Discover the ‘write' side of Shashi Tharoor
Diplomat, party spokesperson, civil servant, minister, wordsmith—even a stand-up comic (for a short time): Shashi Tharoor wears many hats—and wears them well. But the man who is currently going around the world, casting wordy spells as he carries India's message on Operation Sindoor to the global stage, is also a remarkably prolific author. In fact, he first came to national (indeed, international) attention with a book: The Great Indian Novel (1989). And as in other walks of life, his literary work is rich in variety. You might expect him to focus primarily on political matters, but Tharoor has never limited himself to any one genre. He has written biographies, essays (including on cricket), analyses, travelogues, critiques, and even novels. Indeed, until he pens a proper, no-holds-barred autobiography (and we're sure he will), his books—he has nearly two dozen to his name and surely more to come—are an excellent way to understand the man who weaves magic with his words, spoken and written, for a wide variety of audiences. The Great Indian Novel (1989) brought Shashi Tharoor into the literary spotlight in the late 80s. A work of fiction, it remains his most famous—and, in the opinion of many (us included), his best book. It showcases all the Tharoor hallmarks: wit, humour, wordplay, and sarcasm, blended with a keen sense of history and mythology. And what history and mythology it is—because The Great Indian Novel is actually a retelling and reimagining of the Indian freedom struggle and the decades that followed, narrated in the style of perhaps the greatest Indian epic of them all, the Mahabharata. Tharoor reimagines characters from Ved Vyas' epic as legendary freedom fighters and political figures, often blending names with telling effect. Across its 380-odd pages, you'll encounter Jayaprakash Drona, Priya Duryodhini, Mohammad Ali Karna, the Kaurav Party (Real), and the Kaurav Party (Old Guard). Often darkly funny, sometimes moving, and always fast-paced, this is one of those rare books that can be picked up for sheer entertainment, only to leave the reader deep in thought—accompanied by the occasional giggle. Indian leaders have generally not been well-served by their biographers. Most biographies tend to be either overly critical or excessively hagiographical—rambling affairs, rich in detail but poor in narrative. Tharoor changed that with his compact biography of Jawaharlal Nehru in 2003. Nehru: The Invention of India was released in a small, almost pocketbook format, spanning just over 275 pages. Yet it offered a more complete picture of India's first Prime Minister than many far weightier tomes. Tharoor's take on Nehru is largely positive, but what makes the book special is its ability to capture Nehru's essence and his importance to India without falling into excessive adulation. He notes Nehru's 'classic Little Lord Fauntleroy upbringing' and does not shy away from discussing how a corrupt bureaucracy is as much a part of Nehru's legacy as his achievements. Tharoor sticks to sound narrative basics—no extravagant flourishes here. In this, he's like a stroke player curbing flair for the sake of a bigger score. The result is perhaps the best short biography ever written of any Indian leader: succinct yet substantial. If there is one book you should read about Nehru—it is this, it is this, it is this. A significant portion of Tharoor's writing post his entry into active politics reflects the views of his party and its leadership. However, there are moments when he takes off his political hat and dons his academic one. One of those moments was An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India (2017). Later re-released as Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India, the book won the Ramnath Goenka Award for Excellence in Journalism (2017) and the Sahitya Akademi Award (2019). Inspired by his now-viral 2015 Oxford Union speech on colonial reparations, the book—about 330 pages long—is perhaps the most accessible, easy-to-read account of the consequences of British colonial rule in India. Some academics have called it one-sided and bitter, but Tharoor's righteous outrage burns through the pages. 'Britain's rise for two hundred years was financed by its depredation of India,' he observes, dismantling the myths that suggest the British gave India political unity or a free press. This is Tharoor in debate mode—armed with data, arguments, and flashes of wit and sarcasm. It's compelling stuff, even if classic historians might occasionally wince. Agathokakological, fefenestrate, floccinaucinihilipilification… Booking that Tharoor Vocabulary Shashi Tharoor's command of the English language has achieved near-legendary status. His use of words many have never encountered has repeatedly expanded his audience's vocabulary. For those enchanted by his linguistic flair, Tharoorosaurus (Penguin Random House, 2020) is the perfect pick. A compact volume (336 pages), it's easily the most entertaining book Tharoor has written. It features 53 of his favourite rare words, with definitions, etymologies, trivia, and even cartoons. Included are delights like Agathokakological, Cromulent, Defenestrate, Floccinaucinihilipilification, Kakistocracy, Rodomontade, and Snollygoster, alongside more familiar terms like Vigilante, Yogi, and Namaste. Whether or not he ever pens a tell-all memoir, we hope Tharoor writes several sequels to this book. It may not be as profound as some of his other works, but it delivers information memorably and always with a smile. A bit like the man himself.

