Former Congress leader Shashi Tharoor recounts being thrown out of Mumbai’s Breach Candy Club and links the move to the club’s historical policy of restricting membership. According to Tharoor’s account, the Breach Candy Club—founded in 1878— operated as a Europeans-only enclave in colonial-era Bombay. Multiple reports describe how, even after Indian independence, the club’s membership rules continued to exclude Indians for decades. News18 India says Tharoor recalls a “racist” Europeans-only approach and highlights that Indians were barred from joining until the 1960s, well after independence. India Today similarly reports that the Breach Candy Club removed Tharoor, noting the club’s long-standing European dominance. The coverage focuses on Tharoor’s personal recollection of his expulsion and uses the club’s history to frame the wider issue of discrimination tied to its past membership practices. The reports do not provide additional official responses from the club in the text provided.
