Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 02:47:19 PDT Dear Sangita, I'm not sure if you are looking for critical texts or works of fiction, but that's because I'm no a po-co academic :-) Anyway, I don't know if the text is accessible, but you might want to seek out Shakespeare Ki Ram-Leela, a play in Hindi written by Iqbal Khwaja, which retold Romeo and Juliet in the format of a Ram-Leela. The play was staged in Bombay in mid-1980s, and predictably, the Shiv Sena had objected. Also, as regards detective fiction by authors from the UK, set in India, I'm sure you've considered HRF Keating's Inspector Ghote series. Merchant-Ivory made one of the works into a film, called The Perfect Murder.
