All three pairs are correctly matched based on the literary contributions of these prominent Indian authors. Arundhati Roy is the author of the 1997 Booker Prize-winning novel 'The God of Small Things', which is set in Kerala [t3][t4][t6]. Kiran Desai authored 'The Inheritance of Loss', published in 2006, for which she received the Man Booker Prize; the novel explores themes of migration and cultural hybridity [t2][t7]. Jhumpa Lahiri is the author of 'The Namesake', a novel that delves into the immigrant experience, identity crisis, and the life of the protagonist Gogol in the United States [t2][t5][t8]. These works represent significant milestones in modern Indian English literature, reflecting diverse themes ranging from domestic social structures to the complexities of the global diaspora.
