Amitav Ghosh was shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize for 'Sea of Poppies'. Aravind Adiga won that year for 'The White Tiger'. Salman Rushdie has won the Booker (1981 for 'Midnight's Children') but was not shortlisted in 2008. Kiran Desai won in 2006.

Amitav Ghosh was shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize for his novel "Sea of Poppies," the same year Aravind Adiga won for "The White Tiger." This makes Ghosh the correct choice among Indian novelists in that year's shortlist race.
