I don't think this list has got anything to do with the ranking or quality of books.At the most it just gives an option to the readers to choose a book written by debut Indian authors.Since most of the publishers do not promote books written by newbies their work don't even stand a chance to be noticed or evaluated. So readers be aware! You have to choose a book at your own risk and don't rely on the ranking which has no value at all.

Hi everyone,

I have created a new group called Goodreads All Sorts and I'd love for people to join it or just even just give it a look. It's a group that discusses anything and everything. There will be monthly group reads, movies, and music. There is a folder for everything you could think of. I'd really like if people could spread the word because I'd love for the group to be a success. Here is the link to the group:

Thanks very much,
Jack :-)

It seems a few of the titles I added previously have been deleted, while they were all fiction and all by Indian authors. Whoever deleted them, didn't mention deleting them (as they should have done, really).

As a librarian myself, I really would like to see a message in a comment box by whoever is deleting books, to indicate which books have been deleted.... Just common courtesy.
