Swatee Surve asked Indu Sundaresan:

How did you decide to do historical fiction?

Indu Sundaresan I think--and I'm thinking back to when I first started writing--it was because I could read for research, and recreate entire worlds anew in my novels. Characters tend to be the same, in contemporary or historical fiction, in that our motives are the same, our wants and needs similar. But, the world we live in now, and worlds before us, are different.
