The author of said Indian work is perfectly free to publish said work in the United States. The key is that where-ever the work is published, it is published (locally) under the rules of the country where it is being published. In countries with traditional copyright, that means it must be sold. In countries with a tax based system, then the author will receive renumeration from the state based on how many people read it (or whatever system is developed).
Frankly, your insistance, despite copious evidence to the contrary (i.e., the testimony of dozens if not hundreds of authors) that copyright has allowed them to make a living out of writing, and therefore has allowed them to write far more than they might have otherwise, essentially undermines any credibility you might have once had.
