I will not recommend Rushdie because I don't like him, and I didn't like The God of Small Things either (but many do).įor a very readable book that is both a personal memoir and has some favourite recipes, try Shoba Narayan's Monsoon Diary (my mother swears it is as authentic as they come): Mark Tully's "No Full Stops in India" is anecdotal and amusing, and written from the heart. It is charming, to say the least:įor a nuanced, sensitive and very readable introduction to Delhi, try City of Djinns by William Dalrymple. I also thoroughly enjoyed "Chasing the Monsoon" by Alexander Frater. It is not a voluminous book, and provides a real insight into what makes India tick: Based directly upon the experiences of its author, Shantaram is the story of a man who escapes from a maximum security prison in Australia to arrive in Bombay. ![]() As an introduction to India, I think the best book I have read in recent times is "Being Indian" by Pavan Varma.
