Not a bad prediction at all; I could easily see it. His reputation is very high right now. In addition to awarding someone from the subcontinent, it would also be a climate change pick, which I could see them wanting to do.
The certainty that it won’t be Rushdie does remind me of everybody saying don’t be an idiot, of course it won’t be Bob Dylan. But this isn’t a prediction!
He’s also the dullest man alive…trust me. I interviewed him. Nobel doesn’t go for the Poppies kind of fluff. Only Booker is a sucker for that. Nobel actually usually gets it right. I have no clue who it might be but I’m thinking it will be a surprise..

I don't actually know his novels, but I found her much reasoning better than most of what you see

I think my top 3 in terms of probability would be Laszlo Krashnahorkai, Mircea Cărtărescu, and Gerald Murnane. All hugely deserving recipients imo.
If a poet wins, Raul Zurita, Anne Carson, or Adelia Prado could be in the running.
A few left-field picks include Alexis Wright, Mia Couto, and Christian Kracht.

I like Rushdie a lot more than most of the sort of “literary” writers who get this sort of award. I’d love to see him win.
Same. I'd be happy for Rushdie to win. 😁
I'm rooting for César Aira.
Oh i didn’t see you were quoting someone else. Thank god. I had a lot more faith in you
the little green line always means a quote
You’re properly mad now. Ghosh? Never. He wrote only one book of merit some decades ago- Shadowlines. The rest is yawning.
No Indian writer is Nobel worthy right now. My guess, it’ll be someone out of the radar…
please note, this is not my prediction
Won’t be Taylor Swift
Not for her Hamlet allusions?
I sure hope it won’t be Rushdie but how can we be so sure - too famous?
