India, being a nation of ‘Unity In Diversity’ these professional writers face different challenges while expressing their thought processes in various cultural activities even though they differ marginally.

Besides the above referred Indian writers, there are many such writers available in India who are less known due to poor exposure at the National level. There are innumerable regional writers who are engaged in the prominent local newspapers as well as the local publishers. Indian writers have the advantage of knowing many languages and their proficiency in English is highly laudable at the global level.
Some of the writers are found to be too good in making their contributions in English, Hindi as well as the regional languages. Being a multi-linguistic nation, India has always taken pride in the works of these great writers who not only contributes to literature but also on other fascinating subjects such as arts, science fiction and so on.
