Shashi Tharoor's book on Hinduism counters Hindutva

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 3 (UNI) The second day of Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters 2018 opened to a jam-packed audience on Shashi Tharoor session on his book written on ‘Why I am a Hindu’ where the author narrated what prompted him to pen the book to counter Hindutva, renowned journalist and author Mihir Bose moderated the session.
Dr Tharoor said, “Penning the book resonated from his upbringing, Hinduism has now been reduced to a contemporary political distortion. It has now been distorted to a faith of delirious fanaticism. The time has come to say to the public that what you portray is not Hinduism but pseudo-'sick'ularism, which is the famous term of abuse by trollers."
He said his book is not on Hindutva but on Hinduism. It is saying that Hindutva is not Hinduism which is a religion of acceptance, a religion of Ahimsa and Satya.
