Best Romantic Novels by Indian Authors

We Indians are born romantics. Blame all those rain songs or the larger-than-life movies of Shahrukh Khan or perhaps the magnificent Taj Mahal, which was built by Shah Jahan for his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal. Even the ancient epic 'Ramayana' centred around the love story of Lord Rama and Sita. So it's only fair that we have some contemporary Indian romantic novels.

Indian novels have a huge following [well, we can thank our own population for it!] and though the writers do take certain liberties with the English language, they are mostly well written. Moreover, they provide an insight into the lives of people from various parts of India.

Though these novels are quite different from each other, the only thing that combines them is love. Come, find out the best romantic novels written by Indian authors. And let me warn you! The list gives a miss to some of the popular names. Read on.



Palette of Love by Ashok Kallarakkal



'Palette of Love' is a brilliant little book full of short stories, each one celebrating a different shade of love. Ashok Kallarakal, the author, seems to dabble in short genre and doesn't disappoint. Though all of them aren't romantic love stories, it does have that Indian vibe going for it.
