Hailed as a modern classic and as the work of a literary genius, Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, shows you the seedy side of Colaba’s bylanes and the dark world of drugs, dons and slums.

Shantaram, a modern picaresque story of ruffians and rascals, is actually the tale of an escaped convict and heroin addict from Australia.
