...love him or hate him, but Chetan Bhagat's big contribution to Indian publishing has been to bring out of the woodwork a whole segment of readers that publishers had traditionally believed never existed," says the agent Chatterjee.

You are seven times more likely to die of an alcohol-related accident or ailment and, if you're a woman, twice as likely to be raped. "If you had the same social indicators in some parts of mainland France, the bomb would already have gone off," says Thierry de la Grange, director of the Réunion Development Monitor, a consultancy...
