RUPI KAUR.

Rupi kaur 

Rupi Kaur is an Indian-origin poet, author, and illustrator, born in 1992 in Punjab, India, and raised in Canada. She is widely known for bringing poetry into the digital age and for giving voice to young women across cultures.

Although she lives abroad, Rupi Kaur’s writing is deeply influenced by Indian experiences, especially themes of womanhood, patriarchy, migration, family, and generational trauma—all of which strongly reflect Indian society and diaspora life. Her poetry often mirrors the silence, strength, and resilience of Indian women.

Her bestselling book Milk and Honey explores pain, healing, body image, and female endurance—topics closely connected to the lived realities of many women in India. The Sun and Her Flowers focuses on roots, immigration, identity, and belonging, symbolized through flowers and ancestry, echoing Indian cultural values. Her later work Home Body reflects inner healing, selfhood, and emotional survival, themes relatable to contemporary Indian youth.

With her minimalistic style and emotional honesty, Rupi Kaur represents a modern Indian voice on a global platform, bridging tradition and modern expression.
