It is very difficult to select 10 Books From Indian Authors in any category. Because every author has its unique style of conceptualization and presentation. In fact, every author has its own vision and canvas. Various colors on the canvas of a writer are story, conceptualization, style etc. With the help of which he paints and presents his book to its readers. I am listing below 10 books from Indian authors. I feel they use these colors in their own unique style to win the game of writing:

The Colour of Dawn by Janaki Murali has an impactful story. Even though I have read many books after completing this book the story, being quite impacting, is still there in my mind, fresh!. The story is about various colors of love, hate, and fear. Sita finds two lovers in her life – one who is over-possessive and can harm anyone including Sita to get her. The other, who brought happiness in her life, without demanding much, but rather focusing more on giving what she needed. The first lover created a fear in her mind, heart, and life.

This fear lingers on, disturbing her, torturing her, and ruining her peaceful life. In fact, it keeps happening for a good number of years of her married life. Later, It is her daughter who motivates her. She, in fact, encourages her and forces her to settle old scores once for all. So that the fear goes away once for all.

It tells that the most powerful and strong love in everyone’s life is the love with death.

Ajaya by Anand Neelakantan: Ajaya is the story based on greatest Indian epic Mahabharata but with an entirely different perspective. In fact, History is as much of truth as is depicted by its presenter. That is what is it about. It is the story of Duryodhana who is the main villain of Mahabharata. But Ajaya reflects him as a positive person driven wrongly by circumstances. Due to this he has been presented totally as a wrong man. By almost all the writers so far while telling about Mahabharata.
