Indian poets, besides Kamala Das, who are well known in India are:
Nissim Ezekiel; Keki Daruwala, Arun Kolatkar; Shiv K Kumar; Jayant
Mahapatra; Arvind k. Mehrotra; R. Parthasarathy; Gieve Patel; A. K.
Ramanujan; Dom Moraes; Dilip Chitre; Eunice de Souza; Adil Jussawalla;
Vilas Sarang; Sallem Peeradina; Manohar Shetty; Santan Rodrigues; and
Darius Cooper.
Nissim Ezekiel was the most prominent and, I would say, the pioneer of
Indian English Poetry.
Of course there are many more upcoming poets whose work is not yet
published.
I do not figure in the list yet!!!
