- Comment: About the photo. This The Hindu article uses some photo which i don't think matches with File:Anurag looking at the camera.jpg. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 07:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Four references in National newspapers, one exclusively about him. The photograph was dubious, but the article seems legitimate. --Anbu121 (talk me) 08:56, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep His novel, "The Inscrutable Americans" is a cult classic and a subject of discussion in many a conversation over coffee (despite how much the novel might be disliked by critics). It is notorious for its honesty, spontaneity and rustic humour. There are many one-novel authors with Wikipedia pages (Arundhati Roy and G. V. Desani for example) -- so that should not be a reason for deletion. The photo is fake or of his younger self (thus outdated). His novel is read and discussed in online lists and boards (like "sasialit" for example). He is reviewed in the book, "Critical Essays on Indian Writing in English" by Jaydipsinh Dodiya [1] -- mowglee 12:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
