Mr. Tharoor is a current Member of Parliament of India and previously India's Ambassador to the UN. He is a very eloquent speaker and writer.

Here's his famous short speech at the Oxford Union where he made a case for reparations from Britain for its excesses during its reign of the Indian subcontinent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7CW7S0zxv4

Eloquent speaker and writer does not convince me that he does not have political agenda.

Actually eloquent speakers and writers are known for pushing their political agenda and furthering their influence at all costs.

I might be cynical but being member of parliament or being ambassador - just like Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much.

Of course he has a political agenda. He is a career politician.
