The Non-awardees: Writers who have published numerous books and have received no awards for their literary efforts. They would like to protest against the rising tide of intolerance but lacking an award they can return and get their name in newspaper headlines, it leaves them stranded in no-man’s land. Chetan Bhagat even tweeted about this. The non awardees have now formed an association, SLAP (Society for Lack of Literary Prize) to protest against having nothing to protest.
