Hailed by critics as the “Philip Roth of India” Inderjit Badhwar blends lucidity, humour and emotion with a rare mastery. Badhwar’s first novel, partly autobiographical in nature, is a classic, and since its release in India, it has been among the best sellers. Inderjit Badhwar was born in the heart of rural India in the 1940’s. In 1968, after a liberal western education in the country’s elite institutions such as the Doon School and St. Stephen’s college, he settled in the United States where, after
an Ivy League degree from Columbia University, he worked as an editor and journalist for major American newspapers, magazines and TV stations.
