Vikas Swarup gave the following reply in an interview, which I think sums up the answer to your question:

"In India, your name instantly becomes a label which reveals a lot about you, and I wanted my protagonist to transcend the narrow divisions of religion and region. So I gave him this all-encompassing name - Ram Mohammad Thomas. Now no one can say he is Hindu or Muslim or Christian. Is he from the North or the South. He is, in a sense, 'India'."
