Fiction
The Tainted
by Cauvery Madhavan
Description
It's spring 1920 in the small military town of Nandagiri in south-east India. Colonel Aylmer, commander of the Royal Irish Kildare Rangers, is in charge.
A distance away, decently hidden from view, lies the native part of Nandagiri with its heaving bazaar, reeking streets and brothels. Everyone in Nandagiri knows their place and the part they were born to play – with one exception.
The local Anglo-Indians, tainted by their mixed blood, belong . . . nowhere.
