Everyone speaks with an accent, but what is an accent? Thinking with an Accent: Toward a New Object, Method, and Practice (UC Press, 2023) introduces accent as a powerfully coded yet underexplored mode of perception that includes looking, listening, acting, reading, and thinking. This volume convenes scholars of media, literature, education, law, language, and sound to theorize accent as an object of inquiry, an interdisciplinary method, and an embodied practice. Accent does more than just denote identity: from algorithmic bias and corporate pedagogy to migratory poetics and the politics of comparison, accent mediates global economies of discrimination and desire. Accents happen between bodies and media. They negotiate power and invite attunement. These essays invite the reader to think with an accent—to practice a dialogical and multimodal inquiry that can yield transformative modalities of knowledge, action, and care. Thinking with an Accent won the American Comparative Literature Association's 2024 Rene Wellek Prize for Best Edited Collection.

Tharoor faces Congress leadership's ire for breaking from party line on Op Sindoor, Trump's claims   https://theprint.in/politics/tharoor-faces-congress-leaderships-ire-for-breaking-from-party-line-on-op-sindoor-trumps-claims/2626080/

Concern about inequality is fine but will our government re-distribute income? What exactly do we propose to solve unemployment?The Congress has a history of 140 years and the BJP just 45, but does today's youth care? Shashi Tharoor asks probing questions but Gandhi's Congress won't answer.

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.

From no-show at Mahakumbh and Bengaluru Investor Meet to promotion of NPAs and neglect of bright leaders like Tharoor, Hooda, Pilot and Tewari-- Rahul Gandhi's colleagues in Congress have many questions. Why he won't answer them, ThePrint Political Editor DK Singh explains in this episode of #PoliticallyCorrect ----more----https://theprint.in/opinion/politically-correct/vibhishan-gujarat-congress-rahul-gandhi-blaming-colleagues/2541903/

The Congress party is facing internal turmoil, and senior leader Shashi Tharoor has openly pointed out the widening cracks. With leadership struggles, ideological confusion, and electoral setbacks, is Congress heading toward an irreversible decline? Sanjay Dixit analyzes the internal crisis, Tharoor's statements, and the party's uncertain future in India's evolving political landscape.

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

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 10th of September and here are the headlines.A showpiece bilateral jobs scheme, under which Indians would be taken to Israel to work in the construction sector, after over 100,000 Palestinian workers were banned in the wake of the Hamas attack of October 7 last year, is threatening to unravel. An Indian Express investigation has revealed that the key reason is a glaring skill mismatch after an assessment process that over-promised and under-delivered when it came to workers' abilities. Israel has since taken the unprecedented step of allowing these workers to be re-deployed in unskilled or industrial jobs in non-construction sectors to avoid “damage” to “important relations” between both countries.Hundres of junior doctors today marched towards Swasthya Bhawan, the headquarters of the state health department, which is located in Salt Lake. After the Supreme Court's direction to the agitating doctors to resume their work by 5 pm today, the medics set the same time as the deadline for the West Bengal government to accept their charter of demands. The doctors' demands include the resignation of Kolkata Police Commissioner, state Health Secretary, Director of Health Education (DHE), and Director of Health Services (DHS).During his ongoing visit to the US, Rahul Gandhi has kept up his attacks on the Narendra Modi government, accusing it of trying to undermine the Constitution and standing in the way of holding a nationwide caste census, themes that defined the Opposition's campaign in the parliamentary elections. In his talks at universities abroad in the past few years, Gandhi, has accused the BJP government of stifling free speech; indulging in crony capitalism; attacking federalism; capturing Indian institutions, including the media; depriving the Opposition of a level playing field; and spreading communalism in an attempt to destroy India's pluralism.The Supreme Court today stayed the proceedings in the criminal defamation case filed by a BJP leader against Congress MP Shashi Tharoor over certain remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Tharoor had approached the top court challenging the August 29 Delhi High Court order dismissing his plea to quash the proceedings. Appearing for the senior Congress leader, Advocate Mohammed Ali Khan informed the court that he had only quoted from an article published by the Caravan Magazine in 2012 that contained an alleged remark by an unnamed RSS leader comparing Narendra Modi to “a scorpion sitting on a Shivling”. The counsel wondered how the remark became defamatory in 2018 when it was not so in 2012.Israeli strikes in a supposedly safe zone of southern Gaza before dawn today, killed scores of people, according to Palestinian officials. Israel said it had struck a command centre for Hamas fighters whom it said had infiltrated the designated "humanitarian" area in al-Mawasi, a vast camp on sandy soil where the military has told hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to shelter since ordering them out of their homes. Hamas denied any fighters were present. The Gaza civil emergency service said it believed at least 65 people had been killed or wounded, but could not provide a breakdown of casualties.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

"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.

