In a rare and hilarious turn of events, Congress MP and master of English verbosity, Shashi Tharoor, found himself momentarily at a loss for words — and in Hindi, no less — after an X (formerly Twitter) user parodied his famously elaborate vocabulary.

🎯 The Spark: A Diplomatic Retort

It began when Shashi Tharoor responded to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, calling India “a bit recalcitrant” in trade talks. His sharp reply:

“Better to be recalcitrant than tractable, submissive or acquiescent to injustice.”

🌀 Enter the Parody

An X user seized the opportunity to craft a sentence so layered and absurd, it seemed to bend the laws of grammar:

Aap Loksabha session khatam hone ke baad miliye, main aapko English sikha dunga 😅 https://t.co/8eJBX3OItj pic.twitter.com/6ebmvT8HfK

“That’s fine Shashi but what about the abnegation of camaraderie in the egregious enfranchise that comes from the fatuous of the grandiloquent at the behest of impecunious and insidious semaphore?”

The internet gasped. Dictionaries shivered. Even thesaurus sales spiked — probably.

🤯 Shashi Tharoor’s Response: Hindi Saves the Day

Instead of countering with another linguistic volley, Tharoor kept it simple:

“Bhai, aap kya kehna chahte ho?” (Brother, what do you want to say?)

And just like that, the social media floodgates opened.
Memes rolled in. One user wrote: “Bro made Shashi type in Hindi.” Another joked, “Itna hard English to angrez bhi naa samjhe” (Even the British wouldn’t get this much English).

🧵 The Thread Gets Wilder

Refusing to let the duel end, @X user responded in equally convoluted Hindi — a move that had netizens howling.

Translation attempts? Futile. Even AI got involved.

🤖 Grok Weighs In

An AI chatbot, Grok, was summoned to decode the parody. Its simplified verdict:

“Just gibberish for laughs.”

🎭 Netizens Dub It “Jugalbandi”

The exchange was hailed as a “battle of wit and nonsense” — a linguistic jugalbandi. Some crowned @Sagarcasm the “Shashi Tharoor of the Internet.”

📌 The Underlying Context

Beneath the memes lies a serious backdrop: rising US–India trade tensions, with potential new tariffs on Indian goods and Russian oil imports. But for a brief moment, Twitter united over one thing — laughing at English so dense, even Shashi Tharoor tapped out.

Bottom Line

In an era of political mudslinging, this was a refreshing reminder that sometimes, a well-placed “Bhai” can say more than a thousand SAT words.
