Re: Hindu/Indian Fiction?
Namasté,
Webimpulse, I'm afraid that I chose to read Meluha on a trip, and got a few strange looks after chortling aloud - I honestly couldn't help it - when Sati shrieked, "IT IS A BIG DEAL!!" The whole thing was too ridiculous to keep my laughter inside anymore. After that I was mentally attaching emoticons to all of the characters' dialogue:
"He is the Neelkanth. "
"Why didn't you tell us about all this? "
I'm paraphrasing on those last two; I don't remember the book in that much detail. Anyway, it is high in lulzability. (Which saddens me as I can't imagine how non-Hindus would view Hinduism after reading it.)
I hope you enjoy what you find. The Divakaruni is widely available, the Mathur and Buck are not hard to acquire; I had to order the other two after a fruitless search locally (in Canada).
