In love with the concept of India

His 5 minute long digression on how even Jihadis in Afghanistan religiously (no pun) watch “Kyun ki saas bhi kabhi bahu thee” at 8.30 every evening may be an affectionately amusing anecdote for Americans who are new to India, but hardly a testament to the country’s greatness or global reach. Likewise, his constant focus on how even fishermen and toddy-collectors in India now have cell phones detracts from real achievements; large-scale availability of cell phones can constitute the means but not the end to progress.

Ashutosh is not too impressed with Shashi Tharoor’s over-the-top love for India and never-ending cliches.
