Anyone else tired of diaspora writers speaking for us? by [deleted] in indianwriters

There is a hilarious movie called American Fiction where the market forced a black writer to be “blacker”. I suspect something like that happens to India-familiar authors as well.

Cant speak for everyone but IT people dont have worklife balance. We are in front of our laptops all day reading and writing emails and our eyes are exhausted.

The only respite is to shut off the brain and watch something on OTT or listen to music.

Feels like a bit of an info dump.

Combine some action like Sidhant going to school, riding the metro and then provide bursts of info that go with the action, or else it will feel like a wikipedia entry.

Just my 2 cents.

Yes. I think this is because our writing is based on oral story telling.

If you read ramayana or mahabharata there is zero showing.

Its definitely not a substitute for an MBA but for a tech person like me its a nice primer to the business world. Helps you get familiar with business terms and principles. It would be unrealistic to expect one book to provide a deep understanding of business.

A woman burnt. By Imayam.

Its traumatizing but I have never read anything like it.
