Shashi Tharoor's equation with Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar is a strained one. He also isn't known for hurling personal barbs at his opponents, which BJP expects out of turncoats.

Concern about inequality is fine but will our government re-distribute income?

Shashi Tharoor vs Rahul Gandhi in Congress. वही पुरानी बोतल और पुरानी शराब | Flop Rahul Show in AICC

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 24th of March and here are the headlines.Devendra Fadnavis vs Kunal KamraMaharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis criticized comedian Kunal Kamra for mocking Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, calling him a "gaddar" (traitor) during a program in Khar. Fadnavis stated that while satire is acceptable, it shouldn't insult individuals. He emphasized that freedom of speech shouldn't be misused. Kamra's remarks, made to the tune of a song from Dil To Pagal Hai, sparked political controversy. Fadnavis affirmed that action would be taken against Kamra for crossing the line in political commentary.Shashi Tharoor on Parliament DisruptionsCongress leader Shashi Tharoor criticized the BJP-led government's handling of Parliament, calling it "shocking" after both houses were adjourned shortly after the session began. He accused the ruling party of deliberately disrupting the proceedings, failing to fulfill its responsibility. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, also from Congress, expressed concerns, suggesting that the government had intentionally obstructed the House's functioning, using excuses to create a ruckus and avoid legislative business. The adjournments triggered further political tensions.Surge in US Student Visa DenialsUS student visa rejections reached a decade-high in the 2023-24 fiscal year, with 41% of F-1 visa applications denied. This represents nearly double the rejection rate seen in 2014. A total of 6.79 lakh applications were processed, with 2.79 lakh refusals. This marks a rise from 2022-23 when 36% of applications were rejected. Data on country-specific refusals remains unavailable, though Indian applicants have faced significant declines, with student visa issuances falling by 38% compared to the previous year.Kannur Court Sentences Eight CPI(M) WorkersA district sessions court in Kannur sentenced eight CPI(M) workers, including the brother of Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's press secretary, to life imprisonment for the 2005 murder of BJP worker Elambilayi Sooraj. Another accused was given a three-year sentence. The court convicted the group for Sooraj's brutal murder on August 7, 2005, in Muzhappilangad village. Among the sentenced was T K Rajeesh, already serving life for the 2012 murder of Marxist leader T P Chandrasekharan.Canada Calls for Snap ElectionCanadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a snap election for April 28, aiming for a strong mandate to address the economic threat posed by US President Trump's trade and tariff policies. In a press briefing, Carney discussed strategic foreign policy moves, including a defense agreement with Australia, strengthened ties with France and the UK, and new trade talks with the EU. Carney also scrapped the carbon tax, seeking to end divisions and unify the nation as he called for Parliament's dissolution.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

Foreign aid and reparations are terms often used interchangeably, yet they embody distinct principles and purposes. In this episode, we discuss the differences between these concepts, exploring their definitions, the potential risks of conflating them, and the implications of such conflation.Foreign aid typically refers to financial or technical assistance provided by one nation to another, aiming to support economic development, humanitarian needs, or disaster relief. Reparations, however, are compensatory measures acknowledging and addressing historical injustices and systemic exploitation inflicted upon a nation or community. While both involve the transfer of resources, their underlying motivations and intended outcomes differ significantly.Conflating foreign aid with reparations can lead to several risks. It may allow former colonial powers to sidestep genuine accountability by framing aid as a benevolent gesture rather than a responsibility. This conflation can also perpetuate power imbalances, as aid often comes with conditions that may not align with the recipient nation's interests, undermining the reparative intent of acknowledging past wrongs.To illustrate these complexities, we examine the historical and ongoing debates surrounding the United Kingdom's colonial legacy in India. Indian politician and author Shashi Tharoor has been a vocal advocate for recognizing the economic and social damages caused by British colonial rule. In his 2015 speech at the Oxford Union, Tharoor argued that British colonialism led to the systematic deindustrialization and impoverishment of India, asserting that reparations are owed for the exploitation endured. Tharoor's subsequent book, An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India, delves deeper into these issues, providing a comprehensive analysis of the economic exploitation and cultural suppression during colonial rule. He emphasizes that while foreign aid from Britain to India exists, it does not equate to reparations, as it lacks the acknowledgment of historical injustices and is often guided by the donor's strategic interests rather than the recipient's reparative needs.Through these discussions, we aim to shed light on the importance of distinguishing between foreign aid and reparations.

