Shasi Tharoor & Controversies

These are my views on various controversies on Shasi Tharoor speech..

If you look at the recent conroversy on Nehru's foregin policy it is due to misquoting what he had said. We cannot just take a sentence out of his speech and criticize him. We need to look at the context on the enti

He does not come from a political family and does not make politically correct statements. In the other controversies he was involved he just spoke what he thought was correct and he was right too. The media terms politicians to be hypocrites but if politician speaks their mind instead of having constructive debate of why he thinks that way the media criticize them. One of the main reasons for corruption in india is media and it's hypocrisy. I think this was depicted well in the movie PAA and i think it is true too. You are not free to make a known truth as a public statement. You are in trouble for it. Hopefully globalization will change this behavior...
