-
D.
Shashi Tharoor
Correct Answer:
D. Shashi Tharoor
Explanation:
The correct answer is Shashi Tharoor. Published in 1989, The Great Indian Novel is a satirical work that reimagines the ancient Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharata, within the framework of the Indian Independence Movement and the subsequent political history of the 20th century. Tharoor uses mythological figures as parallels for real-life political leaders, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, to critique the evolution of Indian democracy. The title itself serves as a dual reference to the "Great American Novel" and a literal translation of the word Mahabharata.
