Who is author of the book “AatankkeSaye Me”, which was released by the Vice President of India in March, 2015?

The answer is D) Garima Sanjai. The book Aatank Ke Saye Mein is a Hindi work by Garima Sanjai, and the question is testing whether you can link a Hindi book release to its author. This is a current-affairs and literature recall item, so the reasoning comes down to knowing the book and its author.

Why the other options are weaker:

• Mannu Bhandari is a well-known Hindi novelist and short-story writer, known for Mahabhoj and Aap Ka Bunty. She is a popular distractor because she is a prominent Hindi woman writer, but she is not the author of this title.
• Shefalika Verma is a Hindi writer, which makes her a plausible distractor in a Hindi-literature question, but she is not linked to this book.
• Namita Gokhale is known mainly for English-language fiction and non-fiction, so she does not fit a Hindi title released in this context.

Core concept: Prelims questions on book releases by dignitaries often test whether you connect the title, language and author correctly. For Mains, the broader link is to the role of Hindi literature and public figures in addressing issues like terrorism and social security.

Trap: Aspirants pick the most famous Hindi name (Mannu Bhandari) and ignore the specific title. Always match the book, not just the author's reputation.
