Who is the author of the memoir ‘Dancing with Joy’, released by the Vice-President?

The correct answer is Dr. Ananda Shankar Jayant, a renowned classical dancer and author who also served as an officer of the Indian Railway Traffic Service. The Vice-President released her inspirational memoir at Uprashtrapathi Bhavan and spoke of it as an account of passion, hard work and resilience, and of her journey through cancer. The other three names belong to dignitaries who attended the event, which is exactly how such questions are made tricky. Option A is the Chairman of the Sangeet Natak Akademi. Option C is the Chairman of the Ushalakshmi Breast Cancer Foundation. Option D is the Member Secretary of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts. Doctors, cancer specialists and cancer survivors were also present. The memoir’s own line, that the D in DANCER helped its author overcome the C in cancer, was quoted by the Vice-President in his address.
