Here's an introduction for a writer: This writer, a well known Indian author, has caught people's interest with his good stories and smart looks at what it means to be human. His writing started by looking at the hard parts of today's life. This made him a big name in today's Indian writing. His first book, "The Opium Clerk" (2001), which takes place in Calcutta in the 1800s, got him noticed right away. It was on the short list for the Crossword Book Award. Many people liked it because of its clear writing and how much it knew about history. Later books, like "The Miniaturist" (2003), which looks at art and who people are, and "The Yellow Emperor's Cure" (2008), a scary story about medical rules and new discoveries, made him even more famous. His book "Kalkatta" (2015), which shows the bad side of the city through a young man, shows how well he can make complicated stories and interesting people. This writer's writing is easy, funny, and shows that he knows a lot about how people get along. Another writer said his work was "new and different."

He is still a big name in Indian writing.
