…the diffrence being Imran was trying to defend himself (via his dismissive slander of botham & co.) on the ball-tampering controversy in the book; whereas the dear leader aiyer was deliberately indulging in unprovoked character-assasination out of his sheer desperation at Modi’s seemingly indestructible ‘Kavach’ countering all the vain attempts at political point-scoring against Modi by aiyer’s party. And as it turned out, aiyer’s latest attempt didn’t work out as intended either…
Does Mr.Shekhar Gupta imply that educational qualifications,world wide “experience” and the “breed”‘,as we see it,do not automatically inculcate “culture” in human beings including celebrities?
Excellent!! News, anecdotes, quips delivered with passion, without fear or favour. Happy that I discovered ‘The Print’ a few weeks back. Now I keep coming back just because of Shekhar Gupta’s credibility and style of delivery. That said, this kind of tu-tu-mein-mein is commonplace. Recently, Vince Cable called Boris Johnson a ‘Poundland Donald Trump’ (Poundland is a discount store, and apparently selling small resin replicas of Mr. Trump for a Pound), though Mr. Trump is no ‘CHAV’, or is he?

The comparison of Imran khan’s statement to that of Mani Shankar ‘s is an futile attempt to trivialize the entire issue.

Illogical comparison with Imran Khan. Makes no sense.
Shekhar has the headline the wrong way round-it was Khan who went to Oxford and Mani Cambridge.
