Insanely Indian: A Novel

By Ayesha Chawla Raj

Insanely Indian is a political romance, which captures the human need for being rooted and asserting one's identity. It is a story about love and marriage, divorce and life after it, parenthood, and “Indian-ness” in contemporary times. Follow Aanya’s journey as an educated, affluent Indian woman living in London, who finds that her husband is determined to express his patriotism towards India, and her son to express his religious identity in London. Being a dutiful Indian daughter, Aanya remains deeply attached to her family in India, even though she has not lived there for two decades. Insanely Indian is about the connectedness of the “global Indian” to India, to one's past, and it brings to the forefront the cycle of continuous expectations faced by the global Indian from family and society in India.
