'I Am on the Hit List,' Pulitzer finalist discusses late journalist Gauri Lankesh

In 2017, advocate and journalist Gauri Lankesh was murdered outside of her home near Bangalore, India. Rollo Romig spent more than five years researching her work and her death, resulting in the book, “I Am on the Hit List: A Journalist’s Murder and the Rise of Autocracy in India,” which was a finalist for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize. He spoke with Ozarks at Large's Kyle Kellams about the book and Lankesh last month.
