1. A. Vikram Seth matches with IV. From Heaven Lake
Vikram Seth is a well-known Indian novelist and poet. From Heaven Lake: Travels Through Sinkiang and Tibet is his highly acclaimed travelogue published in 1983, which details his journey hitchhiking through Tibet and Sinkiang to India.

2. B. V.S. Naipaul matches with III. The Mosque of Africa
V.S. Naipaul (Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul) was a Nobel laureate writer known for his works exploring themes of colonialism and post-colonialism. The Mosque of Africa is one of his notable pieces/essays exploring cultural landscapes.

3. C. Salman Rushdie matches with I. Knife

Jhumpa Lahiri is a prominent Pulitzer Prize-winning American author of Indian origin. The Lowland is her popular 2013 novel set against the backdrop of the Naxalite movement in Calcutta and the lives of two brothers.
