I think Chetan Bhagat gets way more stick than he deserves. The truth is, he writes and India reads. Most of his criticism stems from the purists or the "hard-core literature fans" who can’t stand the fact that he is the most popular writer from India. Yes, his writing style is nothing compared to a Rohinton Mistry or a Khaled Hosseini, but someone who is selling so much must be doing something right. And he is.
