Keerthik Sasidharan, who works for an investment bank in New York, took a break from his corporate life to campaign for Shashi Tharoor in the southern Indian state of Kerala.

Here’s what Keerthik has to say about Shashi Tharoor:

While he was known as an author and an undersecretary general at the United Nations in his previous avatar, it was unclear how the rough and tumble of Indian politics would treat him.

Mr. Tharoor had always struck me as a thoughtful and ambitious writer, who unlike most Indian intellectuals was proud of the achievements of the Indian State, while still being acutely aware of the complexities, compromises and cleavages that undermine it.
