Do not make a mistake of thinking an erudite and a learned person is morally upright. The very reason our constitution did not keep any educational qualification bar for people to be elected as people's representatives. If he wants to be someone at top he has to work for it, and in Tharoor's case I feel he is happy with what he has.

I am not a Hindu either, but unlike YOU mr P MASTER, I am not a POLITICAL SLAVE, and I can see the things through. India is slowly getting in to the right track, which had drifted and been drifting since last 60 years.

Mathew Scaria- you are too innocent. I believe you are from Kerala, where I am from too. This guy Sasi is just an avid reader, and nothing more. He is neither intelligent nor an efficient. You know why he won in Kerala, he knew the psychology of Indians, especially Keralite's . Somebody speak English is revered and respected like some supreme person in Kerala. He got looks, English fluency, fair colour. He effectively sold these trivial things to Kerala, and the gullible like you bought his pseudo products. He is an MP in Trivandrum since last 10 years, and what has he done there? How many days he has lived in there? He is in his constituency at the time of election, and during these 10 years he has written 10 books. Yes, that is his achievement.

The sharpest repartee by an Indian politician was by Krishna Menon (Defense Minister) during his speech to the UN during the Indo-Pak conflict. The permanent representative of Canada, Lester Pearson, interrupted Menon & mockingly tried to correct his English amidst giggles & suppressed laughter from some of the British & other English speaking delegates. Menon without missing a beat shot back, "I Sir learnt English, you picked it up." there was absolute silence in the security council & without any further interruptions from these wiseacres.

[@devkiwboy]

I seem to recall this repartee was actually a response to a compliment (albeit a condescending one - surprise at the high quality of Mr. Menon's English), and not a retort to an insult. But yes, an excellent response to a patronising comment on his English.

While I'm glad that our national leaders are diversifying, this does not mean we embrace types which happen to be radically 'different'. You always need tough leaders who first demand respect from and INSTILL fear inside others, that is other leaders inside the country and, especially, abroad.

Dr Shashi Tharoor has a way with words, which holds you in sway. It's a shame that there aren't more such politicians - maybe in future generations !

India would become an economic powerhouse, and our political will through speeches, debates, actions etc quoted by western and other politicians. Democracy has to be dynamic and evolve for future generations & not get mired in nepotism and short sightedness !
