Go for Arundhati Roy. Start with books like 'The algebra of Infinite Justice' . U can get it on homeshop18 .

Best of luck . !

Jhumpa Lahiri

arundhati roy yeeesh . i say try first reading vikram seths poems and then read a suitable boy , its plotted in post independence india .very subtle plot and yet its good !

If you consider Manto as an Indian then there's no better Indian author than him. Go for his short stories you'll definitely like them.
Manto : Saadat Hasan Manto

Dr. Kalam, Deepak Chopra, Amitav Ghosh, Durjoy Dutta, Jhumpa Lahiri, Sudha Murthy, Rohit Sharma, R K Narayan, Ruskin Bond are a few I have read and admire. You might enjoy them.

Minus Durjoy Dutta from this list and you've my recommendation for you. :)

Anita Desai
Kiran Desai (in my opinion, better than her mother)
Hamid Mohsin
Amitav Ghosh
Amit Majmudar

Hello Suneeta, I read the plot of the book. It looks interesting. Will definitely read it. However I was wondering, do you also have a Hindi edition of this book ? There are many readers of Hindi in India but not many of the new writers are promoting their books in Hindi.

You can't go wrong with some of the better known ones like Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, Jhumpa Lahiri, Hamid Mohsin, Amitav Ghosh.

If you like literary/historical fiction (English), there's also lesser known writers like me :)

Gods, Kings & Slaves: The Siege of Madurai

Hey everyone! My debut novel published in May this year has received great reviews from both the media and readers- Never Say Never is a light, funny read about a girl who makes a list of things she'll never do but since life has a plan of its own, she does (or comes close to) breaking all her resolutions. She soon learns that you should never say never...Never Say Never

How About

Genre: Romance

The Book

"A Passionaate Gospel of True Love”

Dear Readers,

My second book, 12 HOURS, was released 2 months ago. It is a short story collection, all belonging to different genres. I have co-authored this book with Mahi Singla, and the stories are majorly based on social issues (mostly women related issues in our country).

Hi Ritesh,

I'd suggest R.K Narayan ..he is just simply wonderful.. try Malgudi Days or Bachelor Of Arts, Swami is an even better choice ..

Vikram Seth, Arundhati Roy, Manto, Amitav Ghosh, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Salman Rushdie. Rohinton Mistri, RK Narayan, Khushwant Singh...there are so many fabulous books I can hardly choose from them all.

I am just putting in all my favorite Indian Authors. You will have to look up the books .
1. Amitabh Ghosh.
2. Rohinton Mistry.
3. Ruskin Bond.
4. Jhumpa Lahiri.
4. V.S Naipaul (Indian Origin)
5. Hari Kunzru.
6. Satyajit Ray.
7. Salman Rushdie
8. Kushwant Singh
9. Manil Suri
10.Pankaj Mishra

You may like to read 'the Uncommon Memories of Zeenat Qureishi' my latest novel. It is a suspense Drama

It's me Rajeev Pundir author of a novel Even God Doesn't Know!
It's available on Flipkart.com and Infibeam.com
Enjoy.

Bollywood Through Ages

I would suggest:
1) Amish Tripathi
2) Jhumpa Lahiri
3) Kushwant Singh
4) Ruskin Bond

Hi !!! I would recommend The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh. It's woven though different generations, timelines and counties. I actually found it rather fascinating that how beautifully the author was able to blend in history, politics and romance...all in one book. I feel it's a great read!!! If you happen to read it, please share your thoughts on it! Ta!

I would strongly recommend Ruskin Bond and Jhumpa Lahiri.
Ruskin Bond's The Room on the Roof and Vagrants in the Valley is an awesome read and higly recommended.

I will recommend Khushwant Singh, Amitav Ghosh, Jhumpa Lahiri, Mahasweta Devi, Neel Mukherjee, Aatish Taseer for now

I would also recommend Sharath Komarraju and Shweta Taneja. Both promising new comers and write very good books in multiple genres, a welcome respite from all the campus love stories.

Check out Sharath's Murder in Amaravati, my favourite!

Hi all,
I'd really appreciate some Indians reading my short novel, Distant Cities. It is a love story and travel guide rolled into one, and the last third is set in India!

It’s an ebook on Amazon. Here are the links:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013...
http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B013V...

Here’s the blurb:
What if you met a stranger on a plane, and fell in love with them, then you went travelling for five months before you would see them again? Now he suggests a game -
“It’s simple,” he indicated reaching for her hand. “You travel, I travel, without telling each other of our destinations. We send updates to each a few days after we arrive in each city we are in. We are not allowed to tell the other where we are, or which country we are in, only a description of the place and the people.”
“But what if we are in the same city?”
“Then the one that works that out first gets to sneak up and surprise the other.”
Let the game begin!!!


Be good to you
Ben

Hi, I am Shohini. A writer friend got me introduced to Goodreads. An Indian who writes English poetry. Oh, it is actually free on Kindle just for today, 30th August, if you'd like to have a read. I See You in Your Eyes

Well, there are many renowned "Authors" in india like Chetan Bhagat, Amish Tripathi, Ravinder singh, Nikita Singh, Sudeep Nagarkar, sachin Garg,etc.
Along with this there are sone authors who are not famous, but there book is a worth giving a shot if you are looking for something different. Like The lost story by Amit gosh, DeadAlive by sandip Khade, etc.

An author I discovered last year : Indrajit Garai. He has written an excellent book : The seeker of well-being.

The Seeker of Well-Being

My review : https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Try Madhulika Liddle for Mystery
Brutal by Uday Satpathy
Indu Sundaresan
Sudhir Kakar
Manohar Malgonkar
Samit Basu for Fantasy
Deepika Ahlawat
Then there is a book, The Competent Authority...I forgot the name of the author.

There are many many more, tell me if you want more. The list is almost endless

If you like psychics and odd ball characters and wit, then I would suggest reading "Like a Pinprick to the heart" by Shujoy Dutta.
He's a debut author and the book has just come out.
It's a great read. The character voice is fresh and sarcastic - reminded me of Holden Caulfied from Catcher in the rye.

Simoquin Prophecies by Samit Basu if you're into fantasy. But only book 1& 2 were enjoyable, i lost interest midway through book 3.

I've heard good things about Shovon Chaudhury, but haven't personally read him yet.
