Shashi Tharoor - sunk or drowned?

I often restrict myself from commenting on something which is not fully clear to me, which applies to this case too. Having said that, I don't think that all the people commenting on or rather, reproaching Tharoor know the facts either. But, there are few things which are very evident and are shaping the weird story upfront, no matter where the truth lies, in what magnitude!

It’s said that you shouldn’t murder a person who’s going to commit suicide! Congress was just waiting for his next strong suicidal attempt... For Congress, it was like -You don’t have to hunt if your food is walking into your mouth!

Given that he's pardoned for all his past controversies (majorly misinterpretations in his words), the latest one emerged as a strong, valid, emotional, constitutional excuse, which was gifted to opposition by his own hands because it involved cricket, a true religion of India on which India unites anyday and can go against anybody ! Using this against Tharoor was a masterpiece shot by the opposition. On top of that, Tharoor's reiteration of incoherently weak points of justification was very much of qualitative nature which lacked concrete facts which were essential to gain supporters' confidence and against which any damn fellow (especially of indian mentality) can pose a series of counter questions! I hope that Shashi bounces back and retains even bigger position if he's not guilty of what he was alleged to but what he did / had to do was a pure call of time! He had to leave and there was no choice at all. The decision was already taken.No matter how hard had he tried and how articulately and smartly had he put forth his points of justification, he would have banged his head against the wall. The successful passage of all the new and important bills, including finance bill was at stake. Tharoor was left with no choice but to keep his leftover goodwill intact and put the papers. He was literally pushed by so-called high morale of Congress even before he gets ready to fake that 'push' by his party as his 'jump'.

He nosedived into the cesspool of dirty Indian politics with unshakable confidence and was gung-ho to cleanse the system. Sadly, before he saw the evil elements and bring them to notice, evils got united and drowned him mercilessly before he could come to the surface. Evils came out and declared that the jumping amateur couldn’t fish in troubled waters and ended up sinking himself !

Off the track: I've always appreciated this man's acute intelligence and his way of doing things differently as a Minister. At times, it made me question whether this flashy and glib guy be always understood by conservative goons or will he have to change himself for the time being to warm button-down people up so as to be initially accepted by them? and if he were to be the same without changing Indian way of politics and yet to gain acclaim, he'd have chosen no hand-holder and contested election being an independent contestant. I am sure, a person of his stature would have been easily welcomed in his home state of highest literacy rate.

Irony: Tharoor became famous for his transparency (by Twitter, a social networking site - not expected of an Indian Minister) and became infamous for his lack of transparency (again, not expected of an Indian Minister)

Conclusion: Regardless of you are right or wrong in every respect (including morally, legally, constitutionally but not limited to), you are wrong if you can't prove it right !!!
