Author Aravind Adiga, whose debut novel The White Tiger won the 2008 Man Booker Prize, spoke to BBC Radio:
These places they picked are rich with symbolic significance. But part of what life in Mumbai has taught me – and I’ve seen previous terror attacks here – is that the city is extremely resilient and bounces back very, very quickly.
On the morning after the attacks I was driving past the very heart of Mumbai, an open space, a playground that we call the Oval. I saw a group of boys – they looked like homeless kids – who had set up a cricket pitch, they hammered a twig down in the ground and that was the wicket.
That really struck me as symbolising the Mumbai spirit – they didn’t care about what was happening, they wanted to play cricket in the morning.
