Shashi Tharoor is a renowned Indian politician and author, but he is not the author of this particular book. Tharoor has written numerous books on politics, history, and literature, but "Imaging India: Ideas for the New Century" is not one of his works.

Therefore, the correct answer is Nandan Nilekani. Nilekani is an Indian entrepreneur, bureaucrat, and politician. He has written the book "Imaging India: Ideas for the New Century," which provides an insightful perspective on the future of India and the challenges it faces in the 21st century.
