Who among the following is the author of the book 'Abode of Love'?
- A.Shankar Dayal Sharma
- B.Narendra Modi
- C.APJ Abdul Kalam
- D.Manmohan Singh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Narendra Modi. Abode of Love is credited to Narendra Modi, who wrote several books in Gujarati long before becoming Prime Minister. His better known titles include Jyotipunj, a set of profiles of people who shaped him, Aankh Aa Dhanya Chhe, a collection of poems, and Exam Warriors, written in 2018 for students facing board examinations. Option A is wrong because Shankar Dayal Sharma, President from 1992 to 1997, is not linked with this book. Option C is wrong because APJ Abdul Kalam is remembered for Wings of Fire, Ignited Minds, India 2020 and My Journey, and not for Abode of Love. Option D is wrong because Manmohan Singh's name is attached to writings on economic policy, such as the collection Changing India, rather than to this title. Exam tip: for book questions, fix one sure title to each leader - Kalam and Wings of Fire, Modi and Exam Warriors - and work outwards from there.
