Indian Literature Books

India has a distinct literary history and tradition dating back more than 3,000 years. Although Indian English literature has a relatively short history, it is rich in award-winning and critically acclaimed masterpieces that no book lover should miss. To get you started on your reading journey, we've compiled a list of books by Indian authors who have had a significant impact on the development of the country's literature.

White Tiger:

Arvind Adiga's debut novel, which won the Man Booker Prize, was widely praised for its fresh perspective on social class disparities and contradictions in contemporary India. The storey is told in the first person by Balram Halwai, a young man from a poor small village who moves to Delhi to work as a chauffeur for the elite.

Nectar In A Sieve:

Shashi Tharoor's satirical novel recreates the Hindu epic Mahabharata within the context of the Indian Independence Movement and the decades that followed, becoming one of the most exciting reads in contemporary Indian literature. Tharoor's work, which recasts figures from India's freedom struggle and politics as mythological characters from a 2,000-year-old epic, is a powerful read regardless of your familiarity with the country.

Train To Pakistan:

Khushwant Singh's historical Indian book, published in 1956, was widely praised for bringing a human perspective to the partition of British India into India and Pakistan. While most accounts of the partition at the time were primarily political in nature, Singh recounted the event in terms of human loss and horror. Train to Pakistan is a must-read for anyone interested in Indian literature or history.

Literature about Black Indians in America

This project examines topics of country, culture, and performativity and is the first book-length examination of the figure of the Black Indian in American Literature.

English literature from India

It will even be thought-provoking to general readers who are interested in English literature.
