Kamala Markandaya (1924 – May 16, 2004) was a pseudonym used by Kamala Purnaiya Taylor, an Indian novelist and journalist. A native of Mysore, India, Markandaya was a graduate of Madras University, and afterwards published several short stories in Indian newspapers. After India declared its independence, Markandaya moved to Britain, though she still labeled herself an Indian expatriate long afterwards. Known for writing about culture clash between Indian urban and rural societies, Markandaya's first published novel, ''Nectar in a Sieve'', was a bestseller and cited as an American Library Association Notable Book in 1955. Other novels include ''Some Inner Fury'' (1955), ''A Silence of Desire'' (1960), ''Possession'' (1963), ''A Handful of Rice'' (1966), ''The Nowhere Man'' (1972), ''Two Virgins'' (1973), ''The Golden Honeycomb'' (1977), and ''Pleasure City'' (1982/1983).
