Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is now actively involved in an ambitious multilingual web series based on his book 'Why I Am A Hindu", says any criticism of the current government is frowned upon nowadays. Tharoor's next book on the four years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is all set for release. Being known to be a vocal voice of dissent against the Narendra Modi government, does the author-politician foresee controversy for his new book?

He said: "Not from the readers, the people who read my books... No, they won't see anything worthy of dissent. However, I can't predict how the Government in power would react to the book. "Nowadays, any hint of dissent is frowned upon by the government. Unfortunately, any criticism of the government's policies, no matter how healthy and just, is taken as an attack on individuals who run the Government. This was not the case when we, of the Congress (I), were in power," Tharoor said.
