Shri Rahul Sur, is a former IPS officer and a former United Nations (UN) official with a 40-year track record of effective service at the national and international level. He weighs in on the essay by Divya Reddy on Shri Shashi Tharoor. Divya Reddy is the editor and author of the book Ten Heads of Ravana. In popular media and for most aspirational urban Indians, 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.
