Any books written by Indian Authors?

K, so

Umm..I know a couple of young adult ones, they're young adult fiction..i think!

there's one that's called "Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet" ,Blue Jasmine, and there was something else..I can't remember the name. 😆sorry!

the culture is definitely mentioned and a pretty important topic as well but the plot is kind of different-ish.

One of the most common Indian author's I've seen in libraries here is Jhumpa Lahiri

you should read 'a fine balance', its fantastic!

About 4 people whos lives you read about as individuals and then see how their lives entwine through India's years between the 1940s and 1970s

There are quite a few Indian authors that I've heard of, though I'm not sure about their books. Arundhati Roy (I think?), Shoba Dey (De? Dey?), and R. K. Narayan. I studied Narayan's The English Teacher for Literature in 9th grade and admittedly it was a little boring...Maybe his other works are more interesting? IDK...

Hope it helped! *hugs* :D

Love,
Bhav (:

here are some indian writers but I believe all of them live in America now. But, beside their names r some books I read by them. Enjoy =)

Kashmira Sheth - Blue Jasmine, Keeping Corner, Koyal Dark Mango Sweet

Shobhan Bantwal - The Forbidden Daughter

Anjali Banerjee - Imaginery Men

Chitra Banerjee Dinvakaruni - Sister of my heart and the sequel is called the Vine of Desire
