India needs educated and the non-stereotypical politician, but more than that, it needs politicians who rethink the whole idea of politics. Shashi Tharoor sets a fine example of the latter :
After conducting a high-profile campaign in Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat, former UN diplomat and Congress candidate Shashi Tharoor is back on the streets again, this time to give the Kerala capital a clean look by removing his election posters off the city’s walls.
Quite heartening to read.

Another heartening thing is in Hyderabad from Kukatpally constituency JayaPrakash Narayan got elected for Assembly. He was an IAS officer (Civil Services AIR 1) . One of the best collectors of AP resigned as he could not work alongside corrupt politicians. And the better thing is Kukatpally is known to elect leaders with mass following which clearly JP is not.
