Answer 1

The correct answer is Jawaharlal Nehru.

Key Points:

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, wrote The Discovery of India while imprisoned by colonial authorities at Ahmednagar fort in the present-day Indian state of Maharashtra from 1942 to 1945, prior to India's independence.
While the book was written in 1944, it was published in 1946. Some of the book's material is credited to Nehru's fellow inmates at the Ahmednagar jail.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Govind Ballabh Pant, Narendra Deva, and Asaf Ali are among those he mentions specifically.
Bharat Ek Khoj (1988), a 53-episode Indian television series directed by Shyam Benegal and first broadcast in 1988 on the state-run Doordarshan channel, was based on the novel.
