Top 10 Books by R. K. Narayan – The Guide
The Guide focuses on a former India corrupt tourist guide named Raju. Just released from prison Raju seeks refuge in a vacant temple. He is mistaken as a holy man. Raju plays the assumed role so well. God himself intervenes to put Raju's newfound sacredness to the test. This book won Narayan the National Prize of the Indian Literary Academy.
The title of the book suggests a metaphor for the marital experience of women. The story primarily focuses on the sensitive and intelligent Savitri. She is burdened with an unfaithful unsupportive husband and three insensitive children whom she loves unconditionally. It shows how patriarchal men damages family and the upbringing of children. The story accurately presents how women and children have to take permission from men before taking any action. Unfortunately, the notion that "women must be taught their place" is still very much prevalent.
10 Best Books by R. K. Narayan – Swami and Friends
Swami is the story of 10-year-old Swami. The story involves Swami from the fictional town of Malgudi, his father, and his three friends. The innocence of Swami and his friends is heart-touching. The primary theme of this story is relationships.

Each chapter of this deals with a new schoolboy, exams, holidays, political protests, riots, and more.
For the sign painter named Raman life is a satisfying routine. He is a man of rational and simple ways who lives with his pious aunt and prides himself on his creativity. But, all of that changes when Raman meets independent young Daisy who wished to bring birth control to the area. Raman finds himself smitten with this unfathomable love and soon realizes that life is not just a routine.
Top 10 Books by R. K. Narayan – Waiting for the Mahatma
This story is a remarkable insight into the rise of Indian nationalism as witnessed by the two primary characters of the book, Sriram and Bharati. The evolution of Sriram into his manhood is bewildering for him. He worships the witty, infuriating, and wonderful Bharati. Bharati's loyalty first belongs to Mahatma. On the other hand, though Sriram is inspired by Gandhi, he gets easily influenced by the patriots such as a terrorist named Jagadish.
The Bachelor of Arts is about the young days of a Brahmin man named Chandran. The story takes us through his flirting with asceticism, his love for a girl, college life, then his evolution through marriage and employment. Each character is brilliantly portrayed – the humorous and friendly British Principal, the crazy nationalist poet, and Chandran's father's obsession with the garden flowers.
