Some odd conversation with Bottle Imp started me thinking. Who is my favourite character in Indian writing in English? I don't know! It should be shocking but it isn't... what characters has IWE thrown up so far that you feel attached to them afterwards... as if they meant anything.
My responses surprised me a bit.
Akilan of No Onions Nor Garlic ranked very high.
YoungUncle from Vandana Singh's series
Toby from one of the short stories in Nalini Jones' What you call Winter
Sartaj Singh from Vikram Chandra's Love and Longing in Bombay
Bharat from Kavery Nambisan's The Truth about Bharat (Almost)
The cook in Kalpana Swaminathan's Page Three Murders
Thin, thin, thin pickings...
Which ones are yours?
Meanwhile: I love Patricia but really! I mean really!!