1. പുകഞ്ഞ കൊളളിയോ തരൂർ?2. ജാമിയയിൽ എന്താണ് നടക്കുന്നത്?3. നിർമ്മാതാക്കൾ രണ്ടുതട്ടിലോ?Panel : S.A Ajims, Nishad Rawther, Divya Divakaran 

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-comrade-kirillov-and-the-art-of-whistleblowing-13846569.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=socialOne of the great Raja Rao's slighter works is called Comrade Kirillov: it is what Graham Greene would have called an ‘entertainment', as opposed to the ‘novels' he wrote on themes of some gravity. I was reminded of the title in an altogether inappropriate way when I read of the assassination of General Kirillov in Moscow, allegedly by Ukrainian secret agents.Then I read of the tragic suicide of Suchir Balaji, a whistleblower and former employee at OpenAI, surely the most glamorous company in Silicon Valley these days.There is a thread here: it is not good for your health if you expose certain people or certain companies. You will pay a price.You may just be minding your own business, but you happen to be in the way. This is what happened to Indian nuclear and space scientists over the last few decades. Homi Bhabha's plane crashed in the Swiss Alps. Vikram Sarabhai died mysteriously at Halcyon Castle, Trivandrum, close to the space center that now bears his name.Dozens of lesser-known Indian space and nuclear scientists and engineers died too, inexplicably. The same thing happened to Iranian nuclear scientists. Nambi Narayanan was lucky to escape with his life (“Who killed the ISRO's cryogenic engine?”), though his career and reputation were ruined.My friend Dewang Mehta of NASSCOM died quite suddenly too. I wrote a tribute to him years ago, “The man who knew marketing”. In hindsight, I think he was a friend, not just an acquaintance. I remember some very human details about him: eg. he asked a mutual friend to introduce eligible women to him, just as I did. But I digress: I believe Dewang was as important to the Indian IT story as Bhabha and Sarabhai to nuclear and space: they made us believe, and we rose to the occasion. Then there was Lal Bahadur Shastri. The circumstances of his sudden death remain murky.And Sunanda Pushkar, Shashi Tharoor's wife, whom I was following on Twitter in real time. One night, she promised to make some startling revelations the next morning, presumably about dubious dealings in Dubai by the D Company. And lo! she was dead the next morning.It is hard not to think that there is a pattern. Not only here, but in the trail of dead bodies that follows the Clinton dynasty around. The Obama chef who drowned. The whistleblowing CIA and FBI agents who… just died. The list is long. People who are inconvenient end up in body bags. I remember reading that when Sarabhai died, his family did not even ask for a post-mortem.There are two broad patterns: geo-political assassinations and those for commercial reasons.In Kirillov's case, it was probably both.General Kirillov claimed that there were bio-labs in Ukraine, etc. where the Deep State was cooking up banned biological weapons, in an eerie echo of Peter Daszcak's Ecohealth Alliance and Anthony Fauci's NIAID allegedly aiding and abetting prohibited gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. He claimed biological crises were manufactured on demand to generate profits and increase government control. Presumably he opened a can of worms that the Deep State and Big Pharma didn't want opened. Off with his head!There is the ‘conspiracy theory' that the entire COVID-19 circus was a bioweapons project that went awry. It was intended to depopulate the world, especially of black and brown people, to which the IITD paper (that was forcibly withdrawn) alludes: the genes that seemed to have been inserted into the original virus were from India, Southeast Asia, and Kenya, if I remember right. Of course, the powers that be do not want shocking stuff like this to come out.It is straightforward to make it a false-flag operation with the Ukrainian SBU secret service to provide plausible deniability: much like the bombing of the NordStream pipeline. So exit, stage left, for Kirillov. As Sherlock Holmes might have said, “Follow the money”, or words to that effect. Cui bono?I really don't mean to trivialize human suffering, but to focus on the shadowy forces that organize and execute targeted assassinations. In particular, decapitation strikes can be devastating. In our own history, the loss of Hemachandra Vikramaditya in the Second Battle of Panipat, in 1526, to a stray arrow that hit him in the eye, was a point of inflexion.Similarly, at the Battle of Talikota in 1565, the capture and beheading of the aged Ramaraya by his own troops that had gone rogue turned the winning position of the Vijayanagar Empire into a headlong rout and obliteration for the city-state.The assassination of Ahmed Shah Masoud, the Commander of the Northern Alliance, with a bomb hidden in a news camera, turned the tide in Afghanistan in 2001. The American assassination of Qasem Soleimani of Iran in 2020 led to a significant erosion of Iran's position, for example in Syria.The silencing of whistle-blowers has, alas, become all too common. There were the allegations about Karen Silkwood in 1974, who died in a mysterious car crash as she was driving to meet a NYTimes reporter regarding problems at a plutonium processing plant run by Kerr-McGhee in Oklahoma.In 2003, David Kelly, a British weapons inspector who claimed there were indeed no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, was found dead. The verdict was suicide.In 2015, Alberto Nisman, an Argentine prosecutor known for his work on terrorism cases, was found dead days after he accused Iran of involvement in a car-bombing on a Jewish center.In March 2024, John Barnett, a former Boeing employee, was found dead from a gunshot wound in his truck, just before he was scheduled to testify in a whistleblower lawsuit. There was also Joshua Dean, who died of a strange infection in May 2024, shortly after Barnett's death. He worked for a company supplying parts to Boeing.In November 2024, Suchir Balaji, all of 26 years old, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment. In October, he had made allegations about OpenAI violating copyright laws.The bottom line: if you know something, just keep quiet about it. If you are a person of substance, take no risks, and be paranoid about your security. It's a pretty nasty world out there.The AI-generated podcast about this essay courtesy Google NotebookLM: 1050 words, 19 Dec 2024 This is a public episode.

