Solution
(B) introduces the speaker and claim ('Agha Shahid Ali states that'), (D) gives the reason first ('because he grew up in three distinct cultures...'), (A) states the resulting plurality of identity ('there is a Muslim in him, a Hindu in him...'), and (C) concludes with its effect on his poetry. This gives B-D-A-C, placing the cause before the effect within the reported clause.
