I have just finished reading an amazing novel titled "The India Experiment" written by SK Lindsay. It is honestly one of the best books I have read...hard to put down in words but have copied and pasted amazon.com description below:

"It has to be here. India. Supposedly the most chaotic, mystical, insane place on the planet. Karma, fate, destiny, a million gods. Science would prove it was all crap. Science would rule. It always does."
Is your entire life course predetermined from the day you are born, meant to be? Or does every second, every thought, every single choice have the potential to change the future forever?

One man goes to India to find the truth.

The Experiment:

What would happen if you gave an Indian beggar $100US?

Deep within the . fields of Udaipur, infamous young scientist Ryan Cartell gives a one-armed beggar $100US and traces the path of fate wherever it leads. The chain of events that follows takes Ryan on an extraordinary journey across the ravages of India, and into the battleground of his own mind.

For those who believe that things are meant to be, you may think twice before uttering those words ever again.

Read White Tiger recently, a great read too, puts forward the great theory of the "rooster coop"

Yes White Tiger is great, The India Experiment is a different sort of book. I think it is more geared towards the person who travels to India to find themselves but still a great read.

It's on my reading list Indialove thanks for the recommendation!

Yes I've read both, and liked them both for different reasons. White Tiger is simply brilliant. I liked The India Experiment because it was different to any other book I've read before. I'm not sure if it's a true story or not, but it seems to be an intensely personal story of a guy battling with India, and battling with his own beliefs about the world. So if you like that grit-real personal view of India, then I think you'll like it.

Midnight's Children has to be the best Indian book ever though doesn't it? I really liked Family Matters (Rohinton Mistry) too.