Former diplomat and Indian politician Shashi Tharoor has stated that Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election will benefit India, as the two leaders share a close rapport. Speaking at a session titled 'Shifting Perspectives: The State of the World in 2024' organised by the Australia India Institute on 13 November, Tharoor told SBS Hindi that India's primary concern lies in Trump's immigration policies, which could impose restrictions on legal immigrants.

Senior Congress leader and Former Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor says that Donald Trump has had friendly relations with the Narendra Modi government but raises concerns over his immigration and trade policies. Speaking to ThePrint, Tharoor said India has dealt with Trump's presidency before. The former diplomat also said Trump's stance on China aligns with India's position. Tharoor also spoke at length as to what the win signifies in terms of the rise of the right

The ContrThe Controversial Nature of Intellectual kshatriya | Rajiv Malhotra at CoHna -CYAN (Cohna Youth Action Network)An insightful keynote by Rajiv Malhotra, founder of the Infinity Foundation, at the CoHNA 2024 event, where he explores the essence of being different, the power of controversy, and the need for resilience in challenging established paradigms. Malhotra critiques Shashi Tharoor's ideas of a passive, introverted Hinduism, instead of a more assertive and proactive approach. Drawing parallels to figures like Jesus Christ, Buddha, and Gandhi, Malhotra highlights the necessity of intellectual disruption and resilience when confronting opposition. He also addresses key themes in Hindu philosophy, leadership, and combating "Hinduphobia" in academia and society, while introducing the Diksha Academy, a platform for training future intellectual Kshatriyas. Through this talk, gain insight into Hinduism's modern relevance and the challenge of defending cultural identity against adversarial forces.Battle For Consciousness Theory : battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation's projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/oversial Nature of Intellectual kshatriya | Rajiv Malhotra at CoHna -CYAN

He is known for his books, impeccable speaking style, and incredible debates, and is one of the most popular leaders in the country! In this episode, we ask him to dissect Kerala's economic crisis, and the rampant unemployment, discuss Freebies and other concerns from the congress manifesto, and the vision that Congress has for India.

In a crucial year for India, millions of voters are going to the polls in the mammoth six-week election in the most populous country on earth. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hoping to secure a rare third term as the poll hits the mid point. Internationally acclaimed author of twenty-five books, Dr Shashi Tharoor is a third-term Member of Parliament for the Congress and former Under Secretary-General of the United Nations. Dr Tharoor is appearing in conversation with Linda Clark in 'The Year the World Votes' at the Auckland Writers Festival.

