Congress leader and former diplomat Shashi Tharoor has lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s global engagement, describing his energy, dynamism, and willingness to engage as key assets for India on the world stage. Writing in The Hindu, Tharoor said these qualities “deserve greater backing” from both the public and the political establishment.
He specifically praised India’s diplomatic outreach during Operation Sindoor, calling it a striking example of national unity and effective communication. The mission, according to Tharoor, demonstrated India’s ability to act decisively and project its voice with clarity and conviction in times of crisis.
Tharoor highlighted the broader lessons from the operation — the strategic value of unity, the importance of clear messaging, and the role of soft power in shaping India’s global image. He stressed the need for sustained public diplomacy as India navigates an increasingly complex international environment, leveraging its strengths to work towards a more just, secure, and prosperous world.
