I remember the time Bal Thackeray ‘s grandchildren were all going to The 
Scottish School (formerly Scottish Orphanage) run by the Indian Anglican 
Christians while he was railing against English education and Christian schools.

At least Shashi Tharoor is grateful.

I remember too, an occasional personal meeting with some Maharashtra cabinet 
ministers, Shiv Sena’s Gajanan Kirtikar for instance who was Minister of State 
for Home, and learning that I was from Canada, they would instantly light up 
about some relative they had in Toronto and how they were a product of Bombay’s 
Catholic education, making an effortless switch from Marathi to good English.