The public seems to think Virat Kohli's place in the T20 World Cup is a given. However, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru superstar shot himself in the foot when he came up with a snoozefest in Hyderabad in RCB's win over SunRisers on April 25, days ahead of the T20 World Cup selection meeting. Yes, Virat Kohli deserves another shot at the T20 World Cup, but will his inclusion do more harm than good to Team India? Can he bat at No. 3, considering his struggles against spin, especially after the powerplay? Should he be used as a pinch-hitter in the powerplay? If that's going to be the case, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is hungry for big runs, might have to warm the benches. Also, if media reports are anything to go by, Sanju Samson might miss out on a World Cup berth again. Having missed the ODI World Cup last year, Samson looked set to go to the USA and the Caribbean. However, it seems the selectors are more inclined to take KL Rahul as the second wicketkeeper, with Rishabh Pant set to take the gloves. Will we get to see Shashi Tharoor's furious rants on social media again? Does KL Rahul deserve a spot more than Sanju Samson? With the selectors set to name the T20 World Cup in the final week of May, Saurabh Kumar, Akshay Ramesh and Kingshuk Kusari discuss the probables in the latest episode of Sledging Room Podcast.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 3rd of April and here are today's headlines.In an exclusive investigation report, The Indian Express has found that since 2014, as many as 25 prominent politicians facing action from Central agencies for alleged corruption have crossed over to the BJP. These politicians cut across party lines: 10 are from the Congress; four each from NCP and Shiv Sena; three from TMC; two from TDP; and one each from SP and YSRCP. In 23 of these cases, their political move has translated into reprieve. The Opposition calls it the “washing machine,” the mechanism by which politicians accused of corruption don't face legal consequences if they quit their party and join the BJP.The Delhi High Court today heard Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea seeking immediate release from the custody of Enforcement Directorate. Senior advocate Dr Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Kejriwal said that the case reeks of timing issues which ensures that Kejriwal is unable to participate in democratic activity and to try to disintegrate the AAP before the first vote is cast. Additional Solicitor SV Raju representing ED said that he was in a bit of a dilemma because what is filed is a writ petition against arrest but it is argued as a bail application or quashing application.Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor today said the question of who could be an alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “irrelevant” as in a parliamentary system people are not electing an individual but a party or a coalition of parties. In a post on X, he said the alternative to PM Modi is a group of experienced, capable and diverse leaders who will be responsive to people's problems and not driven by individual ego.India's first Olympic medallist in boxing Vijender Singh joined the BJP today. Singh had fought the 2019 Lok Sabha election unsuccessfully from the South Delhi constituency as a Congress candidate. Singh comes from the Jat community, which has political influence in a large number of seats in Haryana, the state he comes from, western Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.At least nine people were killed and 800 others injured in a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that rocked Taiwan early morning today. Authorities said that 50 travellers aboard four minibuses heading to a hotel in a national park are missing in Hualien. As many as 34 aftershocks were recorded. The quake had a depth of 15.5 km, according to Taiwan's Central Weather Administration. The strongest tremor to hit the island in at least 25 years, the quake sparked a tsunami warning for southern Japan and the Philippines that was later lifted.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

CPI Rajya Sabha MP and Kerala State Secretary holds forth on his candidate Pannyan Raveendran's chances in Thiruvananthapuram and sizes up the opposing candidates in Shashi Tharoor and Rajeev Chandrasekhar. In this #ThePrintInterview with Anand Kochukudy, Viswam also clears the air on the INDIA bloc contesting against itself in Kerala and exudes hope on the reunification of Left parties in future.

"Both the pandemic and the Ukraine crises have demonstrated anew that multilateralism is in trouble." In this episode, Manas Chawla interviews Dr Shashi Tharoor. The two discuss several fascinating topics, including the future of the emerging world order with specific reference to India's role in an increasingly multipolar world. Given India's growing assertiveness in international affairs, the two talk about the evolving role of international institutions including the UN and G20 given the shift away from a US-centric unipolar world. They discuss the concept of "geopolitical swing states" and how rising powers from the Global South are pursuing independent foreign policies. Debating ongoing spats between India and China, Manas and Dr Tharoor share insights on developments in trade and economic dependence that may frame future conflicts. Dr Shashi Tharoor is a distinguished Indian politician, best-selling author, and public intellectual. He served 29 years at the United Nations, culminating as Under-Secretary-General, and was named as a "Global Leader of Tomorrow" by the World Economic Forum.

