Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor was once again in a bit of a spot Saturday, this time with his observatiions on India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Tharoor said Friday that while Nehru's foreign policy had taken India to a new level in the international arena, he agreed with criticism that it ammounted to a 'moralistic running commentary on other countries' behaviour'. Tharoor spoke after British MP Bhikhu Parekh delivered a lecture during which he said Nehru's policies presented India in a light of 'moral self-righteousness'.
