Who is Ishan Tharoor? Meet journalist son of Shashi Tharoor who questioned father
In a moment that drew attention both in diplomatic circles and the Indian media, Ishan Tharoor, a Washington-based journalist and son of senior Congress MP Shashi Tharoor , posed a pointed question to his father during an official engagement in the United States. The query revolved around Pakistan's role in the Pahalgam terror attack , which claimed 26 lives. As Shashi Tharoor led a multi-party Indian delegation on Operation Sindoor , Ishan, in his professional capacity, raised questions regarding international response and Pakistan's repeated denials—bringing family, politics, and journalism into one spotlight. Ishan Tharoor: Columnist at The Washington Post Ishan Tharoor is an established global affairs columnist at The Washington Post, where he regularly covers international diplomacy, geopolitics, and historical legacies shaping today's world. His journalistic career spans nearly two decades, starting with Time magazine before moving to The Washington Post in 2014. He has earned a reputation for his analytical and critical insights into complex global issues. Educational background and early life of Ishan Tharoor Born in Singapore in 1984, Ishan is the twin son of Shashi Tharoor, who was then serving as an international diplomat. He studied at Yale University, graduating in 2006 with a degree in history focused on race and migration. He was also awarded the prestigious Sudler Fellowship, a mark of distinction in the arts and humanities. Academic contributions Beyond journalism, Ishan has also engaged in academia. Between 2018 and 2020, he worked as an adjunct instructor at Georgetown University, where he taught a course titled Global Affairs in the Digital Age at the university's School of Foreign Service. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Just Add 1 Drop Of This Household Item To Any Dark Spot And Wait 3 Minutes Dark Spot Corrector Undo His academic focus aligns closely with his journalistic beat—global politics and historical narratives. The moment that made headlines During a public interaction in Washington, D.C., where his father was representing India in Operation Sindoor, Ishan asked Shashi Tharoor whether any of the countries visited demanded evidence of Pakistan's involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack. He also raised the issue of Pakistan's consistent denial of such allegations. The question sparked conversations across media for its boldness and irony—son grilling father on a sensitive geopolitical issue. US: Tharoor's Savage Reply After His Journalist Son Ishaan Confronts On Proof Against Pakistan Shashi Tharoor's response Shashi Tharoor responded that no country had asked for proof, citing a '37-year pattern' of Pakistani involvement in similar attacks. He emphasized that India's retaliatory measures were based on strong evidence and that global partners recognized this context. He humorously noted that he hadn't 'planted' the question, acknowledging Ishan's journalistic independence. Public reactions and legacy The father-son exchange has been widely discussed as a rare instance where professional duty intersected with personal ties on an international stage. It also reinforced Ishan Tharoor's standing as a credible journalist unafraid to ask tough questions—even to his own father.

Harsimrat urges Jaishankar to sensitise UAE on ‘kirpan' ban advisory
Bathinda SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday appealed to external affairs minister S Jaishankar to sensitise the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government about the Sikh articles of faith, particularly regarding the wearing of the kirpan and kataar. Her appeal came in response to a recent advisory issued by the Indian Embassy in the UAE, cautioning Indian citizens against carrying sharp objects in line with Article 405 of the UAE penal law. The advisory has led to 'deep distress and mental agony' among Sikh residents and travellers, as the kirpan, a sacred article of faith, falls under the category of restricted items. In her letter, Badal cited increasing instances of Sikhs being detained or forced to remove their kirpan and kataar in the UAE. She referenced a recent case in which an elderly Sikh man was reportedly detained in Abu Dhabi for wearing his kirpan and turban, incidents she said have caused 'mental agony' to the global Sikh community. 'The kirpan is not a weapon of violence but a spiritual and symbolic emblem of justice and responsibility as mandated by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Denying Sikhs the right to wear their five kakkars, especially the kirpan, is a serious infringement on their religious freedom,' she said. Badal called on the ministry of external affairs to send a high-level delegation, including members of the National Commission for Minorities and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), to hold constructive dialogue with the authorities in the UAE and international agencies. The aim would be to sensitise them about Sikh beliefs and ensure respect for religious practices. She emphasised the positive contribution of the Sikh community globally, including in the UAE, and underlined that mutual respect for religious identity was essential in upholding India's values of pluralism and diversity.
