Indian banks have come under a lot of fire recently as cases of high-profile loan defaulters have blown up in the media. From Nirav Modi to Vijay Mallya, many prominent Indian businessmen have defaulted on large loan payments leading to the seizure of their properties and businesses here in India.

While it's a matter of grave concern, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor shared an interesting take on the current scenario of large loan defaulters in India through a witty tweet:

Received on whatsApp: What changed before and after Independence in India?

Before Independence: People who looted us came from Britain.

After Independence: People who looted us go to Britain.

 A perfect way to summarise the current situation in India, isn't it?

Bringing back black money and stopping the defaulters from running away, aren't topics that the Modi government is comfortable talking about and while it's true that the government is taking measures to stop the rot, it's already too late.

After Tharoor's tweet, many on Twitter were quick to point out an earlier tweet of Mallya, who referred to Tharoor as an old friend in one of his earlier tweets.

Sir when you going to London? Like your friend https://t.co/iH7yDzqccy

And some even conspired that it was a sly dig at Congress President Rahul Gandhi's numerous trips to London.

That's also another reason why @RahulGandhi is generally spotted in London most of the times. Maybe Tharoor has come to his conclusion basis Rahul's frequent London trips

At a time when the government is forced to write-off corporate bad loans, these tweets help provide the much needed comic relief.
