In an interview on what 75 years of Independence means for India, the author, historian and Congress MP, Shashi Tharoor, has said we are all to collectively blame for the bigotry and polarization that is spreading in the country but South India could be a beacon of hope for the future. However, Shashi Tharoor believes and hopes that Prime Minister Modi could step-in and reverse this trend towards majoritarianism and Hindutva nationalism if he realizes that he can win elections without policies that polarize the country. Mr. Tharoor argues that Mr. Modi’s handling of the Nupur Sharma episode gives him reason for hope.
