Dr. Tharoor like personalities should come and do all initiatives to professionalise Indian politics.
These all are temporary issues, Personally I believe Dr. Tharoor will have a good role in Indian Politics (at least under the leadership of a non politician PM like Dr. Singh – Then the debate should be who should lead Indian Politics ? ), but should understand how to tackle this idiotic ideology based politicians, these politicians and there coccus like Mr. Modi shows power of money in our politics.
I am not a great fan of cricket (I enjoyed IPL final) but sill I don’t believe Dr. Tharoor had punished my state by granting a IPL team. Prakash karatt is shouting the slogan ‘kerala don’t want IPL’ (Bengal already has a team), its sure IPL will boost economical as well as infrastructural development at least for Kochi. But this is against comrades theory, poor should be always poor (otherwise looses their vote bank) and investors are ‘bhoorshaws’ / ‘exploiters. People who lives in kerala and Bengal knows now who is bhoorshaws…….. will continue

I feel so ashamed that Shashi Tharoor was born in India. He is a just a snaobbish celebrity. He has no clue of what happens in India @ the grassroot level. All his life he just TALKED about people in sudan, palestine and some other parts of the world, while doing nothing either to help the world or India. He has no idea how difficult the life of a common Indian is.

While in UN he was boot licking people of some race or people in high places, in India he has always boot licked the Gandhi – Nehru family. This is the only reason why he even got an election ticket from the Congress party.

He is such a bastard that (of all things) he TWEETS his opinions as Government of India policy. He is such a lame and dumb idiot that he has no concern for that fact that he is a people representative and his below average opinions hurl shame on a billion Indians.

I am perfectly OK to have a honest, hard working, less educated person than Shahi tharoor representing India at the global stage

Does someone want to use him as a door stoper? I can trade him for an un use-able worn out cycle tire.

It is quite revealing that so many are interested in the activities of one man and have the time and wherewithal to criticize / support his actions. How does this help anyway? Would it not be better if all this energy was used in self-upliftment…..

Shashi Tharoor wrote a piece asking: “Why can’t India do the same as Israel did in Gaza [Operation Cast Lead - 27 December to 18 January]?”

This is the issue.

His own excuses later included saying that he thought Operation Cast Lead would be just another short raid ….

This is the issue.

This is not partisan, it is not based on religion. It is saying that an overwhelming onslaught on a defenseless people who are under occupation yet also under a military-administered blockade and sanctions with a near-total inability to move despite being protected persons according to the Geneva Conventions is simply wrong.

Shashi Tharoor just doesn’t seem to get it.

An update to Marian Houk and the rest of her pro palestinian peers. Shashi Tharoor has won the election and indeed with a overwhelming majority. Why cant he? Isn’t he qualified or educated? Of course he is, in fact very.

I mean the guy did his honors in history before heading to US with a scholarship at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy for his graduate studies where he did 2 Masters and a Phd and completed his PhD before 22. Genius by all means. I really wish him to become a minister and the one that he is good at. Well obviously this whole anti Tharoor tirade, the vehement opposition of his views is highly partisan- Along religious lines. I mean one has to be blind or naive to the core if they do not understand why the Muslims all over the world supports the Palestinian cause with so much passion.

I am sure Marian is getting ready to write off my opinions as nonsensical. Well if the rationale behind the support is based on the unjust action by the Israelis, why isn’t there much of passion against all the unjust events happening all over the world-especially many of the unjust events happening in Africa???

Israel is a major defense ally of India and of course they do treat Indians with respect contrary to the other sect that is in discussion. I don’t find any reason whatsoever not to accept the support of Israel as our good ally and as an Indian. But I guess for others the common brotherhood based on religion does come to play .

I hate it when Shashi Tharoor speaks on behalf of 1 billion Indians.

@krishna – I agree with Marian, that what Tharoor says is in total distaste. As if that is not enough, his response that he believes our response to his views would be different if the bombing had stopped in 4-5 days is additional crap. Does India support bombing unarmed – trapped – innocent people after subjecting them to years of holocust for even a day? PLS – WE DONT !!. Neither as a nation nor as individuals. He is hardly the right person to know wht we want. We rather he keeps his politically incorrect ideas to himself ; and there are dozens of egs I can list.
