If he will be PM candidate in 2019 general elections, I am ready to vote for him.

Indians will never get another politician of this calibre for decades to come. it would be a lose for Indians if they dont use his experiences and visions

I don't think there is even a single another politician in India got the vision and forward thinking of Shashi Tharoor. The 2026 thing he mentioned, I never even heard someone talking about it before. Very well informed. Brilliant man.

Mr Tharoor’s facts, figures and analysis is quite interesting ! No other politican can rattle facts and figures so easily...

42 minutes felt like 5 minutes. Every word spoken felt very important.

Well done Shashi Tharoor!!

I voted BJP in 2014, and might probably do so once againbin 2019; the reason : I don't want my vote to go to the Gandhis. They are unfit to rule our country.. Not that I give a blank cheque to the BJP..in fact I believe that Congress would be better for India, but it can't be a Congress led by the Gandhis. Rather, it has to be a Congress that has booted the Gandhis out..and a Congress that does not appease the minorities, and a Congress that doesn't hold hindu sentiments in contempt

The audience, Mr. Khanna and Dr. Tharoor has shown us how we can behave and communicate with basic sense and dignity

It's just excellent as usual bcse it's dr. Shashi Tharoor

It marvels when the gentleman like Mr. Tharoor speaks at length with great articulation and confidence showing his in-depth knowledge and insight into our systems both in negative and positive aspects. However, what is the end result when such kind of people in our country keep talking and impressing the audience whereas leadership is still growing at the grassroots level meaning that we are unable so far to solve the grassroots problem even after 76 years of Independence. In fact, the next rung of leadership ought to have been of Mr. Tharoor personified model which is dynamic, modern and invoking and attracting not only the people of India but the leaderships of the west for India to be reckoned as a formidable force that goes with the modern science, spirit of inquiry and overall political maturity.

It is worth taking serious note of what may happen to south Indian states in near future .

LUCKY WE HAVE A TRUE AND PURE HART AND RESPECTED LEADER IN INDIA .. A ROLE MODEL PRIMEMINISTER FOR WORLD .... CURRUPT MIND SETUP AND NARROW MINDS CAN'T DIGEST ..

Shashi tharoor should be the p.m

india shud b proud of a leader like shashi

Speaking of social policies: It is the opposite of what is being talked about here (17.02): Modi government seems inclining on the capitalistic side of the mixed economy and that Nehru and his progeny were inclining on the socialistic side. Indira Gandhi was the one to amend the Preamble of the Constitution of India and introduce the word 'socialistic' in it. The socialism that the Nehruvian West fearing dumbwits brought in made India go bankrupt with an IMF unwilling to bail the nation out unless these recalcitrant power hoarders liberalised the economy in 1991. I am going through a love and hate relationship (figurative) with Shashi Tharoor. Love him for his Knowledge Tharoor. Love him the delusion, and equivocation and hedging!

A great confluence of several cultures.

You are such a great personality your English always inpired to me

always awesome

If Congress makes him Priministrial candidate, I will vote Congress in 2019.

A huge fan..

No one would understand or digest his thoughts and vision.... that's the reason he is a right man in wrong time and in wrong platform...... he is a really genius....God will help him....

Great perspective views on all aspects 👍

shashi for PM.

When he speaks....other politician opened dictionary

Wish he was our PM. Leader is one who takes everyone along rather creating chaos and hate among ourselves.

Shashi for PM in 2019,💪💪

He is good at equivcative

tolerance ? not acceptance of contrary views, but understanding , acceptance of the state where people at different levels of perceptions have different views

I love sashi

Culture is part of religion

loved the foreign policies

#tharoorforPM

Tharoor should become the PM of India.

Super super super...

Why indian people not concentrate on sashi tharoor for next PM

10:00 Finally someone who can speak to what's happening

Don’t sell off the public sector change it and improve it but privatising it will eventually just become a race to the bottom.

