Not sure if he's technically considered "Indian literature" but I like VS Naipaul. Never see him mentioned here. Actually, I just finished A House for Mr Biswas today & I thought it was very good. The first story in his sequence In a Free State is about an Indian man who comes to America and it's super dark and depressing (the whole book is, really).

Sri Aurobindo

>Hare Krishna translation
That's like reading the Jehovah's Witnesses version of the Bible.
The WJ Johnson translation is cheap and accurate, I'd say that's a good choice. This chart has some Hindu stuff, but I'd recommend the Kathasaritasagara for good Indian story writing.
