In the dominion of spurious hullabaloos, what India’s Foreign Minister Shashi Tharoor is in the middle of is derisorily jesting. Someone requires flushing the two-facedness that chokes India’s political dissertation.
It is bizarre that the PM Manmohan Singh was made to fling Shashi, a salvation as political storms spin around him, intimidating to sink his embryonic career. And what surprises me most is that- all this is for a clichéd witticism on a yet another social networking portal that flourishes on banal puns (intended or unintended). Twitter sure, could not have drawn itself the type of promotion it is getting right now- credit to Shashi Tharoor’s controversial expression on solidarity with “holy cows” who travel in the “cattle class” and the hyperactive responses of political parties.
The Congress Party, of which Shashi Tharoor seems to be an insignificant constituent of, went into a self-virtuous dither over the Twitter trade. It appears as if the ex- U.N. diplomat’s trivial imprudence has given way to some deep-settled bitterness against him. whilst the Congress Party viewed the comment as offensive to India’s “aam janta” (the Mango People in Filmy Lingo) who travel in the economy class, however what no one is able to elucidate is how many of these “aam janta” people (excuse my affinity to use this term so often- I just love it!) that the party owns up to toil for can really have enough money for an air travel?
The BJP had a diverse and expected opinion on the issue, on the other hand. In their political formula the terms “holy cows” triggered the panic buttons right away. A BJP Spokesman promptly commented that associating cattle class with the holy cow is just as odious against India’s culture and “sabhyata”. The conception that any sardonic “cow kind” indication is an insult against India’s culture and traditions could have only originated from this party. If cows are sacred and they are also cattle, what’s so offensive about “cattle class”?
Undeniably, there was completely nothing even distantly controversial or insulting about what Shashi Tharoor might have tweeted in a jiffy. The trouble is the background inside which he functions, comes with an intrinsic bolt on non-interventionist expression. At some stage the negative responses to Shashi Tharoor’s tweets also accentuate the split between youthful, new generation political leaders who are stepping into a range of parties and old-fashioned ones still gripping outdated concepts and philosophies. With the cocktail of tech savvy young cream of the crop and with victorious non-political proficient backdrops, this major modification seems inevitable. This is an intermediary chapter where the old is still attempting to implement authority whilst the new is taking it apart.
Holy Cow! Holy Cow!!
