Hands down, Arundhati Roy. I read her book, The God Of Small Things and I have not been the same again!

Robin Sharma is my favorite Indian author (Some refer to him as Canadian writer, but his origin is in India.) when it comes to self-help books. In fiction authors, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni (She is also said to be an American author with Indian origin.)

Amish Tripathi tops the list for me! I couldn't stop myself from finishing the novels at one go. Shiva Trilogy is the best! However, I wasn't satisfied with the third part. Chetan Bhagat comes second for me. His writing style is more like screenplay writing. Like, he is sure it's going to be made into a film. I guess he is intentionally writing that way to decrease the burden for the screenplay writers.

I love Kamala Markandaya's works. She is quite underrated, in my opinion.

"My favorite Indian author is Arundhati Roy. Her exquisite prose and thought-provoking narratives captivate me. Roy's ability to weave intricate stories while addressing social and political issues is truly commendable. 'The God of Small Things' remains a masterpiece, showcasing her literary prowess. Her commitment to activism and fearless expression in both fiction and non-fiction further elevates her as a literary icon. Roy's work not only entertains but also challenges perspectives, making her my cherished choice among Indian authors."

I really like the author Ruskin Bond! He has stayed in the hilly regions in the northern part of India for almost the entirety of his lifetime, and still does!
The disappearance of the word "I am" is indeed the highest happiness! :)
