Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Gurcharan Das.

‘The Elephant Paradigm: India Wrestles with Change’ is a thought-provoking work by Gurcharan Das. The central theme uses the metaphor of an "elephant" to represent India, a nation that moves slowly and awkwardly but with great strength and sure-footedness. Das explores the transformation of India from a closed economy to a global player, analyzing the complex interplay between traditional values, modern aspirations, and the persistent struggle between the state's bureaucracy and the private sector's entrepreneurial spirit.