With this, a total of 141 MPs have now been suspended in this Winter session of the Parliament – 95 from Lok Sabha and 46 from Rajya Sabha. Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 2 pm today as Opposition MPs continued their protests over their suspension and pressing for a statement from PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah on the Parliament security breach. The Bombay High Court allowed an appeal filed by Gautam Navlakha. He is the accused in the Elgaar Parishad case and had challenged an order of a special NIA court which rejected his bail application in April this year. On the request of NIA, the HC stayed implementation of its order by three weeks for central agency to approach the Supreme Court. Navlakha, who was arrested on April 14, 2020, has been incarcerated since then; and has been under house arrest in Navi Mumbai since Supreme Court order of November last year. The first session of the 16th Madhya Pradesh Assembly witnessed controversy regarding a portrait of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru being replaced with that of Dr B R Ambedkar. Congress leaders said that while installing an Ambedkar portrait was a welcome move, the removal of Nehru's amounted to a “conspiracy of the BJP to change history”. Government officials said the portrait had been removed because it was in bad condition, and that later it was decided to install an Ambedkar portrait there.Former chief minister of Chhattisgarh Raman Singh was elected as the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly today. Outgoing speaker and present Leader of Opposition Charan Das Mahant moved the proposal for the election of Singh as the Speaker and former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel as well as other MLAs gave their mandate to the BJP leader.Over a 100 people have been killed in China after a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck two northwestern provinces of the country Monday night. Local authorities said that as many as 105 people have been killed and 397 injured in Gansu province, while in neighbouring Qinghai province, 13 people have been killed and 182 injured.The epicentre of the quake was in Jishishan county.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Shashi Tharoor is a member of the Indian Parliament from the Thiruvananthapuram constituency in Kerala. He previously served as the United Nations Under-Secretary General for Communications and Public Information and as the Indian Minister of State for External Affairs. He is also a prolific author, columnist, journalist and a human rights advocate. He has served on the Board of Overseers of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He is also an adviser to the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva and a Fellow of the New York Institute of the Humanities at New York University. He has also served as a trustee of the Aspen Institute, and the Advisory of the Indo-American Arts Council, the American India Foundation, the World Policy Journal, the Virtue Foundation and the human rights organization Breakthrough He is also a Patron of the Dubai Modern High School and the managing trustee of the Chandran Tharoor Foundation which he founded with his family and friends in the name of his late father, Chandran Tharoor. Tharoor has written numerous books in English. Most of his literary creations are centred on Indian themes and they are markedly “Indo-nostalgic.” Perhaps his most famous work is The Great Indian Novel, published in 1989, in which he uses the narrative and theme of the famous Indian epic Mahabharata to weave a satirical story of Indian life in a non-linear mode with the characters drawn from the Indian Independence Movement. His novel Show Business (1992) was made into the film 'Bollywood'(1994). The late Ismail Merchant had announced his wish to make a film of Tharoor's novel Riot shortly before Merchant's death in 2005. Tharoor has been a highly-regarded columnist in each of India's three best-known English-language newspapers, most recently for The Hindu newspaper (2001–2008) and in a weekly column, “Shashi on Sunday,” in the Times of India (January 2007 – December 2008). Following his resignation as Minister of State for External Affairs, he began a fortnightly column on foreign policy issues in the "Deccan Chronicle". Previously he was a columnist for the Gentleman magazine and the Indian Express newspaper, as well as a frequent contributor to Newsweek International and the International Herald Tribune. His Op-Eds and book reviews have appeared in the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, amongst other papers. Tharoor began writing at the age of 6 and his first published story appeared in the “Bharat Jyoti”, the Sunday edition of the "Free press Journal", in Mumbai at age 10. His World War II adventure novel Operation Bellows, inspired by the Biggles books, was serialized in the Junior Statesman starting a week before his 11th birthday. Each of his books has been a best-seller in India. The Great Indian Novel is currently in its 28th edition in India and his newest volume. The Elephant, the Tiger and the Cellphone has undergone seven hardback re-printings there. Tharoor has lectured widely on India, and is often quoted for his observations, including, "India is not, as people keep calling it, an underdeveloped country, but rather, in the context of its history and cultural heritage, a highly developed one in an advanced state of decay.". He has also coined a memorable comparison of India's "thali" to the American "melting pot": "If America is a melting pot, then to me India is a thali--a selection of sumptuous dishes in different bowls. Each tastes different, and does not necessarily mix with the next, but they belong together on the same plate, and they complement each other in making the meal a satisfying repast.” In this masterclass we cover - 1. The art of sharing timeless wisdom through aphorisms 2. Frameworks on resilience, grit and navigating difficult times 3. Mental models on success, leadership and happiness

Shashi Tharoor, a serving Member of Parliament (Indian National Congress) of the Lok Sabha from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala and the former under-secretary general of the United Nations, forms the subject of Divya Reddy's article in the book 'Ten Heads of Ravana'. In popular media and for most aspirational urban Indians, Tharoor is seen as a slick and eloquent interpreter of Hinduism for the twenty-first century. Reddy shows that Tharoor's work on Hinduism consists of an assortment of theories drawn from colonial Indologists and historians. These historians have been rejected because they used the colonized lens to conjure a history of India. They denied the indigenous origin of the country's mainstream culture, instead giving credit to foreign ‘invaders' while devaluing India's cultural heritage by portraying it as less ancient than its true accounts. Considering Tharoor's work on Hinduism and religious conversions, Reddy shows how he has distorted and misinterpreted the notion of ‘liberalism' and ‘pluralism' inherent in Hinduism to convince an average ‘Macaulaiyzed' English speaking Hindu youth, who has no deep moorings in Hindu thinking. Tharoor's eloquence, public persona and good use of English have catapulted him as a world spokesman on Indian cuture, but Reddy exposes his inauthenticity.
