Tharoor Accuses RSS of Rejecting Constitution

Tharoor Accuses RSS of Rejecting Constitution

Shashi Tharoor, a Congress MP and author, talked about his book 'Our Living Constitution' at an event in Delhi.

He said that the RSS, a political group, did not always respect the Constitution, which is India's most important legal document.

The event also celebrated the artists who design book covers, as The Oxford Bookstore announced the longlist for their 11th Book Cover Prize.

Tharoor and journalist Vir Sanghvi discussed how the Constitution has changed over time and its role in keeping India united.

They also talked about the Citizenship Amendment Act, which Tharoor believes goes against the Constitution.

The event was attended by many people, including artists, authors, and students.

Tharoor also praised Deendayal Upadhyaya, a leader from the RSS, for his ideas about the nation's enduring essence.

He used the example of a village barber's razor to explain how things can change but still keep their essence.

Tharoor also joked about rumors that he might join the BJP, a political party, saying that they have known for a long time that he won't.
