Shashi Tharoor has been asked by his party president to stop tweeting, and a senior minister wants professors at IITs to think knowledge, not wealth. What an irony, I say!
The highly educated Tharoor almost became the UN secretary general. Can we say the same of his lord and master, in academic as well as political terms? As for the senior minister, the less said the better. For someone who has already made his money by the ton, to now lecture on knowledge to some of the best minds in the country is the funniest joke that I have ever heard in my life.
We want our teachers to be the best in the world, but then if they talk money, we think it’s a crime. And our politcal parties want our best criminals in politics, and if we think that is a crime, we are dismissed as inconsequential. My India greatest, I say!
I guess now we know why India is like this only and in all likelihood will remain like this only! And to my friends with an excessively positive bent of mind, I say, it’s not that I wish India to be like this only, but if wishes were horses, then cows would fly, won’t they?
