Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to social media with a stirring patriotic message that has resonated widely across India and the diaspora. Quoting poetic lines and invoking the spirit of nationalism, Tharoor reaffirmed his commitment to the country, its values, and its identity rooted in non-violence — but not without a cautionary undertone.
सौ बार जन्म लेंगे तो सौ बार करेंगे
— Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) June 8, 2025
जी भर के अपने वतन से प्यार करेंगे
जो हम से बन पड़ा, "अ वतन" हमने किया है
जो सच था, सारी दुनिया ने अब जान लिया है
समस्त सदस्यों की तरफ से मातृभूमि का और देश विदेश में हिंदुस्तान प्रेमियों का बहुत-बहुत आभार जिन्होंने कान खोल कर सुना और दिल खोल कर… pic.twitter.com/8Do3xJHE2d
"Even if we are born a hundred times, we will love our nation a hundred times with all our hearts," he wrote in Hindi. His post, rich with poetic flair, emphasized that the truth about India's peaceful and inclusive ethos is now evident to the world.
Tharoor thanked the people of India and overseas Indians who, in his words, “listened with open minds and embraced with open hearts” the message of love and non-violence. “We are followers of non-violence and peace — but only until...,” he added, leaving the sentence unfinished, possibly to underline the conditional nature of restraint when provoked.
The tweet comes at a time when political discourse around patriotism, national identity, and ideological conflicts is at a high pitch. Tharoor’s message stands out for its poetic dignity, rooted in Gandhian values yet asserting a sense of national pride that doesn’t shy away from strength when required.
The line “Jo sach tha, saari duniya ne ab jaan liya hai” (The truth is now known to the entire world) suggests a deeper political undertone, possibly reflecting India’s evolving image on the global stage.
Tharoor’s message quickly went viral, with many lauding it as a timely reminder of India’s core values in an era of rising polarisation.
