lead me into knowledge .. ahem

my list .. here it goes .. i recommend this to every indian who reads .. hey guys we should give some time to our very own authors .. attached to Kolkata or Bihar each one of these is a gem of a writer .. the style may vary from meticulous to rustic .. slick to sober .. but each one is damn good ..

Just like u cant live without each member of a family .. though how much different among themselves they may be .. each genre has a "dna" of its own .. the old raj system .. forlorn forts .. 55% agrarian community .. middle class values and wat not .. the soup has everything .. so very indian .. so very intense .. so very close to heart .. thats how i find these writing ..
here goes the grammy of our very own --

1.Vikram Seth - A suitable Boy
2.Arundhati Roy - God Of Small Things(97)
3.Salman Rushdie - Midnight's Children(Booker , Booker of Booker's 93)
4.Kiran Desai - Inheritance Of Loss(Man - Booker 06)
5.Amitav Ghosh - Circle of reason
6.Amitav Ghosh - The Shadow Lines
7.Amitav Ghosh - The Calcutta Chromosome(96)
8.Upamanyu Chatterjea - English August: An Indian Story
9.Rohinton Mistry's - Such a Long Journey(90)
10.Rohinton Mistry's - A Fine Balance(96)
11.Jhupa Lahiri - Interpreter of Maladies(99)
12.Raj Kamal Jha - The Blue Bedspread(2000
13.Raj Kamal Jha -If You Are Afraid of Heights(2003
14.Amit Chaudhuri - A Strange and Sublime
15.Amit Chaudhuri -Afternoon Raag
