You could try Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. It's a long read but he captures the essence of India and its people brilliantly.

He's an escaped Australian prisoner and heroin addict and the first part of the book is supposed to be autobiographical- the second half doesn't quite match up to the first for me but it's an interesting and engrossing read.
