How essential for school children aiming to learn creative writing is reading a Chetan Bhagat book?


“One can’t say it is essential for school children to read Chetan Bhagat. It is unfair to compare him to the stalwarts of English literature or even pop fiction. I am not saying he is better or worse than Shaw or Salinger. But in his own context, he has made a sizeable contribution to the culture of reading fiction in India.”
