Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Shashi Tharoor.

In his book 'Why I am a Hindu', Shashi Tharoor provides a comprehensive exploration of Hinduism, blending personal reflection with historical and philosophical analysis. He discusses the core tenets of the religion, its great thinkers like Swami Vivekananda, and its inherent pluralism and tolerance. Tharoor contrasts this "inclusive" Hinduism with modern political interpretations, arguing that the true essence of the faith lies in its ability to accept multiple truths and diverse ways of worship.
