WORDS ON WATER: A Conversation with Shashi Tharoor

9th November 2025 : 18:45 - 20:00 GMT+8

English, often considered the most widely spoken language in the world, is full of wonder, wit, and anomalies. Politician, writer, and wordsmith Shashi Tharoor takes us on a journey through the curious wonderland of English, unpacking the puzzles of punctuation, the quirks of spelling and grammar, and the layered history of Indian English. With over 130 million speakers, India ranks as the second-largest English-speaking nation, where the language was not only adopted but gained a new voice.