Shruti and Neha start off with a detailed breakdown of who's who, the setting, and historical references. We then dive into the story, its allusions, the satire, and Tharoor's writing style.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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

He is one of India's most flamboyant politicians. A former diplomat, a historian, a writer, a former minister and a Member of Parliament (Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala) from the Congress party, Shashi Tharoor wears several hats. In a candid conversation with Aarti Tikoo, Dr Tharoor speaks on issues that concern us.

Shashi Tharoor should get the Oomen Chandy faction's backing, but K.C. Venugopal, V.D. Satheesan and Ramesh Chennithala can gang up to deny him the opportunity.

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.

Amitabh Kant draws attention towards ‘Global South' at G20 Sherpas' meet, Tharoor responds after NCP leader invites him to join party, Scientist who worked at China's Wuhan lab says Covid was man-made: Report and other top news in this bulletin.

The “chief sufferers” of Partition, according to Mohandas Gandhi, were women. As the subcontinent descended into chaos, women of all three religious communities become prime targets in the war for honor and land. Across the Punjab, tens of thousands of women and girls were assaulted, abducted and trafficked across the border. In response, the governments of India and ­Pakistan worked together to recover them – with mixed, and tragic, results.  Sources: Akbar, M.J. Tinderbox: The Past and Future of Pakistan. 2011.

In this podcast, we cover - 1. Interpreting Ambedkar for India today and in 2050 2. Understanding Ambedkar on gender, caste and his relationship with Gandhi 3. The intellectual history and multitudes of Ambedkar's work and writings Babasaheb Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, MA, MSc, PhD, DSc, DLitt, Bar-at-Law, is today among the most revered of Indians, his statues across the country second only in number to those of Mahatma Gandhi. In this new biography, Tharoor tells Ambedkar's story with great lucidity, insight, and admiration. He traces the arc of the great man's life from his birth into a family of Mahars in the Bombay Presidency on 14 April 1891 to his death in Delhi on 6 December 1956. He describes the many humiliations and hurdles Ambedkar had to overcome in a society that stigmatized the community he was born into, and the single-minded determination with which he overcame every obstacle he encountered. We are given insights into the various battles Ambedkar fought to make untouchability illegal, his disputes with the other political and intellectual giants of his era, including Gandhi and Nehru, and his determination to invest India with a visionary Constitution that enshrined within it the inalienable rights of the individual and modern conceptions of social justice. ‘In so doing,' writes Tharoor, ‘he transformed the lives of millions yet unborn, heaving an ancient civilization into the modern era through the force of his intellect and the power of his pen.' Deeply researched, searching, and insightful, Ambedkar: A Life offers readers a fresh and profound understanding of one of the greatest Indians who ever lived.

Hindi News (हिंदी समाचार), Breaking News in Hindi: Congress: Kharge wins, but what will happen with Tharoor? क्या कांग्रेस ने खो दिया बदलाव का मौका? कितनी बड़ी चुनौती खरगे के सामने? एनालिसिस डेली न्यूजकास्ट में

Hello, this is your daily dose of news from Onmanorama. Tune in to get updated about the major news stories of the day.

Shashi Tharoor's campaign to be Congress president has earned him affection, support and opposition in equal measure. What sets him apart? Is he too elitist, as some people believe, or is he the answer the Congress needs after years of stagnation? He's labelled himself the candidate of change, so what's the change on his agenda? Most importantly, can he win? Economist, political commentator, Congressman and prominent Tharoor backer Salman Anees Soz, and policy advocate Rohit Tripathi speak to All Indians Matter.

