Show answer
Answer: D. External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar wrote 'The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World' (2020) and 'Why Bharat Matters' (2024).
Watch for: Shashi Tharoor is the best-known author-politician, but these two foreign-policy books are by the External Affairs Minister.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Bhupender Yadav, the Environment Minister, did not write these books.
- B. Wrong because Nalin Mehta wrote 'The New BJP', not these titles.
- C. Wrong because Shashi Tharoor's books include 'Why I Am a Hindu' and 'An Era of Darkness', not these.
