Thumbs up Indian gets Booker Prize
India's first time novelist Aravind Adiga today won the Man Booker Prize 2008 for his novel, The White Tiger.

Only two other debut novelists have achieved this in the past - D B C Pierre in 2003 for his novel Vernon God Little and India's Arundhati Roy in 1997 for The God of Small Things .

Adiga is the fourth Indian born-author to win the prize, joining compatriots Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai who won the prize in 1981, 1997 and 2006 respectively.

This is indeed a proud moment for India and Indian writers!.

lets celebrate.
