Interpreter of Maladies: Stories - Jhumpa Lahiri (1999 Pulitzer Prize Winner) She breathes unpredictable life into the page, and the reader finishes each story reseduced, wishing he could spend a whole novel with its characters. (The New York Times Book Review, July 11, 1999)	The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy The God of Small Things is nominally the story of young twins Rahel and Estha and the rest of their family, but the book feels like a million stories spinning out indefinitely; it is the product of a genius child-mind that takes everything in and transforms it in an alchemy of poetry.
Karma Cola : Marketing the Mystic East - Gita Mehta This is an old book, but an Indian's take on the hippie generation of the 70's combined with the fact that the book is extremely well written ("witty", "sad", "hilarious",...) makes the book a fascinating read even now.	Train to Pakistan -  Khuswant Singh Khushwant Singh, one of India's most widely read and celebrated AUTHORs, makes his readers share the individual problems of loyalty and responsibility faced by the principal figures in a little village on the frontier between India and Pakistan where the action takes place.
A Suitable Boy : A Novel - Vikram Seth  A thick slice-of-life novel follows the destinies of four large families in turbulent postcolonial India in the fifties, where Hindu, Muslim, and Westerner clash while a general election promises to transform the political landscape. .	The Great Indian Novel - Shashi Tharoor A clever novel by Sashi Tharoor where events and characters of the Mahabharata are transposed to the political climate (and events and characters) of the initial phase of Indian democracy.
