Overview

"Shashi Tharoor is a prominent Indian author, politician, and former diplomat who has delved into various contemporary issues through his works of fiction. Here's an overview of some contemporary issues explored in three of his notable works: ""Show Business"", ""The Great Indian Novel"", and ""Riot"" Tharoor examines the complexities and superficialities of celebrity culture in modern society. He critiques the obsession with fame and the consequences it has on individuals and society. The novel Show Business likely delves into the power dynamics of media and its ability to shape public opinion. In The Great Indian Novel, Tharoor, in this satirical retelling of the Mahabharata set in the context of Indian independence and its aftermath, likely addresses the pervasive issue of political corruption. He might use the epic narrative to comment on the challenges of maintaining unity and diversity in a multi-religious and multi-cultural nation. Tharoor tackles the issue of communal violence in India, in Riot reflecting on its causes, consequences, and the human stories behind such conflicts. The book in real sense of terms focuses on Tharoor's contemplative analysis of his three masterpieces."
