Free guess: Arundhati Roy

Arundhati Roy is correct! Winner of the 1997 Booker Prize, and frequently the target of ire in the Indian media for her left-wing politics. Recently the government gave the go-ahead for her to be prosecuted under an anti-terrorism law for comments she made about Kashmir... 14 years ago.

Woohoo! Thanks for the selection, I very much enjoyed reading about her. Ridiculous about the recent legal troubles. Great choice, DreamTrawler!
