Wit, humour and Indian political class

The uproar over Tharoor's tweets betrays how the Indian political class has lost the ability to appreciate wit and humour and pun of high quality.

Tharoor has come from a diffrent background and he will take time to understand how aesthetically and artistically insensitive his collegues have become.

The words like 'Cattle class','solidarity' and 'Holy cow' used by Tharoor go beyond their immidiate meanings and lend a unque dimension to the whole statement he has made.

He is a writer first and every writer plays with words. He can not be stopped from doing that.
