The Hills Are Burning 2023
The Hills Are Burning is a 2023 historical fiction novel and semi-memoir written by Anirban Bhattacharyya. Set in the hills of Kalimpong during the intense Gorkhaland movement of late 1980s, the story centers on three young boys at a boarding school whose lives intersect with the violent political upheaval. The narrative, rooted in real events, starts in 1986 when simmering tensions in West Bengal's hills erupt into a fierce campaign for a separate Gorkhaland state. Following Tukai, Roshan, and Norong through this turbulent time, the novel examines innocence, love, friendship, and survival as their destinies become deeply entwined with the unrest.
