Tharoor Warns of Xenophobia, Criticizes Marital Rape Laws

Shashi Tharoor, a senior Congress leader, spoke at an event about two important topics.

First, he warned Indian students going to the US that there is growing hatred and fear of foreigners, not just in the West but around the world.

He advised them to study abroad, gain knowledge, and then return to help India.

Second, he talked about marital rape, saying he is shocked that India is one of the few democracies that does not have strong laws against it.

He believes husbands should be held accountable if they force themselves on their wives, and that such laws are necessary to protect women.

He also mentioned that many crimes against women in India are committed by their own husbands or family members.
