Question

Who was the first person of Indian origin to win a Booker Prize?

Answer 1

LONDON, OCT. 10, 2006--Kiran Desai has won the 2006 Man Booker Prize for her novel, "The Inheritance of Loss." At 35, she is the youngest woman to win the Booker.

Answer 2

Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie (born June 19, 1947) is an Indian-British novelist and essayist. He first achieved fame with his second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), which won the Booker Prize. Much of his early fiction is set at least partly on the Indian subcontinent.

Midnight's Children (1981) catapulted him to literary fame. It also significantly shaped the course that Indian writing in English would follow over the next decade. This work won the 1981 Booker Prize and, in 1993, was awarded the Booker of Bookers as the best novel to have received the prize during its first 25 years. It still receives accolades for being Rushdie's best, most flowing and inspiring work.
