Rushdie's Shame (1983) -- but I'm sure you've thought of that. It has a good 
discussion about the concept of Shame/sharam, in the context of an attack on 
his sister in London, if I recall correctly. It also deals with izzat. Also, 
you might wish to look at an interesting book by Ian Buruma, called Wages of 
Guilt, in which he deals with how Germany and Japan came to terms (or not) 
with WW II. That book deals with the guilt/shame dichotomy -- I realize your 
interest is South Asia, and WW II is removed from that, and yet....
