After years of seeing bumbling Indian ambassadors and diplomats on American TV who can barely articulate the Indian view, and with an accent so thick that even we Indians in the US can barely understand what they are saying, it was a pleasure to see an articulate, professional, savvy Indian diplomat like Shashi Taroor on Fareed Zakaria GPS program on CNN this morning.
I hope that the Indian government is finally getting what the Pakistanis have always understood. If you want to communicate a message effectively in the US.then you need fluent English speakers who have a neutral accent that makes them easily understandable on TV to the average american/international viewer.
I have always been impressed by the professional articulate Pakistani diplomats that are sent to Washington and appear on TV.
Its about time India got its act together on the PR side of diplomacy.
