Shashi Tharoor has responded after a social media user said, "Rasgulla is nothing but a idli dipped in sugar syrup." "To conflate a Rasgulla with an Idli...is a profound cosmological misunderstanding...the comparison is practically a biological impossibility...To suggest an Idli would even consent to being drowned in sugar syrup is to fundamentally misunderstand its dignity," he wrote in a post.
