Here's the link to my challenge if you want to give it a look: /topic/show/...
Will you open also here on Indian Readers a discussion for your challenge? I would like it so I can snoop in it and look for some good suggestions. Oh, please, do it!

Happy new year.
I've challenged myself to read a bunch of books from every Indian state this year. (New year resolution)

Wish you too a happy and prosperous NY, Vicky!
I would recommend Munshi Premchandji's 'Godaan'. I find the style of writing a lot like R.K.Narayan. He is from UP.
I would also recommend Gulshan Nanda's 'Kati Patang'. I enjoyed reading this novel and I'm of the view that it has one of the best characterisation. He is from Bihar.
Enjoy your reading! :)

I was feeling all alone. I'll have a look see at your challenge and sneak a few titles fr..."
It isn't difficult. Go in this folder: /topic/group... and click on "new topic".
In the same folder you can find the reading-progress or challenges of the other members of this group.
I hope my explanation was helpful!

Here are some suggestions from me
Nagaland - When the River Sleeps - I am currently reading this book and enjoying it much
Uttarakhand - many of Ruskin Bond's writing is based in and around Dehradun
West Bengal - Those Days - if you are up for an epic read. The Hungry Tide also is super good
Punjab - Train to Pakistan
Rajasthan - Cuckold
Best of luck on your challenge. Looking forward to see what you would read.

My roots trace back to Bihar and your challenge really got me curious. I wanted to search if there were any good works based in that part of the country ( specially in English ).
I would recommend you read 'a dance of death' by Manna Bahadur.
Here's her page - /book/show/1...
TBH i can't assure you how the story is but it has got decent ratings. Also, Times of India wrote an article on her work :
Well, hope it helps. :) Happy reading!
Ps: I checked out your blog and loved it. Good work! ^_^