SVT's Mingyu and S.Coups attend Sulli's ex Choiza's show, triggering boycott calls amid Kim Soo Hyun–Kim Sae Ron scandal
SEVENTEEN members and Mingyu are facing intense backlash following the announcement of their upcoming appearance on Choiza ROAD, a YouTube variety series hosted by rapper Choiza of Dynamic Duo. What was intended as a light-hearted promotional feature has instead sparked controversy, largely due to Choiza's past relationship with the late singer and actress Sulli. Her tragic death has resurfaced in public discourse—especially in light of the recent controversy involving Kim Soo Hyun and the passing of his ex-girlfriend Kim Sae Ron. Both Sulli and Kim Sae Ron have been linked to troubling allegations of exploitation and grooming within the entertainment industry, reigniting conversations about the darker realities faced by young stars. [17'S] 250530 #최자로드#SEVENTEEN #세븐틴 Choiza under fire amid Kim Soo Hyun-Kim Sae Ron scandal Choiza dated Sulli from 2013 to 2017, during which their relationship was often in the media spotlight. While some reported the duo knew each other since she was 15 years old. Some say they only started dating once she became of legal age and was 19-years-old. In particular, he faced criticism in 2015 for the sexually suggestive lyrics in the Dynamic Duo song Eat Do It Sleep from the album Grand Carnival. As someone who still cries every time she talks about her favorite girl, Sulli, I'm sorry, but I cannot support that matter how much I love SEVENTEEN, I will never support any collaboration involving problematic artists. Though never confirmed to be directed at Sulli, many interpreted the lyrics as disrespectful, especially when the actress was facing intense public scrutiny. Allegations of emotional manipulation and inappropriate public commentary during their relationship had further fueled negative sentiment toward Choiza over the years. Now, years later, SEVENTEEN's planned appearance on Choiza's show has reopened old wounds, with fans questioning the appropriateness of idols associating with a figure still linked to unresolved controversies. Why are Mingyu and are facing backlash The backlash has been amplified by the ongoing Kim Soo Hyun–Kim Sae Ron scandal, which has heightened public sensitivity toward celebrity behavior and accountability. Though Sulli and Kim Sae Ron were not known to be personally close, both were linked to actor Kim Soo Hyun through the film Real (2017). Recently, Sulli's brother, Choi Da Hee, made a cryptic social media post naming Kim Sae Ron among others, leading to renewed speculation and drawing further attention to the network of relationships tied to Sulli's tragic story. In this emotionally charged environment, fans argue that SEVENTEEN's appearance on Choiza ROAD is ill-timed and insensitive. Carats call for action The backlash from SEVENTEEN's fandom, known as Carats, has been swift and vocal. While the group recently made a successful return with their album HAPPY BURSTDAY and title track Thunder, fans say the promotional effort is being overshadowed by what they see as a tone-deaf decision. Many have taken to social media to call for a boycott of the episode and are urging PLEDIS Entertainment to cancel the appearance altogether. Critics stress that idols—especially those with large, young fanbases—should not be associated with controversial figures whose past actions remain a source of pain and division in the K-pop community. We do not support the horrible doings that Choiza did to Sulli. Both admins are women before will not be posting MG and SC on that show. As women, it hurts to see that our fave artists are making content with someone who did awful things to a you. I always love you but not by coming to an event where men who are mean to women are still living well without guilty I strongly urge everyone NOT TO WATCH nor SUPPORT THIS! We can love SEVENTEEN and still speak up when something feels wrong. Support them, but say no to working with problematic figures. Stay informed, respectful, and firm.#Protect_SEVENTEEN #Boycott_Choiza_Road PROTECT SEVENTEEN AT ALL COST, CANCEL THE COLLABORATION WITH CHOIZA#SVT #MINGYU #SCOUPS #protectthemhybeandpledis While Choiza and Dynamic Duo remain veterans of the Korean music industry, fans believe that entertainment companies must exercise greater caution and cultural awareness when arranging public appearances.
