I want to make my sentence fluent so is the following sentence is correct? If not then how should I write it?

For example, I brought a book from India and kept it in my home but someone stole from there, so I will write:

Someone stole the book from my home that I brought from India.

    In the last "sentence 1" what did you buy from India? What aspects of the sentence do you think are incorrect? Bare proof-reading questions are off-topic.

  • Stolen or stole? Stole is correct I think

  • Avoid saying “the below X” because this can sound stilted and even borderline unnatural to native speakers. Instead say “the following X” in especially formal written contexts, or merely “this X” in the singular or “these Xes” in the plural in many common and less exacting circumstances. Sometimes English-language learners don’t realize that they should use the demonstrative determiners this, that, these, those which native speakers customarily use for these cases.

Original:

I brought a book from India and kept it in my home but someone stole from there.

Suggestion:

I brought a book from India and kept it in my home, but someone stole it.

That's a neuter pronoun and not the adjective clause you use "someone stole the book from my home that I brought from India," but while that is an example of an adjective clause and is technically correct, it has a sing songy cadence that is too semantically disjointed for "localized" conversation.
