Name the author of the literary work “Amolak Vataan”.

Concept: Rajasthani-literature GK questions test exact title-to-author pairings: each major Rajasthani writer is linked with a distinct signature work (a folk-tale collection, an early prose piece, an award-winning story collection, or similar), and exam papers verify whether a candidate can match a specific, sometimes lesser-known title to the correct writer among several genuine Rajasthani litterateurs.

Application: The work named in this question is credited to Lakshmi Kumari Chundawat (1916–2014), a Rajasthani writer and politician awarded the Padma Shri (1984) for her contribution to Rajasthani literature and folk documentation; this attribution is confirmed by RSSB's official Patwar 2025 Shift-II answer key for this question.

Each of the other listed names is a genuine Rajasthani litterateur, but each is known for a different signature work:

• Vijaydan Detha (1926–2013): Sahitya Akademi Award (1974) for 'Bataan ri Phulwari', a fourteen-volume collection of Rajasthani folk tales.

• Shiv Chandra Bhartiya: regarded as an early Rajasthani prose writer, associated with the work 'Vishrant Pravas'.

• Yadvendra Sharma 'Chandra' (1932–2009): Sahitya Akademi Award (1989) for the story collection 'Jamaro'.

None of these match the work named in the question, so the keyed author — Lakshmi Kumari Chundawat — remains the answer, supported both by literary catalogues and by the exam’s own official answer key.
