Dhume is more of a weasel and an informant than a strategist. Perhaps he is ingratiating himself to Patrick French who is mentioned in the piece. The easiest way to increase the word count is to map everything in India upon something in the West: Kalidas as India's Shakespeare, etc
Dhume's pedigree reads like classic native informant. He seems to have followed the Tunku route rather than the Siddhartha Varadarajan route. It may just depend on who gives these jokers their "first break".
