This was all part of the policy of divide and rule, systematically promoting political divisions between Hindus and Muslims, defined as the monolithic communities they had never been before the British.- @ShashiTharoor #IndiaAt75 #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav aljazeera.com/opinions/2017/…

30 year old promise to my late grandfather fulfilled🙏 Join me on a journey of South Asian and British history of past 350 years, from the eyes of Indian soldiers. @ShashiTharoor @sanjeevsanyal @Sathnam @HarperCollinsIN @kan_writersside @NAM_London @churchill_alex @authoramish
Excellent meeting w/ Kerala ChiefMinister @pinarayivijayan on the problems of the coastal community. He was sympathetic & receptive to the suggested solutions: adequate compensation & rehabilitation of those affected in coastal areas, & an expert study of coastal erosion.
Began the first day of the Malayalam month of Chingam, the start of the Malayalam New Year, with the traditional visit to two temples, the Pazhavangadi Ganapathi Kshetram & the Attukal Bhagavathi temple. Sought divine blessings for the people of my constituency.
The main purpose of a free press is to expose the negatives of a government. The positives are the job of the official public relations department. @DrMdJawaid1
So just to clarify, if the news is factually correct but exposes the incompetence of the present regime will it be CENSORED?

Why Congress is always against development???
Called on Kerala’s senior statesman AK Antony in his simple home in Thiruvananthapuram to discuss some of the major issues facing us at this challenging time. Found him relaxed in his family surroundings, confident and upbeat. Being away from Delhi has its merits!!
The social contributions of the Church to rural communities in Kerala are invaluable. As public representatives we are honoured to be part of such celebrations, which are wholly inclusive: a Muslim Governor, a Hindu MP &a non-practising CSI MLA joined Archbishop VincentSamuel ydy
The learned @keralaGovernor, dressed in a mundu, as usual dazzled the audience w/a multilingual speech. He also unveiled a plaque & planted a tree before honouring student achievers & obliging local public representatives with photos. pic.twitter.com/8qPOi4AoUI

Began the day yesterday with a meeting w/ leaders of the Latin CatholicChurch, speaking on behalf of the coastal community in my constituency, expressing serious concern about the effects of the development of Vizhinjam Port on their homes & livelihoods. Solutions must be found.

My classmate & dear friend @harsh_mander has a pure heart & an uncluttered mind filled with the highest idealism. Let us listen to him & experience anew the compassion that should underlie our sense of fraternity w/ all our fellow Indians, as Dr Ambedkar rightly urged.
Can’t think of anyone who articulates the idea of a pluralistic, diverse, all encompassing, tolerant India 🇮🇳 as envisioned by the founding fathers of our Republic as well as Dr. @ShashiTharoor
His pieces in @mathrubhumi and @ManoramaDaily on India@75 are must read articles.

Wonderful to hear a Kerala Christian church choir singing “Saare Jahan Se Achha” as the assembled priests wave flags to celebrate #IndiaAt75 after my speech today!
In Tiruvalla this afternoon, inaugurated&addressed the #IndiaAt75 celebrations of the Malankara MarThoma Syrian Christian Church alongside the Metropolitan, Theodosius MarThoma. An amazing turnout on #IndependenceDay for a lengthy Malayalam speech on our progress & challenges!
Addressed and interacted with students of @Aspire Residential School, an English medium school on the fringes of a small village. Kerala’s educational strengths on display here!
