Indian needs more westernized people like Tharoor. Needless to say that his intellect was developed mostly in the west -- just like that of Ambedkar.

@mrgta2000 @MelchBurg, US govt did not want someone who have their own mind like Tharoor and also one who is very articulate. They wanted someone who would go in line with american views of United nations and one with just a practical knowledge of English and Ban ki Moon was the best fit. Except for Russia none of the veto powered nation supported him including china which usually goes against US, decided to support US in this case.

Wish we could clone Mr. Shashi Tharoor and send one to every country on earth. What a wonderful world it would be.
It's a shame Ban Ki Moon became SG of the UN ahead of this guy.

People like Shashi Tharoor elected as MP is greater hope for people of India. I saw an interview in CNBC in its program "Beatuiful People", which prompted to know more about him. PhD MP like him and PhD holder Prime Minister is greater hope for the youth of India.
