FULL STORY of Sashi Tharoor

In this in-depth biographical documentary, we trace the extraordinary journey of Shashi Tharoor — from his early days in London and Kerala to his rise as one of India's most eloquent and internationally recognised public figures. With no political bias, this video explores the full arc of Tharoor’s life and career — highlighting his achievements, challenges, and the many roles he has played across diplomacy, literature, and Indian politics.

We begin with his formative years, academic brilliance, and his record-setting doctoral journey at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. The film then transitions into his two-decade-long career at the United Nations, where Tharoor served in key roles and even emerged as a top contender for Secretary-General.

As the video progresses, we chronicle his return to India, his entry into electoral politics with the Indian National Congress, and his tenure as Minister of State. Along the way, we examine both the admiration and criticism he has faced — from his widely appreciated speeches and writings to controversies that have sparked national debate, including the IPL-related scrutiny and the tragic death of his wife, Sunanda Pushkar.

This film also highlights Tharoor’s contributions to literature, his stand on pressing socio-political issues, and his role as an influential parliamentarian and public intellectual in contemporary India.

Crafted with research, balance, and context, this documentary aims to present an honest portrayal of a man who is admired by many, criticised by some, but ignored by none.
