This is an ongoing list of historical fiction by writers of South Asian origin and available in the US. For the most part, this is literary historical fiction that involves real people or real events from more than at least 50 years ago. The goal is simply to share the rich, diverse, shared ancient history of South Asia, which often gets forgotten by critics and editors when discussing historical fiction as a genre. If you cannot find a book here that should be, it's likely because it has not been added to Bookshop's website. Please ask your publisher to submit the book. If it's on here and not on the list, please send a message. Thank you.
