This is a person interested to be in public life in India, i.e., be a politician.
Traditionally, to be a mainstream politician one would have to spend years pretending to work on issues close to the constituency they hoped to represent.
Nowadays, some have tried to break that 'hard-working' mould. For this, you must gain admission to a foreign institution that has some name recognition in India. We know that a half-decent student from a good law school in India can get into a LLM (without scholarship) at LSE. But, most of India does not. They think ki aisa hi toe brilliant aadmi chahiye public life mein.
One you have gained admission, try out your hand at the institutional electoral process. If you win, then you get additional brownie points in India for the gora's stamp of approval. You must get Indian newspapers to run stories of your triumph. Obviously! However, in all fairness, you do not expect to win. So you run a campaign that you know will get you attacked during the electoral process. You use these words to get news stories run in India about how you stood up to anti-India 'speech.'
You return and hope you have been able to generate enough of a name for yourself to be offered some tucha space on the political ladder in India.
