The problem is that though he might share a world view similar to say, Hitchens, his opportunistic behaviour signals motivations that lie more towards the base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. There are enough people like him. He is no national treasure.non-carborundumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075792573799935238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-43307803179442418662010-04-23T09:29:18.703+05:302010-04-23T09:29:18.703+05:30Macaulayite is the right word.Macaulayite is the right word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-10204935368712535452010-04-23T07:00:11.034+05:302010-04-23T07:00:11.034+05:30Tharoor is NOT ideologically p-sec.

I don't think he's ideologically p-secular either, but a lot of what he says and writes is anti-Hindu and that matters more than what he possibly thinks.non-carborundumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075792573799935238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-60105776368312717512010-04-21T19:17:03.076+05:302010-04-21T19:17:03.076+05:30And also the fact that Bhadrakumar is a fellow Ker...And also the fact that Bhadrakumar is a fellow Keralite makes him stand up for Tharoor -- quite like how Rajeev Srinivasan was supporting Tharoor when he first became minister even though their political ideologies are completely different.indian_indianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440722009919390887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-25872738032580830092010-04-21T18:10:51.732+05:302010-04-21T18:10:51.732+05:30Rather than the "comrade's" comment,...Rather than the "comrade's" comment, I very much prefer Non Carborundum's comment.
