Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches Sekhar Bandyopadhyay's work with Anita Inder Singh and mismatches other authors.
Option 2 -> Incorrectly attributes all books to wrong authors, including placing Gyanendra Pandey as author of "From Plassey to Partition."
Option 3 -> Correctly matches: Sekhar Bandyopadhyay (From Plassey to Partition), Urvashi Butalia (The Other Side of Silence), Anita Inder Singh (The Partition of India), and Gyanendra Pandey (Remembering Partition).
Option 4 -> Reverses several key author-book pairings, misattributing Butalia's and Pandey's works.
Hence, Option 3: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II) -> This correctly pairs each seminal work on Partition and modern Indian history with its respective author: Bandyopadhyay's comprehensive historical survey, Butalia's oral history documentation, Singh's analytical study, and Pandey's examination of violence and memory -> correct
