Shashi Tharoor's recent comment on traveling 'cattle class' has made most of us question "How the F*** can a politician willingly dig his own grave? "
In my opinion he is right in his statement and my sympathies goes to Tharoor for people have been making a mockery of this tweet of his.
In the first place we don't know what to expect from our politicians. Shashi who has been a great diplomat throughout his career is finding it tough to survive in the political scenario. To me the 'cattle class' was very humorous, but I wondered why did people feel so bad about it.
The west calls it so because the seating arrangement in the economy class of aircraft's are very similar to the way cattle is transported in their country. Let's admit it, the cattle class of Sashi's is just second to the best transportation system we have in India. But folks in the MEDIA and some XYZ's don't feel good about this remark. Why? because this is their usual means of transportation. And our 'learned' people started comparing with the "Indian" cattle class (u can see the pics on the left). Feel so sorry for these 'next to VIPs' people. They are so cocooned to their thought and lifestyle that they feel ashamed and angry whenever they are brought close to the Indian reality. Its like, they feel accused. For once can't these LAME people can think out of the box.
Folks!! This is something to laugh and enjoy. I expect people and more than that the MEDIA to be 'realistically' BROAD minded in this regard.
