It's amazing for authors who can earn with your work...India mein market hi nhi hai
Yes. India me fiction ka utna craze nahi hai. But... Baahar bahut craze hai. Aaj bhi fiction novels bahut bikti hai. Log padhte hai. India ke log bhi buy karte hai, padhte hai. Dikkat hai Indian authors ki jo koi trong fictional world provide nahi kara paa rahe.
Even jo bhi fanatsy wale hai vo sab purane texts ko likhte rhete hai...aur shi bhi hai...kyuki ab hamare dad ke Umar ke log toh whi padhenge...aage dekhte hai kya hota hai. But I do think there's a scope for Indian fantasy market in future, rate at which indians are getting influenced by West just look at movies these days they are trying hard to do the CGI and all and move from trad drama.
Mahabharata wagarah se inspire hona achhi baat hai but aap wahj refrences har baar nahi ghused sakte. Ek proper world chaahiye, ek proper plotline chaahiye. Tab jaake Indian fiction kuchh kamaal kar sakti hai.
Mujhe pata hai indian authors kya gadbadi karte hai. Wo fully Indian culture me ghus ke puraane asuras aur rakshas ka refrence leke aate hai, uspe stories banaate hai. (Like bhramastra and all) but ye sirf indian audience tak hi reach kar sakta hai.
Kitne foreign ke book reviewers honge jo bhramastra ki original book ko padh ke uski waah waahi kar rahe honge YT pe?
Less than 1%? Or maybe none?
That's the problem. Story aisi honi chahiye jo globally tehelka macha de. Farq nahi padna chahiye ki kaun se religion ke log use padh rahe hai, unhe samajh aayega ya nahi. World building aur plot aisa hona chahiye jo hila ke rakh de.
Jo mostly Indian authors karne me fail ho jaate hai. They fail at both. World building me bhi aur storyline me bhi.
Na hi wo himmat kar paate hai long projects pe ab. They need to understand ki jitna aap history me jaa ke references ka use kar ke jitna rakshas and asuras ye sab laoge, jitna ye dikhaane ki koshish karoge ki ye Indian work hai utna hi ye fail hoga.
Solution ye hai ki you have to blend it within the world building. Kuchh mat batao ki kahani me Indian refrences hai ya characters ke naam Indian waale hai. Kuchh mat batao.
Global scale rakho. Alag alag religions ka istemal karo aur blend karo. Tab beech me kahi Indian refrences ko ghusedo plot me taaki aisa na lage ki wo work heavily Indian inspired hai. Only that way it can work. (Of course, world building aur main plot pe hi sab kuchh nirbhar karega afterwards.)
Ye mera maanana hai jitna maine book world ko abhi tak dekha aur observe kiya hai.
Jaise taise ab bas ise iske ant tak pahuchaana hai.
No need to stress out cause of it, take a break if you want to, recharge the batteries and complete your masterpiece
