Explanation

The correct option is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi because he translated "Song from Prison" as part of his philosophical and spiritual reflections during his incarceration. This work exemplifies Gandhi's deep engagement with Indian religious texts and his effort to reinterpret them in a way that resonated with contemporary social and political issues. His translations aimed to provide a moral and spiritual foundation for the Indian independence movement, emphasizing non-violence, self-discipline, and the pursuit of truth, which are critical concepts in both Indian philosophy and Gandhi’s overall ideology.
