Response to Babyji in India
Since Babyji was released I've been asked at every reading what the reception of the book has been in India. The novel was finally released in India earlier this month and reviews are beginning to appear.
India Today, July 18, 2005 says: Like Lolita, Babyji describes with complete lack of restraint the details of Anamika's sexual escapades knowing fully well that they will be judged reprehensible by many. But like many "scandalous" novels, it is a very pointed investigation of morality and perhaps a call to refresh the "rule book".
The Telegraph, Calcutta calls it a significant new novel. Mumbai's Mid-Day also has a review. You'll need to scroll down the site for these two.

congratulations, you must be thrilled...here's wishing you continued success.
It's a fantastic book. It's good to see some positive reviews coming from India. I lived in Mumbai for a while. I don't think Indians give themselves quite enough credit. They're often more open-minded than they realize. I hope Babyji does exceptionally well, worldwide!
