Shashi Tharoor has lived, thrived and blossomed in a very modern India. The life and times may have been situational turbulent but from it, he has successfully painted a kaleidoscopic mosaic of Indian life—in its richness, its poverty, its backwardness, diversity, cultural specificity of each state especially his beloved state of Kerala and a multilingual babble of languages or tongues. Tharoor’s Show Business deals with great analytical accuracy the central socio-cultural feature of the life of the common Indian. Actually he lampoons the Indian film industry for its artificiality and superficiality.
