"Boku-to 1-rupee-no Kamisama" by Vikas Swarup

Vikas Swarup is an Indian diplomat. He wrote this book, while he worked in England. The original title is "Q and A", but the Japanese version has a completely different title; "Boku-to 1-rupee-no Kamisama" or "God's 1 rupee and I" if we directly translate it back into English.

This story contains many problems occurring in India, and is planned to be a movie.
