Q26.
Who of the following is the author of the books “The India Way” and “Why Bharat Matters”?
Answer
D
Explanation
• Why Bharat Matters is a 2024 non-fictional book written by Indian politician and author S. Jaishankar. Jaishankar was the incumbent Minister of External Affairs of the Government of India in the Second Modi ministry at the time of publishing. In this work, Jaishankar discusses India's foreign policy and emphasises the importance of Bharat, i.e. India, with its ever-growing role on the global stage as a potential superpower. • ‘The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World,’ by Dr S Jaishankar, presently the Union Minister of External Affairs, is a book that attracts much attention and curiosity. Firstly, because it is written by a career diplomat with four decades of experience, and hence with a vantage perspective. Secondly, because he has now graduated to a more powerful policy- making, strategy-defining role, and getting an insight into his thinking would be gratifying. Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
