Abstract:
This paper critically examines the non-fiction writings of Shashi Tharoor, a significant figure in Indian literature and politics. His reflections on politics, society, and contemporary Indian literature are critical. Tharoor's non-fiction works provide profound insights into the political landscape, societal dynamics, and modern Indian literature. This study analyses select non-fiction works, including "India: From Midnight to the Millennium" and "An Era of Darkness," exploring Tharoor's perspectives on governance, democracy, nationalism, secularism, and social justice. Tharoor's writings present a critical analysis of the socio-political complexities of India, drawing on his vast experience as a diplomat and politician. Tharoor's non-fiction reflects on the intersections between politics and literature. He highlights the transformative power of literature in shaping public discourse, fostering empathy, and challenging existing power structures. Tharoor's work underscores the significant role of literature in shaping public discourse, a power that this research aims to understand and analyse. Tharoor also sheds light on the role of literary works as mirrors of society, examining their ability to reflect, critique, and inspire change. Furthermore, this research delves into Tharoor's engagement with contemporary Indian literature. He explores the diverse voices, themes, and narratives within the Indian literary landscape while also considering the impact of globalization on literary production and reception. Tharoor's writings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex social fabric of India and emphasize the transformative potential of literature in shaping a more inclusive and equitable society.
