Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar

Answer: D. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar authored 'The India Way' and 'Why Bharat Matters'. Dr. S. Jaishankar, India's External Affairs Minister since 2019, is the author of: - 'The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World' (2020): outlines India's foreign policy approach amid global geopolitical churn. - 'Why Bharat Matters' (2024): explores India's emerging strategic profile and its role in a multipolar world order. Jaishankar is a career diplomat (Foreign Secretary 2015-2018) before joining the Cabinet. Distractors fail: (A) Bhupender Yadav is Environment Minister and has authored 'The Rise of the BJP'. (B) Nalin Mehta is a journalist who wrote 'The New BJP'. (C) Shashi Tharoor is a Congress MP and prolific author (Inglorious Empire, etc.) but not these two specific titles.
