He strongly points out where and how India is superior to other nations, unlike BJP or Modi who always looks like an underdog in front of other world political leaders.

Ill give you an example what you are like... someone says "Apples are Red" you start arguing that "oranges are orange" WTF did his comment have anything to do with BJP? BTW: Congress actually has more goons than BJP atleast at a level that hurts the country as a whole. Like trying to elect Rahul Gandhi as PM. LOL you claim BJP as worse? HA HA nice joke. I rather choose the bad which is BJP than choose the WORST which is Sonia run congress. Congress alone isnt that worse.. Do you know what people laugh about India? Dynastic politics and corruption... which is what beloved Sonia has been doing, ofcourse corruption exists in both parties but not the former. Im really surprised that you support Sonia.

@eshsundar8476 8 жыл бұрын

Haha, You started pointing me out in your initial part of your comment, and exposed yourself later. I just replied Mr Patel with my opinion. There are only two national parties bro, and you need to relax before drawing inferences that only expose you. You are far cry from a debate. Open up see both sides, collect input on palpable results and then debate.Else, they will emotionally hijack you and laugh out of their asses behind you. If you comment back without applying what you just read, I'll accept that I'm a worst debater :-)

@jumjum55 8 жыл бұрын

Esh, I have known Congress for last 50 years. Indira Gandhi had already killed the Old Congress. The current Congress was known as Congress-I (Indira). Since it's birth back in late sixties, very few good people in it. Rest of them had to work as rubber stamps including Rastrapati VV Giri.. Thus hàd opened a door for current situation, and you can see how myawati, Lalu, mulayam Singh have exploited the system. What we need is some good politicians who care for people of India.

@oranjizer 8 жыл бұрын

Esh Sundar lol, i was 100% correct that you will reply negatively to my comment which was already "open".. its fair to say that a thief will never accept his mistake so i cant help you with that. The proof lies clearly in the way you support Sonia, who has been running dynastic politics and you also cannot see through why they wanted Rahul Gandhi as PM, oh wait you must support Rahul too? or you want priyanka to become PM next? Can i make such assumptions? LOL, you also didnt realize that i said congress alone isnt bad except for Sonia. So it went over your head? as expected. lol FINALLY you clearly have no reply as to how you took the topic towards BJP when the OP didnt even mention BJP. Care to agree you were wrong? Care to agree you got exposed there? I can comment on both parties because you have already brought it up, unlike your logic.... A: Apples are red You: no no, Oranges are orange LMFAO. Talk about apples or show your prejudice, you clearly showed your prejudice.

Mr Tharoor is influential speaker but he only speaks from a hindu's perspective. he has to look the picture in broader way. the fact that india wants to dominate in the area by looking down at other countries of the area. Why Indians have so much hate in the back of their minds for their neighbour countries. If india claims they want to stand among developed countries of the world they will have to live with peace and have to have good relations with their neighbours. why it is very difficult for india to realize that they are not going to get anywhere with their hearts full of hate for others.

I don't think most Indians hate their Neighbours except maybe Pakistan. Many people that I've met genuinely have no problems with them and a lot are quite indifferent about them. Heck, these days, people are even settling down on Pakistan because internet has brought close actual people from the two countries and they understand that people living there are the same as people living here. It's the governments that are fucked up.
