Quite frankly, I think the combined requirement, of it being Indian poetry and originally written in English, is conflicting and silly. While some poets of Indian descent who wrote in English probably exist, I'd doubt those would be the best examples of either Indian culture or English language.
True....
Nevertheless there are plenty who wrote in English (leaving the question about how representative they are for English/Indian literature in the middle). A good example is Gieve Patel who write in English and is apparently "
an important presence in the history of modern Indian poetry in English".
