speaking at The Asiatic Society of Mumbai.
