Explanation
Dalip (Dilip) Kaur Tiwana was a prominent Punjabi novelist and short‑story writer, widely recognised for her substantial contribution to modern Punjabi literature. She published numerous novels and story collections, served as a distinguished academic at Punjabi University, and received major literary honours including the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Padma Shri, which she later returned in protest — all confirming her identity as a litterateur rather than a musician, scientist, or sportsperson [1]. Her career and corpus place her squarely among leading modern Indian/Punjabi literary figures, making “litterateur” the correct classification.
