The Revenge Interview: Shashi Tharoor does a Karan Thapar to Karan Thapar .......................................... This week we present what I hope will become the first of a new tradition, the Start-of-the-Year interview. This is another form of what I call, tongue-in-cheek, ‘The Revenge Interview’. It’s an opportunity for a well-known and highly regarded individual, with a sense of wit, satire and a flair for repartee, to interview Karan Thapar and reverse the tables. The guest is free to ask whatever he or she wants and to pursue and persist to whatever extent he or she wish to. There are no bars or limitations whatsoever. Neither the subject nor the duration of the interview have been discussed in advance. It’s conducted by the guest exactly as he or she wants. The idea is to have good natured fun and to lampoon and mimic but, if it’s so develops, there can also be moments of tension, innuendo and, even, of pillorying. The choice is entirely left to the guest interviewer. For this first occasion, the guest interviewer is the well-known and much admired Congress MP and author, Shashi Tharoor. Mr. Tharoor is a former Minister of State for External Affairs and also Human Resource Development and, earlier, he was Under-Secretary General at the United Nations. In this interview he does to Karan Thapar what he alleges and, in fact, many people believe Karan Thapar does to his guests. Mr. Tharoor deliberately attempts to be rude, to frequently interrupt, to cross-examine and, even, contradict. On occasion, he also puts words in Karan Thapar’s mouth. The intention is revenge.
