Shashi Tharoor is a Fake - He excuses away the atrocities of the Invaders

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

Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs and Hindus are the real Indians. The Parsis and Jews came to India as refugees running away from Islamic conquests. The Christians came when Saint Thomas landed in Kerala long before Islam existed.

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.
