65: Dr Shashi Tharoor on the gap between nationalism and patriotism in India
Anti-national seems to have become an umbrella term to cover all manners of dissent – protesting students, writers, journalists, separatists, anti-CAA protesters, and even someone reading the preamble. But what does nationalism really mean in the Indian context? And how is it different from patriotism? In this episode, Sandip talks to Dr Shashi Tharoor who tackles nationalism, patriotism, and what it means to be Indian in his latest book, The Battle of Belonging.
