Writer, columnist Aatish Taseer seems to have upset Chetan Bhagat. Bhagat tweets: So @aatishtaseer says foreigners don't read CB (so he's bad). btw, my intl translations pic."

Bhagat refers to the Taseer's interview with Rediff.com where he says, and we quote, "In other countries when they are having kind of a moment in which they are writing about significant things, you see some great literature come out.

"Chetan Bhagat is not great literature.

"So maybe, like, the Indian moment is not such an exciting moment. I mean, he represents an extraordinary phenomenon where he's writing about things everyone wants to read about.

"The material is good, he writes in a language that everyone can read but no one wants to read them outside India."
