PILF 2019 : Yours Truly Shashi Tharoor

[@mikepersaud5806]

I am a descendant of Indian Indentured laborers who left India in 1873, now living in New York. Never visited India, don't know Indian politics firsthand. Watched a lot of videos of Shashi Tharoor. Read his books. Liked his views, especially his non-embrace of Hindutva. His belief in secularism. He understands world diplomacy and politics. He has command of local issues and national issues, as I learn it from reading the International press. (Indians at home may have a different perspective). Shashi is a scholar, a walking encyclopedia. But can he win a National Election as head of Congress? Scholars rarely win national elections. Think Trump. Think Modi. Think Bolsonaro. If India would elect a scholar to be Prime Minister, it would be a great breakthrough. And, most importantly Tharoor would bring new respectability for India in the world community of nations.

[@tstcikhthyss]

Well as the old adage goes, "the government you elect is the one you deserve." Shashi as PM of India (or even President if his idea of making India into a presidential country end up happening) would be incredible for India on the world stage.

[@c.philipphilip9470]

It's heartening to note that in these current times there is such a crowd that understands intelligent discussion. I hold you above the cadre of unscrupulous politics and politicians and wonder if any of the ruling party even understands your level of parley.

Congress need to promote this man and make him the face of party just like BJP did with modi. i guarantee this man has the potential to be the next prime minister of india ...If i were rahul gandhi i would have done it already.so it is my humble request to congress party that please make it happen #voice of a common man

Always a pleasure to listen to Dr. Shashi Tharoor. He gives me HOPE... Inspirational... He is a man of great intellect and vision for India and its people as well as the world. He was wrongly denied the position of Secretary General of United Nations. Some powerful political leaders in the world were fearful of his Intellect and abilities. These leaders preferred the most mediocre and impotent leaders to head UN.( Exception: Kofi Annan) We want India to remain a secular society, we want Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Sikhs live side by side in Harmony... India needs to pull millions of poor into Middle class and upper middle class through educational opportunities for all children.

[@poojachauhan7776]

Sir you are my role model😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@AV314]

My contact with the outside world is abysmal, my thoughts are not. I have witnessed the slow poisoning by the ivies to the tree known as India: from framing Gandhi as a sex addict, propagating Motilal as a muslim to making Godse the true patriot despite Gandhi being the father of the nation. I came across these thoughts and opinions as young as when i was 12,13 years old, back then it was just nonsensical chatter and opinions that i thought were beneath me to address or oppose. Alas, the snowballed result of these misguided thoughts has brought upon a political scenario where an alternative does not exist, and none with a beating heart talk about issues that can actually help all around them lead a respectable life because those who can are too busy opposing. Progressing and cooperating together as a critic and policy maker has turned into binary options at passing down judgements. I am so afraid as the citizen of the future India, where acceptance would only be a bleak speck at the horizon that many wish to overlook. a message from an accepting Indian.

[@c.philipphilip9470]