Maybe he has forgotten about emergency When he was speaking about judiciary

India is a Hindu nation and will always be one. Gandhis and Tharoors may come and go. Every country around the world that has a Muslim majority is an Islamic country NOT a secular country. There are 55 Islamic countries around the world and one Hindu country. For 1.2 Billion Hindus, India is their home, India is their motherland, India is their only refuge. He keeps suggesting that Hindus should be accepting. Accept what? Foreign religions to come to our land and and convert our people? Turn a blind eye to it? There is no need for India to be a secular country. Let Tharoor (with his flowery language) try and convert one Muslim country into a secular one before he asks India to be secular. For the first time in my life, I see leaders from the BJP who are putting the country first. Jai Hind.

Shashi Tharoor says at 16: 45 in this (linked) video that the horrors of Emergency executed by Indira Gandhi made him fear the Indian Government and hence he refrained from taking the Indian Civil Exams. Shashi thrashes Indira Gandhi's governance in kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p79-hJaUmrzJiH0.html

02:30 Lalu prasad yadav in subtitles😂😂😂

shashi tharoor is next pm candidate in 2024

A few words quoted on the last area of the conversation about the south indians can lose some of the parliament seats in future and future prime ministers will be mostly promoted by Noth indians seems annoying

The way Dr Sharoor defends Congress n BJP, I cannot believe that once he was ex-UN official.

Start at 7.19.... Thank me later!

This MP spent his whole mp fund for fighting Covid-19 in his legislative Assembly

Shashi Tharoor and Subramanian Swamy are the only two people I support in Indian politics.

If Modi vs Rahul ... Modi will win . Congress should think about other options ...

Shop

No matter what Ppl say.. I have seen #RaGa more with common folk than #BJPLeaders .. No Matter hw much Ppl make fun.. he comes back to listen to ppl.. Maybe he needs a chance like we have #Modi .. Just a #NeutralView ..

Indians got fooled by Balakote and hyper nationalism..

I'm from the future, and they again lost the pm seat! And in 2024 also.

Bjp promised many things like bringing black money from swiss, providing 2 crore jobs every year more and more but failed miserably. They were successful even for the second time mainly on hindhtuva grounds and Ram temple , stimulating racism against muslims etc. Their own party MP Dr .Subramanya swamy clearly says neither Modi nor seetha raman the FM knows nothing about economy, he clearly opposed their policy on demonitation, GST and its failure to come yes it happened, those who are not intelligent at least listen others who are good at it. Already the economy got ruined and going down more and more. The bjp has not contributed anything for the independence of india. The india when having all the infrastructure developed, in 70 years, now they come to enjoy by , misleading the people on Hindutua capturing majority overruling the judiciary leading the autocratic rule. There is is saying , absolute power corrupts absolutely in political science. They are all not saints and angels. Neither all are good nor all are bad, there is always a bad apple in basket.

He speaks of separation of powers of the Indian system but then the question arises , in the country where this speech was made , does it it have a separation of powers? I doubt very much! Shashi Tharoor seems to very ignorant about it..

why did congress donot recognise their faults rather than blaming other. I m fringe hindu common ask pappu and jija company.

Why Shashi Tharoor is not talking about corrupt Congress politicians who looted public money without any regard to poor and the downtrodden. Why were you quite when corruption was at rampant during Congress rule?

Farax

You are thinking chai Walla ...we believe he is a god gift leader for India

Rahul se nahi hoga give it up.

It seems like Mr. Modi through his recent Farm Reforms is getting ready to throw the poor Farmers and their Families into the Well and bring in BIG Agro Business with its GMO Seeds, Fertilizers and Mechanization.

HAHA CHALLENGING TO WHOM ? HAHA

Well defended rahul gandhi but it's not real

Why any debate or interview reduced to Rahul to be not to be a PM. Indian has it's vacuum if person like Modi 'Crocodile Dandy' the PM why not any one 'so so Rahul'. You the viewer or listeners has to cry or laugh for electing Modi a PM. Decide your self so called NRI thinking World is running on you guys, not at all a part and enjoying the opportunity now not latter. Then have to cry. Don't laugh on bindery statements has no value's. At least Rahul alone work hard for certain goals for people and County. But with out doing any thing to Nation and say like you have doing every thing and have solution for the country and time will laugh at you. You are existing for your self and your family. Ask your self what you did or doing for your native country and also tell about your father or family has done or sacrifice any thing for the Nation. My opinion nothing but enjoy the fruit and resources in different means. Raise the voice more are less honest. Perfect example Modi, BJP, and RSS. Doubt about every individual's integrity. What Gujarat model a question about. Is a lie and a conspiracy theory.

