Haha. My answer got delayed too. Internet troubles -_-

Early Indian literature was, like most literature of the time, orally transmitted. We have had some great ancient Indian texts- mythology, autobiography, plays,  devotional poetry etc. Some of the more popular works of the time were the Mahabharata (a tale of a clan war between cousins but a lot more complicated than that :P), the Ramayana (the story of a just and virtuous king), several mythology and comedy plays and so forth. Earlier all writings were in an ancient Indian language called Sanskrit but later they started to be written in all languages be it Hindi, Urdu, Bengali or some other Indian Language. Around the 20th century people started writing in English as well. If you want to, you can read some Vyasa for ancient literature. Modern Indian literature has a lot of notable writers- rabindranath Tagore, Amitav Ghosh, Harivansh r. BACHCHAN or Ismat Chugtai.

Do you have any recommendations for Turkish Literature for me? I have read Rumi but any other you want to suggest?
