India is covered in grief
“I have never seen anything on this scale of pandemic pain,” says Shah Alam Khan, an orthopedic oncologist and professor at the Indian Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi. “Before, you saw the number of dead people hiding. Now, there are the names. Each of us knows someone who has been carried away by a hideout. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know someone who’s dead. “
Alone in Khan’s hospital, the doctor sees them overwhelmed with grief as they fall apart. Recently, after an unsuccessful eighth resuscitation attempt, a colleague killed himself in his office. It’s a death that Khan speaks quietly about: he admits he hasn’t surrounded his head yet.

Jasmin Kaur’s second novel
If I Tell You The Truth follows the intersecting stories of Kiran, a Punjabi Sikh teenager who becomes pregnant after being sexually assaulted by her fiancé’s brother, and, eighteen years later, her daughter Sahaara, who speaks out against the powerful man who raped her mother. The book addresses immigration, rape culture in South Asia and the diaspora, and relationships between girls and women. “Our lives are seldom one topic,” Kaur tells ELLE.com. “We are many things all at once. It s the interlocking nature of all of these different themes that shape our lives. That’s what [the book is] about unraveling the layers of oppression and trauma that shaped the lives of this specific Punjabi mother and daughter, but also so many other families.”