Dr Tharoor, with all due respect but the only down in your career graph is reporting blindly to the Gandhis. I'm certain not one of those who'd even remotely suggest that you should have been with the BJP. But you blindly defending the Gandhis is nothing less than the so called "Bhakt" mentality which you yourself don't appreciate. Double standards much?

The problem is Rahul Gandhi will never know what our problem is and firstly is he even an Indian needs some pondering 😹🧐🧐

Very sad to see Shashi tharoor has to defend Rahul Gandhi

1>I am a STAUNCH BJPite and am delighted with Dr SHASHI THAROOR's (except for his complicity in his wife's murder) book-The Inglorious Empire. 2>INDIA is proud of both MODI and THAROOR and needs both of them. 3>My only wish is that DR SHASHI THAROOR gets a bigger role in the MODI GOVT and plays a more important role in straightening out INDIA’s world affairs.

As a scholar Sashi is admirable but as a politician he is a Megalomaniac. Somewhat similar to what happened to Ravana is happened to Sashi.

Raju Rathod - because Dr Tharoor is good for nothing viz for UN, for India n his late wife....

You are a great Indian intellectual, but your prejudice towards bjp has all your political views morphed

It is funny that this so called intellectual genius Shashi Tharoor talks about Rahul gandhi's Challenges to Modi for a 15 minute debate, and points out in the same breath that Modi has not accepted the challenge. 1.Had any such debates between a PM and a leader of opposition ever took place in Indian History? NO. Then what is the big point in high lighting Rahul's challenge when no such precedent ever happened, although most of PMs were from his own Congress party? 2. ST just fell short of admitting that lRahul Gandhi does't have required of leadership skills, experience and capability to be a PM, but those are not at all factors to be considered as he has good team of experts to fill the gaps and deliver good governance. What is the basis to say that Team Rahul is full of experts and Team Modi's does't have any? And when did Congress govts delivered good goverenance? 3.If ST means Team Rahul is = Rahul + some top Congress leaders, It needs to be pointed out that this Team Rahul is not going to get power on its own. It needs to form the largest ever alliance of parties. Congress with around 100 -120 seats at best, has to share power with the most corrupt, Parivaarwad and casteist parties like DMK, BSP, SP, RJD, TMC, JDU, TDP, etc. And unlike its earlier Avatar, this UPA-3 led by immature and gaffe prone Rahul will be a more turbulent dispensation with a very short life.

Make him sit in front of Mr. Subramaniam Swamy and he will explain how good is Rahul Gandhi for this nation...I don't understand why such highly intellectual persons stand with a party which does dynastic politics and has brought things like Emergency, 1984 Riots that has put a threat to the peace of this country...I feel pity for him...No matter how educated he is...Till the time he supports Rahul Gandhi for his own political interest I would say he is the biggest intellectual fool I have ever seen...

all talks and no action....tell me one thing he has done for hinduism rather ensuring a Calf is cut on streets by his people to display Muslim appeasement....shame on such self deprecating Hindus...

Sashi Taroor’s Defence of Congress is hopeless. Congress relied on group voting within communities like the Muslim or Castes The BJP put an end to that. Sashi says no Muslims in Lok Sabah the fall of the Congress was the applesement of the Muslims it’s time to be proud of being an Indian. The Kilafat ,Saha Banu case the arrogance of the Sunni Muslim community praying on public roads outside Thier mosque it time to put some discipline on them especially when they breed Radicals. Sashi is useing his semantics and is not doing a good job. Nathan Sekhar Sydney.

Mr Tharoor is misleading about BJP & Modi. Vast projects completed in 3 years. New economic changes reducing corruption. Rahul Gandhi is doing wonderful job decimating congress. You keep him as the leader will achieve single handed..Tharoor you are respected but your chat today is the chat of a CHAMCHA

Shashi Tharoor or Sachin pilot like people should take over congress
