India is not, as people keep calling it, an underdeveloped country, but rather, in the context of its history and cultural heritage, a highly developed one in an advanced state of decay.
Shashi TharoorThe only possible idea of India is that of a nation greater than the sum of its parts.
Shashi TharoorNo one says "Gee Whiz!" very much these days, of course, not even in America - both because that expression has long since been supplanted by others more colourful and less printable, and because our capacity for surprise has long since been dulled by a surfeit of sources.
Shashi TharoorIm not a techno-determinist. I believe we need to improve our existing human resources, and technology can only be a complement.
