#ShashiTharoor:Nation first, the sensible voice in parliament! In the hurly-burly of Indian politics, where television debates often reduce complex issues to shouting matches, Shashi Tharoor stands apart. With his trademark eloquence and wit, the Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram has become the face of an opposition that is not just vocal but also responsible, offering critique without cynicism and support without hesitation when India’s progress is at stake.

#ShashiTharoor represents a rare quality in Indian politics today: the ability to dissent without derailing, to support without surrendering, and to debate without demeaning.

His words and conduct remind us that opposition need not be noisy or negative—it can be principled, positive, and deeply patriotic.

#ShashiTharoor often reminds colleagues that “the role of the opposition is not to be obstructionist but constructive.”

True to this conviction, his interventions in Parliament are known for combining sharp scrutiny with reasoned acknowledgment. During debates on the Goods and Services Tax, for instance, he called it a “good idea, badly executed,” a line that summed up both his support for reform and his demand for accountability.

As a former diplomat at the United Nations, Tharoor brings an internationalist’s vision to national politics. He has argued that India must “speak in a language the world understands, but act in a way that reflects our civilizational values.” This balance between global engagement and domestic priorities shows up in his speeches on foreign policy, where he has consistently urged consensus rather than confrontation across party lines.

Yet, what makes him distinctive is his willingness to support progress when it serves the people. He has spoken positively about India’s strides in renewable energy, digital technology, and space exploration, emphasizing that “development must never be a partisan project—it is a national one.” In doing so, he challenges the notion that opposition politics must always mean negation.

Outside Parliament, Tharoor has cultivated an image of civility and engagement. His witty but respectful presence on social media, his dialogues with students and young professionals, and his bestselling books have made him one of the most accessible intellectual politicians of our time. When asked about India’s essence, he famously remarked, “India is not just a country—it is a civilization,” a sentiment that reflects both pride in heritage and faith in the future.
