I have a fascination with Indian culture, and I love reading books that are set in India though I have not had the opportunity to read many, those I have, I really quite enjoyed. I loved Passage to India by Forester, and Kim by Kippiling. I took a class once about the history of India and read this wonderful autobiographical work called Punjabi Century and it traced the life of the author Parakash Tandon and we also had this anthology that was a collection of essays and poetry written by Indian writers which was quite interesting. As well right now in my Child Lit. Class we are reading a Young Adult book called Sold that is about the life of this girl who starts out in Nepal but ends up in India and I enjoyed Son of the Circus by Irving.
So I am interested in any recommendations on books about India and/or set in India, by both Indian and Non-Indian authors.
