Heat and Dust is the winner of 1985 Booker Prize. The title suggests that life in India has nothing but heat and dust. The novelist, indeed, has found appalling poverty and illiteracy, yet life in India is not without its inherent greatness- “There are many ways of loving India, many things to lover her for – the scenery, the history, the poetry, the music, and indeed the physical beauty of the men and women”.
