A well educated mind vs a well formed mind: Dr. Shashi Tharoor at TEDxGateway 2013

[@jashrichhariya6016]

There is one thing legendary about Shashi Tharoor is that no matter what disagreements he had with the ruling party in India, when it comes to arguing with foreigners, he always represents and defends the whole India and Modi or whoever is related with India, he doesn't let the local arguments come in between the foreign debates. He represents India ❤

Im from Croatia and during my schooling it was always repeated to me how Indian students are extremely smart and intelligent and I should strive to be better or they are going to take my job!I admire their new found thirst for even more knowledge, understanding and acceptance! Something I wish my own country had more of. It is incredibly humbling to see a talk by a man so invested into educating people not just with information but to reform their brain into a critical thinking brain that can solve problems and challenges that we face as people together! Much respect!

​@@Pork393 Tharoor followers are Shameless lies over lies. 1. Shashi Tharoor tweeted against cow 🐄. He even spoke lowest level of languages on cow people. And you say Tharoor respects Hindu. 2. How come after 40 years of his life suddenly he is talking and showing interest in Hindu n Hinduism since couple of years only. 3. In his entire life , we neverever seen he talked about Hinduism n Vivekananda or RamaKrishna Paramasha or any other Yoga Guru. 🧘‍♀️. Why suddenly change in last couple of years. 4. This change is for his Vote Bank Politics. It is not in his blood or in his life. Moreover he change his color as it requires. This is visible in his entire life. 5. If he respects Yoga and yoga Gurus n Rushis, why he is money 💰 mindedmonster and his entire life is heights of Arrogant materialistic personality . He is ready to anything to be materialistic . Why so ??? 6. He was in Politics long back , he never did any kind of Yoga or meditation 🧘‍♀️. Don't bluff again and again, people are not foolish enough to not understand the political leader like Shashi Tharoor. 6. Shashi Tharoor respects Sanathana Dharma. Joke of the century. Does he know the meanings. Does he knows the difference between Yoga and Dharma n Sanathana Dharma. Heights of lies you followers talk again and again. Enough of it 😒. 7. SHASHI THAROOR IS FULL OF CUNNINGLY CONSPIRATOR AND ACTS TOO SMART . Note: our Quality of questions asked after throughout n through research about his entire life. But you are also a follower of him so you too bluff or lie and nothing else.

[@smk2SOA]

​@@Pork393 Joker of the century. Shashi didn't knew abcd of Yoga, Dhyana n Meditation n Sanathana Dharma n Rastra Dharma n any kinds of principles of Hinduism before 2014. Now suddenly he realized that we have all these principles. Why . Clearly indicates he is completely brainwashed CON.

[@smk2SOA]

​@@Pork393 Also Every nook and corner, J Sai Deepak has been appreciated his views and his work and his efforts within 5 + years. THAROOR IS JOKE, he has so many decades of experience, still his followers and his appreciation is relatively lesser. Why . Do you understand the followers means 🤔. Every where people are calling Sai Deepak to speak about National values n Governance values n Spiritual values n Hinduism values. Most places people clapping to the roof top. 👏 . Non followers People are showing respect n love for this young man. Where is the similar kind of respect or love towards him. THAROOR gets respect only from his followers not by the people 😤. This is most important point. Being most experienced he doesn't get respect n love as much as young man. It is shameless followers like you talk nonsense n newsense simply praise n praise n praise n praising without any essence or without any substance.

[@meghanawarrier5847]

I agree with him completely. I used to go to an Indian international school in Singapore after studying for the first 6 years of my life in a IGCSE system in Indonesia. What I discovered was the major difference was that in the Indian school, all I was doing was memorising facts and figures that I didn't really understand or know how to apply to real life situations. I didn't knw why they were relevant and why u should learn them. I wasn't really doing well in school because I always tend to loose marks because my answer wasnt exactly The same as the answer in the textbook. Then I decided to study in the Singaporean educational system and what I discovered was staggering. My grades shot up and I was soon the first in class for consecutive two years (idk the results for this year cuz it isn't over yet) I was second in the cohort and I was suddenly considered smart. This wasn't because the Singaporean system was not as difficult as the Indian system, in fact the Singaporean educational system is one of the most recognise edu systems in the world. I did better here because they didn't just teach u facts, they tested u on how u can use those facts to apply to real situations and how to be innovative with what u already know. I feel that this is what true education should be about, not just memorising facts and figures.

[@flyhighflyfast]

Thanks for pointing this out. Well said. I hope policy makers at the top of ministry also adhere with this sooner and instead of setting up more IITs and IIMs, they start structuring the Indian education system from the ground level, at schools itself.

Certainly majority of India does not speak that language or if they do, certainly not as frequent as some other western countries do.) 2. Personality. ( yeah agreed. But majority of P.M already fill that criteria) 3. Knowledge. ( Of what exactly?? About graphs and percentage read from a research work of some other guy or astute information about all things which makes us Indian, our own history and teachings. I am guessing the second one.)

Debangsu Sarkar no of course , I agree that our education is faaaaar from conducive to nurturing innovative minds. But! What I was trying to say is, we "could" simply blame the education system, sit back, grit our teeth and wait for it get better. In fact I'm not even saying you have to do something to change the "education system". I'm saying that...people like you and me, as we grow older, we graduate from school and watch videos like this, read articles about the education system being terrible, we know what real education should be, what better systems are like in other countries ...as we expose ourselves to this knowledge..it is no longer justified to say " oh we were brought up this way, school messed us up, sorry theres nothing we can do further from this point on" . I hope you are understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying we need to put in that EXTRA effort, go that extra mile , to make up for what school couldn't do for us. cultivate in ourselves the will to learn and apply knowledge. Its not impossible just because school didnt do it for us, we have the exposure and we have the conviction. Through videos like this, and I was simply saying that we musnt forget after the video is done.

I understand, how simple it is to blame others, than doing stuff yourself. But Present day education system is a horrendous disaster. It's a disease. Everyday I sit in school, and introspect, how futile and useless the board rules and regulations, the system as a whole is. This continues into the college, and you get frustrated youth, not knowing what is to be done. Quality of education, let's not start about it in such a populous country like India.

I admire you for so many reason and I agree with you. Not just reading and writing, but actual education for older adults should be encouraged. I was a high school graduate and stopped after that. In United States I decided to try college. Indian thinking was still with me that I was 27 years old, and it's too late. I met a 70 year old white woman in my class and asked her what does she hope to get out of college. She changed my life and thinking with her answer. She said that she always wanted to get higher education, but raising children and grandchildren, she never got a chance. Now she has time, so she is fulfilling her dream. For the first time I realized that education is not for career, but to grow. I was 43 when I got my masters. It's never too late to learn.
