Perhaps he was incompatible to the India political system which needs a different tactics and acumen or may be the expert of International diplomacy forgot his skills. Shashi Tharoor excelled as an author and diplomat but the man was misfit for politics in India is quite obvious. Shahsi Tharoor’s resignation as a minister of state for external affairs is a mishap for Indian politics which was getting rejuvenated by a person who came after a successful tenure from a forum none other than United Nations. The truth will only come out after the enquiry is conducted. The fast and time bound enquiry is needed to clear the air lest good people should avoid joining politics which is dominated by thugs.
