[...] But there are some serious issues regarding Mr Tharoor, especially because of his involvement in many controversies because of his view about Israel and Coca Cola. Many others believe he is an opportunist. The are still others who campaigns for him. [...]

Even a person with a small head could have figured out Tharoor. The man has no values or morals just because he speaks good English he can convince some naive people in India.

He should have never been made a minister in the first place, considering that he is dis-loyal. Example, he was moving with a rich-well-connected Jewish lady Giles while still married to his Indian wife. What does that tell you?

I quite agree with Mr. Raj Menon’s comment on Shahi Tharoor being an opportunist. Many in the Indian community of New York were aware of his lousy character. While he was still married to Tillotamma, he used to bring his then girlfriend (later wife) Christa to their home and bedroom. He was a wife beater and used to control Tilotamma’s finances totally – she had to hand over her entire earnings to him and used to travel by the city bus while he had a shiny Merc for himself. I’m sure she had only tears of happiness when he finally left her.

Behind his cutlured and suave facade, he is a womaniser and wife beater.

Well, Mr.Tharoor’s inexperience in the dirty so called ‘politics’ came out of the screen now! I’m sure he realized now that ‘straight’ talks and actions are not effective in Indian politics. It may take some time for Mr. Tharoor to understand the ‘understorm’ of Hindustani lobbying, decayed, dramatized, unhealthy, and unethical waves spreading in the dirty political field. Indian politics is not UN politics. I have trust and faith in Mr. Tharoor. He is well qualified to be in the rank of a Cabinet Minister. And I’m hoping that he will not quit politics. We need ministers like Mr. Tharoor. I hope that his resignation is temporary. This may give Mr. Tharoor an opportunity to serve his constituents of Thiruvananthapuram. Take advantage of the opportunity Mr. Tharoor. You have a long way to go, and better opportunities are waiting for you. Keep an uncorrupted political life, the people from Kerala will be with you. We need educated and uncorrupted politicians.

We, especially, Keralites needs ministers like you. What we wish and prays, ministers should be like you. Thigs to be handled in its sincere way and standard. And not the way of double meaning cheap politics of politics. You are doing everything in practical, not in words. That is much disturbing old political leaders. Even, these old political leaders will not understand the meaning of your simple classical colloquial usages like ‘ cattle class’. If we will try to teach them the meaning, defenitely it will take 5 years. But during this gap, new political party will be come over in power. That is why, still kerala youths are used to scrabing their own heads, while asking questions at the time of interviews. Just see, other youngsters of outside countries. We have to think broad-mindedly. We have to handle the things at its top responsibility, and not to gain something from its. We like ministers like, K.B. Ganesh Kumar, M.K. Muneer … etc. and you are the number one in all these types of ministers, and what we kerala people is expecting is these type of ministers and their abilities. We all know well that, why you have forced to resign from the post of Deputy Minister of External Affairs. If we are talking about the problems of inviting an IPL team to kerala, we have to talk about the cases of, funding of Nayanar football tournament, Faris Abubacker cases, earnings of acting of politicians in film industry, Mayavati’s statue & garland cases, funding for marriage of Jayalalithas son, funding for election campaign, funding for channels, etc… All these are a big foul plays. And they trapped a sincere innocent man like you. May be you, the beginner in politics, dont know the way of these old much-experienced stars are playing. They can win inside the parliament, but can not able to won inside the hearts of ordinary people. But you sir, so lovely still in all our hearts. Industry will never be grow-up in kerala and even in India, if we are not chaning our visions and thinkings like this. please DONT BE SO DISAPPOINTED….you have to come back like a roaring lion with golden sword having sharp on both edges, ( hope you know well that why its both edges to be sharpened ) in your hand. WE, THE KERALITIES WILL GIVE YOU THAT SHARP EDGED SWORD FOR YOU…. because we need you… we are there for the care of you with hot votes, with a hope of you are there for us…… Jai Shashi Tharoor….. Jai India. … Jithesh, Kannur.

SHASHI & CHRISTA:

We don’t know whether congratulations are in order. We’ve known it for years but did not mention it. Now the not so secret affair is at last officially no secret anymore. Shashi Tharoor and Christa Giles, we were reliably informed, just married. When Shashi was leapfrogged by Kofi Annan to head the Department of Public Information and while still officially married, he moved Christa with him to that Department, installing her (with a promotion?) on the same tenth floor — just off the elevator (for ease of movement?). It was supposed to be hush-hush, but everyone in the Department was talking. No rules had been broken because technically they were not married, but it smacked of nepotism — although nobody was certain who had more influence: Christa or Christo. With a series of negative press reports on senior officials (Riza’s son; Nair’s week-end appointment of a female staffer from P-4 to D-2; Lubber’s sexual harassment case; Oil-for-Food, etc.), Tharoor’s own divorce proceedings and some staff speaking out, a transfer was arranged to the Department of General Assembly and Conference Management. She was given an assignment as Secretary of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Indian Ocean! Ms. Giles is a Canadian citizen and thus after the marriage her spouse can now stay in the USA legally. But he may have to think twice before attending the Renaissance Club in Hilton Head. With all other options exhausted, Dubai may be the most convenient exit. Actually, he may do very well as a hedge fund manager, provided he realizes that others also will have to make some profit.

Hon Minister Shashi Tharoor is one of the popular Minister’s in the Government now. The lateest issue with regards to his relationship with a beautician has been linked with his political career. As Educated citizens of India we must understand that it is politrics used to tarnish the image of a versatile diplomat who is a successful minister in our current government. he has a very good future in the forthcoming tenures. We need to support him, He may marry third time or even more that is his personal issue. How many of indian political big wigs are having illicit relationships under cover. Does any bring them to be booked or are they highlighted. It is all a caption for the media and the political parties to divert attention until they get a new story….

Shashi Tharoor is indeed one of the most educated and experienced politicians that India has now. The problem is that his peers are all but Hill Billies. Thats the reason he is running into controversies over his comments. I think he should learn to deal with the fellow politicians or opposition or whatever. They probably don’t even know what “Twitter” is, but they love to smear him on this issue. The public doesn’t understand what exactly he meant by saying “cattle class”, they take the literal meaning and cause a furore. I hope we can have better chemistry in the future. Tharoor should be there if India is to become a super power.
