First,
a disclosure: Shashi Tharoor is an old friend and colleague.
I edited his column, "Worldview", in one of my magazines
for over ten years. His twin sons and my son were born in
the same week, month and year and often lay in cradles side-by-side
as we spoke on politics and life over dinner at each other's
homes.
That
said, Shashi's columns in my magazine received a more animated
response than any of the other columns we carried at that
time: Dr Henry Kissinger, Dom Moraes, LK Advani, Madhu Dandavate,
IK Gujral and several others.
Shashi's
15-minute speech at the Oxford Union recently, as part of
an eight-speaker debate on whether Britain owes its ex-colonies
financial reparations, has gone viral with over a million
views on YouTube. And so it should.