First, Indian Express' Udit Misra joins host Shashank Bhargava to explain the UK tax cut fiasco, why it led the British to take a hit, and the lessons it has for India.Next, Indian Express' Manoj CG talks about the Congress presidential election, and why a lot more leaders are supporting Mallikarjun Kharge rather than Shashi Tharoor (15:12).And in the end, we go over the statements made by the RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, and the significance they have for the BJP (24:54).

Both the articulation of the Congress's problem and the proposal of possible solutions will be a significant legacy of the ongoing contest. Even if, as is likely, Tharoor loses this so-called election, the party should listen to him.

Can the Congress politician sacrifice the search for patronage? The answer to this question will indeed determine the future of India's oldest party.----more----Read the article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/kharge-tharoor-wont-matter-its-the-definition-of-congress-politician-that-must-change/1152523/

On today's show, we take you to London for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. Plus, the colonial legacy and potential future of the monarchy without her leadership.Read more: The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-serving monarch, was laid in the royal vault at Windsor Castle on Monday. The funeral procession marks the end of 10 days of national mourning. London correspondent Karla Adam describes how thousands of people camped near Westminster Abbey to watch the funeral procession. “There were sleeping bags. A lot of people brought toys or games or chess sets just to pass the time because they've been camping out for a day or two,” she said, while others watched from big screens across the city.The queen's passing has been marked around the world with tributes from world leaders and around-the-clock media coverage. But as foreign affairs columnist Ishaan Tharoor shares later in the show, it also sparked criticism of the monarchy's past and debates about the relevancy of the institution. “It's important to look at the queen in her own right as opposed to the queen as this icon of the empire,” Tharoor says. “It is also very hard to separate that, because what is the queen without being an icon of empire?”Follow The Post's live coverage of the funeral here.

Shashi Tharoor, the Mahua Moitra of Congress, tweeted a cartoon showing Aurangzeb surprised to find that he is not in history but in current affairs. The irony notwithstanding, the sheer hypocrisy of apologists like Tharoor simply shows a blindness they have for ground realities. Is constitutional morality just a veil, a cooked up label, to endure minoritarian violence in the name of desecration and insult, such as what happened last week in the Sikh-dominated Punjab? The answer is, of course, yes, because constitutional morality applies only to Hindus, as amply evidenced by the recent verdict by the Supreme Court on allowing non-Hindus to participating in the process of shops to be leased around a Hindu temple. What, by the way, constitutes the bounds of a constitutional Hindu temple? The outer walls? The sanctum? The idol? Amidst all these is the government mandate on linking Aadhaar with the voter card, an exercise fraught with untold miseries. Incidentally, this is being opposed in the name of political profiling, a most dunderheaded reason, which only proves that the opposition still has a long way to go.

Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP party came to power in 2014, India has seen an increase in Hindu nationalism and a rise in hostility towards the Muslim minority population. Politician and writer Shashi Tharoor believes the country is at a crossroads. His recently published book, The Struggle for India's Soul, looks at the political direction of the world's second most populous nation, which he contends is splitting into two opposing factions: ethno-religious nationalists and liberal civic nationalists. If the ethno-religious nationalists prevail, he says, millions of non-Hindus would be stripped of their identity. Tharoor joins historian, author and broadcaster Rana Mitter to discuss the book and what lies ahead for India. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Writer, politician and public intellectual Shashi Tharoor is the award-winning author of over 20 books of fiction and non-fiction. His predilection for long words has also created a sub- genre of #Tharoorisms. On #JLFLondonAtBL2020, Tharoor speaks with author & journalist James Crabtree of his latest book ‘Tharoorosaurus’ and shares some whimsical anecdotes behind his vocabulary. This episode is the audio version of a live online session from #JLFLondonAtBL2020.

