Explanation

S connects with 1 as ‘the sentiments’ in 1 connect with ‘his inclusive vision’ in S. The pronoun ‘he’ in P refers to the noun ‘Narendra Modi’ in S. The conjunction ‘but’ in R connects with P as it introduces the statement that is in contrast to the statement in P. Q and 6 connect as the pronoun ‘this’ in 6 refers to the noun ‘reports’ in Q.
