Recent writers in India such as Arundhati Roy, Sanjeev Kumar Solanki and David Davidar show a direction towards contextuality and rootedness in their works. Arundhati Roy, a trained architect and the 1997 Booker prize winner for her "The God of Small Things", calls herself a "home grown" writer. Her award-winning book is set in the immensely physical landscape of Kerala. Davidar sets his "The House of Blue Mangoes" in Southern Tamil Nadu. In both the books, geography and politics are integral to the narrative. In his novel Lament of Mohini (2000), Shreekumar Varma touches upon the unique matriarchal system and the "sammandham" system of marriage as he writes about the Namboodiris and the aristocrats of Kerala. Similarly, Arnab Jan Deka, a trained engineer and jurist, writes about both physical and ethereal existentialism on the banks of the mighty river Brahmaputra. His co-authored book of poetry with British poet-novelist Tess Joyce, appropriately titled "A Stanza of Sunlight on the Banks of Brahmaputra" (1983), published from both India and Britain (2009), evokes the spirit of flowing nature of life. His most recent book "Brahmaputra and Beyond : Linking Assam to the World"(2015) made a conscious effort to connect to a world divided by racial, geographic, linguistic, cultural and political prejudices. His highly acclaimed short story collection "The Mexican Sweetheart & other stories"(2002) was another landmark book of this genre. Jahnavi Barua, a Bangalore-based author from Assam has set her critically acclaimed collection of short stories "Next Door" on the social scenario in Assam with insurgency as the background.