Well, the Facebook row has now intensified into a full-blown war, with the two main parties in India--the BJP and the Congress-- making allegations and counter-allegations over the issue.   The political slugfest started after Tharoor's announcement that the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology would like to hear Facebook's views on the report published in Wall Street Journal on Saturday. The report mentioned that Facebook overlooked its hate speech policies in the cases of Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party MLA T Raja Singh and three other “Hindu nationalist individuals and groups” in order to safeguard the social media platform's business prospects.   Singh had said on Facebook that Rohingya Muslim immigrants should be shot, and had threatened to destroy mosques. It also stated that one of Facebook's top public policy executives in India “opposed applying hate-speech rules” to individuals linked with the BJP even though they were “flagged internally for promoting violence”.   Current and former Facebook employees told The Wall Street Journal that the decision was part of a pattern of favoritism by Facebook toward the BJP as it seeks more business in India. Facebook also took no action after BJP politicians made posts accusing Muslims of intentionally spreading Covid-19, an employee said. Listen to the podcast for more

Why I am a Hindu (2018) is a masterful reflection on the impact of religion on one’s personal and national identity. In Why I am a Hindu, Shashi Tharoor, one of India’s leading politicians, offers a personal reflection on how his relationship with Hinduism shapes both his personal and national identities along with his political ideology. Unpacking the 4,000-year-old history of his religion in an accessible manner for beginners, Tharoor charts the progression of Hinduism in modern day and attacks the Hindutva movement which he argues is perverting the sacred tradition of Hinduism today.

Welcome to the First Episode of Year 2 of Independent Thought and FreedomIndia is the world's 3rd largest economy today, after the US and China, but it doesn't wield political and economic power in world affairs commensurate with its weight.Compared to smaller economies Russia, Israel, Turkey, or even Iran, for instance, let alone China, India's influence pales in comparison.At a time when the world is in turmoil from Hong Kong, to Iran to Syria to Venezuela, this is significant.However, India has been undergoing a tremendous transformation domestically, with Narendra Modi and the BJP establishing its political dominance in a shift toward Hindutva nationalism.This parallels shifting political paradigms all over the world from centrist liberalism to populist nationalism.What role -- if any -- will India play in the current reshaping of the world that is occuring before our very eyes?How will India reshape itself?Today, my guest can perhaps answer this question better than anyone else.I am honoured and pleased to welcome Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Member of Parliament of the Republic of India since 2009 and former Minister of State for External Affairs and Minister of Human Resource Development.Before getting in politics, Dr. Tharoor had a most distinguished career as a diplomat at the United Nations, last serving as UnderSecretary-General. He came in second place to replace Kofi Annan, losing to Ban Ki-Moon after he was vetoed by the United States.Dr. Tharoor is also an acclaimed writer, having authored 18 bestselling works of fiction and non-fiction since 1981, and has written hundreds of columns and articles in publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, TIME, Newsweek, and The Times of India. Throughout his career, he has received too many awards to mention, but I will just note the Commonwealth Writer's Prize, the Global Leader of Tomorrow at the World Economic Forum in Davos, GQ's Inspiration of the Year Award, "New Age Politician of the Year" Award, Digital Person of the Year award, PETA's person of the year, and it goes on and on. And there will be more to come, I am certain. We discuss- The refugee bill and the discrimination against non-Hindus- Should religion determine the basis of nationhood?- Religious fundamentalism difference between Pakistan Independence and Indian Independence- The rise of the "chauvinistic" BJP as a betrayal of the secular Indian Independence struggle- Should India be a homeland for Hindu refugees?- challenging discrimination against Indian Muslims by the BJP- balancing a critique of the old liberal, Western system with a defense of the universal relevance of Western democracy and secularism- the BJP's narrow interpret- Swami Vivekananda's critique of "tolerance" and advocacy of "acceptance"- Hinduism as Indian liberalism vs. Hindutva as illiberal Hinduism- the changes in nationalism from the Indian Independence Movement - George Orwell's differentiation between patriotism and nationalism- the implications of these views for the place of India in the world- his new book "New Word Disorder and the Indian Imperative"- India's place in the new emerging world order 

