Episode 19: Recommending Indian Fiction because it deserves its moment too!

As a reader in India, I'm kinda guilty of making blanket statements like "There's no good Indian Fiction works". And at the time just because of a stunning lack of awareness, i just knew two spectrums- massy (didnt enjoy the stories or writing) and classy (which felt wildly inaccessible because they weren't themes I enjoyed). It was only when I decided to write that I started down the rabbit hole of Indian Fiction writing and realised that there's some stunning works out there in every genre. In this week's episode I share some of my favourite desi fiction books across the triller, memoir and mythological fiction genres. Books I talk about in this episode: 1. Kanpur Khoofiya Pvt. Ltd by Richa Mukherjee 2. Club you to death by Anuja Chauhan 3. The Fast and the Dead by Anuja Chauhan 4. Truck De India by Rajat Ubhaykar 5. The Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi 6. Ram- Scion of Ikshvaku by Amish Tripathi 7. Sita- Warrior of Mithila by Amish Tripathi 8. Raavan- The Enemy of Aryavarta by Amish Tripathi 9. War of Lanka by Amish Tripathi 10. Chanakya's Chant by Ashwin Sanghi 11. Krishna Key by Ashwin Sanghi 12. The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder by CL Miller 13. Everyone on this Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson
