Let us look at the works of each Indian playwright mentioned in List I to match them with the plays in List II:

A. Pratap Sharma - III. A Touch of Brightness
Pratap Sharma (1939 - 2011) was a prominent Indian playwright, novelist, and voice-over artist. His most famous play, A Touch of Brightness, was written in 1965. It deals with the lives of sex workers in the red-light district of Mumbai (then Bombay) and was initially banned in India before gaining international acclaim.

B. Asif Currimbhoy - IV. The Hungry Ones
Asif Currimbhoy (1928 - 1994) is often regarded as one of India's first modern playwrights in English. He wrote numerous plays addressing social and political issues. The Hungry Ones (1965) is one of his well-known plays, reflecting on the realities of poverty and hunger in India.

C. Gurcharan Das - II. Mira
Gurcharan Das is a well-known Indian author, commentator, and former corporate executive. He wrote the play Mira in 1971, which is based on the life of the 16th-century mystic poet-saint Mirabai.

D. Nissim Ezekiel - I. Sleepwalkers
Nissim Ezekiel (1924 - 2004) was a foundational figure in post-colonial Indian English literature, primarily known for his poetry, but he also wrote plays. Sleepwalkers (1976) is a one-act play by him that satirizes American influence on Indian intellectuals who blindly imitate Western culture.

Thus, matching the authors to their respective plays gives:
A ⇒ III
B ⇒ IV
C ⇒ II
D ⇒ I