In an era of technological advancement, where the growth of the digital economy has meant the use of data as a critical means of communication, the Personal Data Protection Bill is proposed to ensure the informational privacy of individuals, and ensuring empowerment, progress and innovation The Personal Data Protection Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, and referred to a Joint Select Committee (JSC) following a voice vote.  Well, according to parliamentary procedure, the Bill could also have been referred to the departmental committee, which in this case, would be the parlimentary standing committee on information technology, headed by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. However, it didn’t happen that way and Tharoor objected to the proposal of sending the Bill to the JSC and also wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to register "strong concerns" with Prasad's proposal. He said the Committee on IT has a mandate and a parliamentary responsibility to examine all matters related to information technology, electronics, telecommunications, postal services, and allied services. As a matter of fact, the draft was not circulated well in advance of its presentation in Parliament and comments and submissions made during the drafting process were not made public. Besides, the government has taken extraordinary measures to reduce public scrutiny, and even Parliamentary examination of the Personal Data Protection Bill. This lack of scrutiny makes it more likely that multiple areas of concern will not be addressed. Some of them include:  The independence of the proposed Data Protection Authority (DPA), which has been weakened as all members must be from the executive arm of government. This contrasts with the Srikrishna Committee’s suggestion that the DPA induct individuals with executive, judicial, and external expertise. Besides, if social media platforms are forced to provide processes for “voluntary” user-verification, this would chill freedom of expression, and impinge on the privacy of those who chose to be verified.  Any user who does not submit “voluntary” verification and remains anonymous could also be specifically targeted by government agencies. Moreover, it would increase the risk of profiling, and data breaches as more data would flow to social media platforms.  The mandate for enforced transfer of “non-personal” data to government could also lead to abuse and misuse.  This means even anonymised information about e-commerce sales patterns can, for example, be used to infer personal details like caste, religion, medical conditions, sexuality, reading habits and so on. Tying non-personal data to personal data, such as electoral rolls, income tax records, mobile call and internet-usage patterns and social media usage is possible since government has access to such data and a free hand with surveillance.  Critics argue that it is a pity that India’s first privacy legislation has so many holes.  However, looking at the positive front, the bill ensures...

Learn English with Dr. Shashi Tharoor's Stirring Speech at Oxford Union. Dr. Tharoor in an excellent speech reminded Britain of what they had done to India. For more, visit: https://www.englishspeecheschannel.com

In one of his most extensive interviews till date, Shashi Tharoor speaks to The Deshbhakt for close to an hour on a wide range of issues. From Narendra Modi insulting sanskriti – buy dragging Rajiv Gandhi's name into the election slugfest - to how the Sabrimala issue cannot be looked at only with the lens of Civil Law. While the Indian National Congress did take time to bounce back from the 2014 debacle, Tharoor says that the party and Rahul Gandhi has done a lot of good work in terms of leadership and communication. He believes that given the inputs from the first few rounds of polling - the BJP is going to be history on the 23rd of May. Tharoor also takes some tough punches on Rahul Gandhi's leadership, nepotism in the Congress and the Sunanda Pushkar case that the police is dragging its feet on. He also makes a strong point on how Hindutva needs to be seen as the opposite of the Hindu religion - and nothing more than a political ideology.

This week's Reporters Without Orders features host Cherry Agarwal with Newslaundry's head of research Ayush Tiwari and desk writer Gaurav Sarkar. The panel talks about the impact Sandeep Bamzai's tutelage has had on IANS, a petition presented to the Supreme Court seeking permission for Muslim women to offer namaaz in mosques and Maneka Gandhi's comments on the un-secret nature of secret ballots.Ayush kickstarts the discussion with his own article about how a news agency, IANS, that has off late become "a part of the larger trend of media layoffs" as it suffocates under the corporate ownership of Mr Anil Ambani. He reveals examples of reporters at IANS and establishes a growing pattern alongside other media organizations such as Vice and Buzzfeed. The panel goes on to discuss the intricacies of corporate ownership and the direct influence they exercise on editorial management. Ayush also talks about a Swarajya Magazine report about how the family of a minor Dalit girl who was kidnapped by a man that happened to be Muslim were denied the right to file an FIR by the police since they did not want it to flare up into a ‘Hindu-Muslim' issue. The panel then went into discussing the implications of ‘pseudo-secularism' that dominates the Indian narrative today.Gaurav discusses an archaic ritual that Shashi Tharoor made a mockery of himself participating in. The ritual, called ‘Tulabharam', is one where a person's “BMI is weighed in phool, phal and gold” and Tharoor fell off the scales having to endure 11 stitches afterwards. The panel delved into the problems associated with the endorsement by politicians of religious traditions such as these and the implications that such engagement had on the sentiments of the voting public. He also brought up a recent plea put before the Supreme Court by a Pune-based couple that sought permission to let women offer prayers in mosques. The discussion questioned the fast-paced nature of the proceedings as well nuances of religion such as the “contest between personal liberty and religion” and the stronghold of the religious orthodoxy.Cherry drives the conversation towards the larger question of the responsibility of the media. She references a specific tweet by Times Now that says, “A political leader has said something communal, listen in” and questions the ethicality of cashing in on hate in the name of journalism. While Ayush agrees that its ‘clickbait' tone was questionable, it is not the place of the media to dictate whether something, communal or otherwise, should be censored or not. The media should contextualize information, is what the panel agrees on, irrespective of that content that is. Cherry goes on to talk about Maneka Gandhi's comment on not helping Muslim voters if they didn't vote for her and lays down the reality of contemporary times wherein the concept of secret ballots is conceptually dead. With the Election Commission now providing politicians with a constituency-wise break up of votes via Form 20, the panel dived deep into the vulnerability of voters today.The panel also brings up the ineffectiveness of the EC and the Supreme Courts backhand comments on its exercise of powers, the trend of the Supreme Court gaining an “inordinate amount of power”, as well as the oft-ignored details of Islam in terms of its various schools of law.This and more, so listen up!

