Twitter has recently added a profile verification procedure. Its aim is to authenticate the genuine user and celebrities like Demi Moore are using it. There will be a verified sign on the celebrities profile indicating that Twitter has personally verified the account. Anyone can request the verification process. However, at present the service is offered to only the big shots who don't want their impersonators to go loose and fraud with their fans.

and if i remember correctly, shashi tharoor's twitter profile is not verified by the indian government

Yeah the verification option is good there are many fake celeb profiles on twitter ike sachin tendulkar and dhoni's
Also it takes time for getting a profile verified
BTW shashi is verified Shashi Tharoor (ShashiTharoor) on Twitter
