At ThePrint’s Off The Cuff, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor says party will end up becoming ‘Congress Zero’ if it tries to emulate BJP. He also said the post-liberalisation Congress has not been left of centre.
Centre criticised for not taking states into confidence, for the plight of migrant workers and for delaying Covid measures ‘to topple Madhya Pradesh government’.
Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor has gone against the Congress party line, supporting the privatisation of the airport by Adani group that won the bid.
The IT panel, meanwhile, decided to summon representatives of Facebook & IT ministry on 2 September to hear their views on measures taken to prevent misuse of social media platforms.
Perhaps the present crisis and trauma can force our country into something resembling that special moment we found in the sixties. Perhaps we can radically alter our business environment.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Janeudhari, Soft-Hindutva, Alliance with Shiv Sena, the Love affair with AUDF – Still pretending to be holier than thou? The BJP has not broken any rule that the Congress hasn’t already broken.
Pre-Islam and before the European traders hit Indian shores, Hinduism was an inclusive and non-judgemental religion. But the advent of the Abrahmic religions with their “my way or the highway” philosophy has forced Hinduism over 700 years to lose territory (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka), lakhs of lives and converts and also gave birth to a breed of self-deprecating Indians, who in positions of power rewrote our history books and denied the truth to Hindus. Hence, to protect oneself and project power in future, a political version of Hinduism, namely Hindutva, was necessary to keep the followers of the Abrahmic religions at bay. Tharoor speaks smoothly but he mostly speaks empty words bereft of ideology.
They need to become nothing under Pappu and Italian Sonia other than a real-estate holding company. Is it hard to see that they are so irrelevant even regional parties with young leaders are looking at them and saying “Stay out of our state”.
Shashi ji forgets the logical (and philosophical) robustness of Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance. Islam and Christianity (which he claims to pander to so as to look secular to his “constituents”) have never been know to be inclusive – and are historically proven to be bigoted, violent, brutally proselytizing and ultimately political/imperial corruption of what should be “personal faith”.
Thus Hindus, the people across the Sindhu River – have absolutely no need to accept and embrace this baloney and bigotry of Abrahamic “faiths”. And Hindus have always been a geographic connotation (be it the original word etymology) or the current RSS interpretation. Hinduism is the totality of faith system of the people constituting Hindus. And that includes people of personal Abrahamic belief – but it also means that they keep it personal and not take extra-territorial money/alliances to spread their faith and oppress their neighbours – which is exactly what the Churches/Mosques do in verifiably blatant and shameless manner (and also in insidious ways) .
Real Hindus will stop with being agents of extraterritorial powers and actually keep their personal morality intact, instead they are happy being imperialist cannon fodder. Dharmic people have absolutely no need to put up with these shenanigans, and should actively curtail, call out and eventual run out these agents of Abraham to places they already owe allegiance to – Bharat can do without these ~240 million wannabe traitors/cannon-fodder types, we won’t miss them even if these “sick” Shashi-types do. And like all stats not all individuals are bad/good – but the basic hypocrisy/intolerance/bigotry needs to be called out.
Experiment of becoming Muslim League-Lite has already failed.
be Congress of yore. That is the only salvation for Congress.
And yes, get rid of Maharani and Yuvraj.
Loads of baloney, intellectualising about a party which has no view point, confused group of corrupt , moslty old timers with a leadership which would do well with its absence!!
Shashi Tharoor is a kid who is in mid sixties. He lacks maturity, though he is sometimes brilliant. Shashi Tharoor has also written a book on Hinduism.
Let him explain on what basis, Rahul Gandhi born to Sonia Gandhi, a Roman Catholic Christian and Rajiv Gandhi, who is half parsi, claim to be Shiv Bhakt Janeu Dhari Brahman? It is besides the point that Rajiv Gandhi is half Parsi is a debatable issue. There is no end to the shenannigans of politicians.
He says that a king in kerala was influenced by the PROPHET and went to meet him and actually met him.
WHAT PROOF DOES HE HAVE OR IS HE A BELIEVER.
His political colleague with obivious go ahead from THE FAMILY gave an affidavit in COURT that SHRI RAM IS A MYTH.
SO when PEOPLE point out how he and his colleagues are under the thumbs of proselytizers, hence fake propaganda against HINDUS and FAKE NARRATIVE for the benefit of proselytizers. Isn’t that precisely the issue.

Mr. Tharoor is glib, but unfortunately that’s all he is.
