The award which, the famous writer and social activist Mahasweta Devi, who passed away recently, did not win –

Sahitya Akademi Award
Jnanpith Award
Ramon Magsaysay
Padam Vibhusan

The correct answer is D. Padam Vibhusan.

Mahasweta Devi was a Bengali writer and social activist who won numerous awards, including the Sahitya Akademi Award, the Jnanpith Award, and the Ramon Magsaysay Award. She was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The Padma Vibhushan is an Indian civilian award of the third highest grade in the Padma Vibhushan series, awarded for distinguished service of a high order. It is awarded by the President of India.

Mahasweta Devi was not awarded the Padma Vibhushan. This may be because she was a controversial figure who was often critical of the Indian government. She was also a strong advocate for the rights of the poor and marginalized, which may have made her unpopular with some members of the Indian establishment.

Despite not being awarded the Padma Vibhushan, Mahasweta Devi was a highly respected writer and social activist who made a significant contribution to Indian society.
