This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

V. S. Naipaul

The correct answer is V. S. Naipaul.

'Guerrillas', published in 1975, is a novel by V. S. Naipaul set on a troubled Caribbean island and exploring themes of revolution, race and disillusionment.

Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was a Trinidad-born British writer of Indian descent who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2001.

His other well-known works include 'A House for Mr Biswas', 'A Bend in the River' and 'In a Free State'.

Novoneel Chakraborty is a contemporary Indian romance-thriller writer, unconnected with this 1975 novel, so that option is wrong.

Bapsi Sidhwa ('Ice-Candy-Man') and Mohsin Hamid ('The Reluctant Fundamentalist') are South Asian authors who did not write 'Guerrillas'.

Hence the author of 'Guerrillas' (1975) is V. S. Naipaul.
