Indian writers in English generally write for international readers. Arundathi wanted to show through The God of all Small Things that there is untouchability even in Christianity. Untouchability is what by the way missionaries profess to remove through conversions.

I hear that her book "God of little things." I think is good. But based on reading some of her other stuff, I'm not her biggest fan.

"Estha, Rahel now speak Malayalam"
Many translations
There have been translations in several languages, including Estonian. “But no other translation is as important to me as this.” For, it is the language of Estha, Rahel, Ammu and Velutha, the novel's central characters.
The novel get its Malayalam translation, ‘ Kunju kaaryangalude odaya thampuran,' by short-story writer A.S. Priya, 15 years after it was first published. In a question-and-answer session between the author and the translator at the book release ceremony, Ms. Roy recounted her feelings about the novel.
