Senior Congress leader and parliamentarian Shashi Tharoor has made a major announcement on the social media platform X regarding his upcoming literary work. By sharing details about his upcoming publication, he gave his followers a glimpse into his milestone 30th book while addressing discussions surrounding his political ideology.
Response to The Times of India Editorial
The entire conversation was sparked by a prominent newspaper article. Shashi Tharoor expressed his gratitude on social media to an anonymous editorial writer from The Times of India who recently raised a question about why political centrists author so few books. Taking cue from that observation, the seasoned politician decided to make a public announcement about his writing career.
Announcing the 30th Book
Writing on his official X account, Shashi Tharoor noted that he has authored 29 books and has remained a political centrist throughout his life. Seizing the opportunity presented by the editorial, he officially announced that his 30th book is titled "The Fight for Indian Liberalism," which explores the roots of liberalism in ancient Hindu and Buddhist traditions alongside modern political philosophy.
Public Reaction and Online Discourse
Following the announcement, internet users and followers shared diverse opinions on the platform. While some praised his intellectual capabilities and prolific writing career, others questioned his centrist claims given his affiliation with the INC and alignment with party leadership.
