He's always the best. It's such a delight to listen to his wise talks.There is so much to learn.

[@munafghori4052]

How smoothly, freely, fluently Shashi tharoor throw words at people is remarkable. I wish if only I could have that command over English.

[@TheMegapenthes]

For that, you have to be extremely well-read and absolutely indiscriminate in your choice of reading.

[@rakhimukerji7937]

​@@TheMegapenthesalso you need to read a lot to broaden your horizon.

[@TheMegapenthes]

@@rakhimukerji7937 Please don't take it as a personal vendetta. It applies to everyone, in this age of non-literary pursuits.

[@vinodjoshi438]

He is intellectual par excellence and there is no doubt that Mr.Tharoor is a university in himself and intellectual wealth of the country. It is always a delight listening to him.

[@koushikduttarai81]

Bahut intelligent hain ab ye hi lagta hain iphone tesla google jaisa company kholega..india ka naam roshan karega..

[@vilasnikam5322]

As usual Mr. Tharoor was incredible - very deep and clear in thoughts and expression. A great guy!

[@thomasbenjamin8337]

Always come out hearing an interview with ST with enhanced knowledge about issues related to India.

[@PrakashKumar-iz1ox]

Always an enlightened debate be it on national or international significance to listen to Shashi What was really good to hear is Shashi embarking on a biography of the Social reformer Narayana Guru who deserves a place of recognition for the kind of reforms he introduced in Kerala which has not been duly recognised His biography in English will have a wider audience pan India and give the status of the spiritual guru he richly deserved in India.

[@satishgupta5588]

Shashi tharoor is an admirable man,an erudite, well read and great speaker and writer 👏

He's a pleasure to listen to, embodying insightful thinking and expressing opinions I wholeheartedly agree with.

[@sampaths5413]

Always a pleasure to listen to Shashi Tharoor. Was disappointed to see that a representative of the "Godi Media" was chosen to interview him!

[@valerianpereira1259]

[@regina14251]

The inimitable Mr Tharoor!👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏😊

[@shamnadmuthu4887]

He is my idol in speech

[@narkelnaru2710]

Arun Poorie, the ultimate weather vane and sycophant. He tried and failed a few times to trap Mr. Tharoor.

[@obaidali9968]

What a lovely power of speaking ...

[@pallavimishra1184]

11:55 that remark and then a hint of smile...classic.

[@karengtlow]

Very articulate.

[@chokli786]

You are indeed great Mr Taroor. Sadly, I always felt indian politics do not deserve you

[@RajibAhmedrupok]

The anchor disturbingly interrupted and talked over the speaker again and again

[@ankushojha3580]

Love shshi sir's candid statement।. I like to emulate but seems impossible to get choice of words so freely

[@ashoks5317]

Wish Dr.Shashi Tharoor had another debate with J.Saideepak and see the fireworks

[@meerallahudeen2516]

That deepak guy is mouthpiece for hate and guy of this decency should stay away from such pollution of brains.

[@avinashkumar-kh1re]

The host is having some personal problems with congress party😅

[@abhijiths3439]

I wish I could meet him.

[@TheVishnu8]

Lot of glib eloquence.

[@himmsingz]

Why do you call it glib? Did you recently learn this word and wanted to use it?

[@TheVishnu8]

​@@himmsingz Yes, indeed. I belong to the cattle class. I just started learning English and like all upstarts I began with the four letter words. I learnt a new word today: vacuous. Apparently, it is lighter than hot air.

[@yomamasohot6411]

​@@TheVishnu8 this is a b!tch slap if I have ever seen any😂

[@nasimazizi6201]

When the anchor allowed the audience to put questions why he kept on asking questions to Mr Shashi Tharoor?

[@tahsinaaron5563]

Dear Asia Society’s microphone, Ever since Michael Jackson wearing and was off portraed on device display, ‘the wh!te long sleeve and black on top’ It’s become an anonymous iconic of sending or recording messages, up to here is understandable so far as a viewer of a few certain channels, Yes, it is. But yet question remains as WHO is talking behind that iconic dress code (in particular colour) and what’s is all about actually? From personal perspective or any other aspect? Kind regards

Ok drop the gandhis give the Congress to capable leaders like sashi tharoor and I will consider voting for the Congress

[@entanglednerves]

Being "Indian" and having "Indian origin" are two different things. Its a shame a senior journalist doesnt understand this simple difference. Also Kamala Harris is half Indian-Half Jamaican by origin. So even if she is elected as nect Prez, she isnt gonna do any special "favors" for India. Why should she?

If you don't want LOP to talk about the negative side of India, why call a MP and discuss Indian politics and policies in a foreign land? Why are you holding 'Jaipur' literary festival in a foreign land?

[@AshokKumar-hs4tn]

Arun Purie sounded so rude talking about Tharoor not having made to Secygeneral, , Tharoor is Tharoor, does nt matter he could become Secy general

[@jitendersharma6808]

No he doesn't have to defend his leader, but expose your lies. You r a disgrace as a moderator in misquoting Mr Gandi

Jesus, he’s having a cold or he got a bit more older? I don’t want to miss this guy in our political space.

[@tarvsingh6241]

A man about town- a predator on the prowl.

[@himmsingz]

Why predator?

[@wilfredlobo2232]

Anchor is not standard with his questions

[@rajenderbajwa9491]

Left. Alone at 1204a1,nirala Aspire,without money,food and left for what reason

[@sombose5584]

"People of certain class" is what Tharoor says...he is not a leader who can transcend menial categories to develop relationships

[@shikharsriv3553]

Loyal to congress while congress betrayed him

[@dahirking]

How weird it is, he's in America & people are fawning over him because he speaks impeccable English, Inglorious Empire he wrote to target British, they should be targeted off course their rule was terrible but what about long Islamic rule over India, which was the bloodiest chapter in the history of mankind, will he ever write a book on it?? He's a hypocrite of the highest order and a stooge of Gandhi family.

[@anupkolte9872]

After maharashtra elections congress is done.

[@VP12368]

How stupid do you think that is?

[@manuskumar3379]

A lot of naivety in his views and very few critical feedback.

[@DeborahPerez-v3u]

[@nick-l4o2z]

he may be highly qualified but he is playing with fire because of his pity interest 😢

[@yodaspank618]

But it is true NRI Indians have never been more proud of being Indian than we are now under Modi , shahi tharoor should drop the Congress and join the BJP , it congress should drop incapable leaders like Rahul Gandhi and the Gandhi family and keep capable leaders in place

[@venkataraghotham7586]

Tharoor quoting the Bhagavat Gita reminds me of the famous Devil quoting the scriptures

[@mayan5600]

so what that make you?

1. Trump or Kamala either way is ok you know... Buttt... Kamala is so into indian culture including walks on Chennai beach, Kashmir no matter ,and Trump is uncivilized.. so wink wink.. both are good you know. 2. Rahul Gandhi makes controversial statement but you know what it's Modi who taught him this way to talk, and you know he is such a good pupil.
