Dhrubajyoti Borah's latest novel, 'The Rainbow Runners,' recounts the harrowing days of insurgency and counter-insurgency in Assam through the experiences of Sriman, an ordinary young man.
Violence, abductions, and human rights violations marked Assam's landscape for over three decades. Sriman's journey offers a stark look into this tragic reality, from his mental trauma to his entanglement with underground leaders turned state allies.
The novel, part of Borah's 'Kalantarar' trilogy, shifts halfway to the Himalayas, revealing the fates of both Assamese youths and Tibetan refugees. Sriman's quest for meaning and hope lies at the novel's core as he grapples with his past and future.
