Slumdog Millionaire, a novel by Vikas Swarup

Q & A or Slumdog Millionaire is a novel by Vikas Swarup, an Indian diplomat. Published in 2005, it was the author's first novel. Set in India, it tells the story of Ram Mohammad Thomas, a young waiter who becomes the biggest quiz show winner in history, only to be sent to jail on accusations that he cheated. In 2008, the book was adapted into the multiple Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire. The autor says that he got the idea for the book after watching the popular TV show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? He thought that it would be interesting if an uneducated street boy won the top prize that would be accused of cheating.
