    • Abstract:
      The article examines Indian literature's lack of international reach despite the fact that India is the sixth largest book market in the world. It cites several literary subjects tackled by Indian literature, including the peaceful and sometimes violent coexistence between Christians, Muslims, Jains, Sikhs and Hindus. It also mentions several problems in importing Indian crime novels such as the often-unusual phrasings in the Indian's version of written English.
