Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Khushwant Singh.

  • ‘Train to Pakistan’ is one of the best-sellers by Khushwant Singh. This story is unique because it does not have a main character. It is a tale of a village; a world different from the rest of the world.
  • Khushwant Singh worked in Rajya Sabha for six years.
  • The author earned a Padma Bhushan award in 1974, but he returned it in 1984 in the protest of ‘the siege of the Golden Temple’ by the Indian Army.
  • The Indian government rewarded Khushwant Singh Padma Vibhushan in 2007.
