Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Shashi Tharoor.
The Great Indian Novel, published in 1989, is a satirical novel by Shashi Tharoor. It is a unique literary work that reimagines the ancient epic, the Mahabharata, in the context of the Indian Independence Movement and the subsequent political history of India. In this book, Tharoor transforms major historical figures into mythological characters—for instance, Mahatma Gandhi is depicted as Bhishma and Jawaharlal Nehru as Dhritarashtra—to provide a witty and critical commentary on modern Indian democracy.