With Donald Trump verbally capitulating to Vladimir Putin during the Helsinki summit July 16, the Russia investigation heating up, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigating the NRA for potential money laundering for the benefit of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, Trump is clearly embroiled in a great deal of controversy. But in the face of it, Trump tells the American people to believe him over the facts that are publicly available. Evangelical leaders are also steering their flock toward belief in Trump - elevating their defenses of Trump over the Bible they state is inerrant.

Visit our website for events, training and forums: www.baatn.org.uk In this episode of the podcast Smita Tharoor will be turning our attention to our unconscious bias and how it can influence our decision making and collaboration with others. Smita grew up in secular India which taught her the value of tolerance and the appreciation of accepting differences. She is passionate about the unconscious bias and how it impacts on us and she has brought her passion for this subject to the UK, India, Europe, Asia and the USA.

Indian MP, former diplomat, contributor to The New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek International and TIME, and author of 16 books that range across history, culture, literature and politics, Shashi Tharoor has achieved rock star status in India and abroad. He has described India as “not …an underdeveloped country, but rather, in the context of its history and cultural heritage, a highly developed one in an advanced state of decay”. In one of Tharoor’s latest book Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India he tackles the concept of Empire and its effect post 1947. He speaks, in a wide-ranging conversation, with Michael Williams. Supported by Asia New Zealand Foundation.

We gaze uneasily to the future with Doctorow, look back on the history of the British Raj with Tharoor, and some comic relief comes from Fielding’s hapless heroine Bridget Jones

On the news today- Trump’s new travel order, Malaysia expels North Korea’s envoy, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ gaffe could be costly, British don't teach colonial history in schools: Tharoor, 110 die in 48 hours due to drought in Somalia and Premier League results

Growing up in India taught Smita Tharoor the value of tolerance and the acceptance and appreciation of differences. In this podcast, Tharoor discusses her work helping others become more conscious of their unconscious bias, the value of cultural awareness, and the insights she has gained from working in the very different workplace cultures of the UK and in India. UK-based Tharoor is the founder of Tharoor Associates, a training, coaching and organizational development company. She will be a guest speaker at SWE's WE conference in India in April 2016, delivering a session titled “Are You Conscious of Your Unconscious Bias?” Tharoor discusses recent research that revealed that those who believe they are not biased are in fact likely to be the most biased — and ways to work more effectively with those individuals.

Shashi Tharoor Jeetega Zaroor was the campaign slogan that his supporters chanted when a precocious Tharoor was running for the president of his college union. He won then and three decades later, in 2009, Dr Shashi tharoor won again, this time as the Indian Minister of State for External Affairs and a member of the Indian Parliament from the Trivandrum constituency in Kerala. In this podcast, Dr Tharoor talks about his experience as a diplomat at the UN and the eventful transition to Indian politics. In his beautiful and typical story telling style, he shares anecdotes about how he not only connected to the masses on the Internet but more importantly went the extra mile to win the hearts and minds of the labour class. He also shares his views on the unintended controversy that Twitter gave birth to.
