Tharoor's troubles
The Congress party in India is good in a lot of ways but this worship of the Nehru family is a sham. Of course the Nehru family is respectful and much liked but the problem today is that a politician gains mileage by showing respect. Every respectful Congress politician has to visit the Nehru family graves to stay in power and perhaps very few people like Tharoor may see it as unnecessary. Tharoor is in trouble for being sensible for there is nothing more dangerous than the voice of reason. The common man is too busy to think about all the things that happen to him but the voice of reason awakens him. Tharoor is closely watched for his opinions but my guess is that Tharoor whether he stays in the party or not will bring big changes. If overt servility to a dynasty was what we all wanted the world would still have kings.
