Gobind Behari Lal was the first Indian to win the Pulitzer Prize. He received the award in 1937 for journalism, specifically for his reporting on science at the Harvard Tercentenary together with four other journalists.

The question asks for the earliest Indian recipient of the Pulitzer Prize.

While Arundhati Roy (1998, Fiction), Vijay Seshadri (2014, Poetry), and Jhumpa Lahiri (2000, Fiction) are celebrated Indian-origin Pulitzer laureates, Gobind Behari Lal’s win predates theirs significantly.
