Dr. Shashi Tharoor on ' The Perils Of Being An Educated Politician' 

it is mentioned more frequently but sadly for controversial reasons

when is the good time to visit N ? please share some tips.

These bhakts will call u animational Just say something logical 😂

Sujish: I'd suggest in the month of Dec. Now we're celebrating Hornbill Festival. The festival is held on 1st of December till 10th of Dec. every year. Tourists from abroad come every year during this time...You can google it for detailed information.

Yes he did..

Shhhhhhhh....dont say that loudly; If Sonia comes to know he will be sacked !

@@premprasad3511 like what happened to sachin pilot

@@entertainmentguru5282 yes

He will not be able to connect with countrymen.

@@parikshitshukla2245 But he connects well with urban middle class women!😜😜 Just kidding, he is seen as very relatable by a lot of educated class, and it's his party's job to support him at the grassroots level to make him connect with voters if and when he's their PM candidate...

Especially ones like Owaisi. Who speaks of killing all Hindu within 15 minutes and Mehbooba Mufti who claimed all hell would break lose on anyone who would try to remove Article 370. Those shady ones should be kicked out of India.

@@pmaster1173........ Yes.... 1. Amit saha 2. Asawiddin owasi 3. Jogi adittanath 4. Dilip kumar ....etc etc

True

Do not make a mistake of thinking an erudite and a learned person is morally upright. The very reason our constitution did not keep any educational qualification bar for people to be elected as people's representatives. If he wants to be someone at top he has to work for it, and in Tharoor's case I feel he is happy with what he has.

@@osculocentric We have PHd holders,people who have studied and worked in Europe and America in our family who voted for Modi. Now I agree that You do have to be educated enough. But you dont need to be an Oxford graduate to be the leader of a country. Academic excellence doesn't imply moral righteousness.

@@pmaster1173 - I am educated in London, and working as a lecturer in a university in London; and doing a PhD as well. I vehemently supported Modi in 2014, and supported him in 2019, and will support him in the next election too. If Amit shah succeeds Sri Modi, then I will support Amit Shah. I am not a Hindu either, but unlike YOU mr P MASTER, I am not a POLITICAL SLAVE, and I can see the things through. India is slowly getting in to the right track, which had drifted and been drifting since last 60 years. I am from Kerala state, the only state in India where BJP is continuously failing even to win a single seat.

Mathew Scaria- you are too innocent. I believe you are from Kerala, where I am from too. This guy Sasi is just an avid reader, and nothing more. He is neither intelligent nor an efficient. You know why he won in Kerala, he knew the psychology of Indians, especially Keralite's . Somebody speak English is revered and respected like some supreme person in Kerala. He got looks, English fluency, fair colour. He effectively sold these trivial things to Kerala, and the gullible like you bought his pseudo products. He is an MP in Trivandrum since last 10 years, and what has he done there? How many days he has lived in there? He is in his constituency at the time of election, and during these 10 years he has written 10 books. Yes, that is his achievement.

I seem to recall this repartee was actually a response to a compliment (albeit a condescending one - surprise at the high quality of Mr. Menon's English), and not a retort to an insult. But yes, an excellent response to a patronising comment on his English.

Dynasty politics mate!

@@Tintin-wc1yn indeed buddy

Shahi tharoor pm naah

Just speaking good english is not enough(even english is not our language) ,you gotta have good wits and a lot of supporters in your party to become a PM candidate .Shashi can woo only people in South ,I think only in kerala .In North and other states of south he has no support base

@@PiyushGupta-ru6fy typical mind set of North Indian ..i never blame you sir...with your writing itself it is evident that you know nothing about sasi tharoor and who where his friends at st stephens college and all...on good wits...how can that be a trait of a candidate sir ..yeah may be i am getting too old to realise it sir..yeah we all are seeing good wits leading to an entire nation laughing .. (may i suggest the amazon prime video on the stand up comedy he did very recently)...good English is a must ...even we both are communicating via English only sir...well your reply too was in English let me remind you...btw he knows easily to handle hindi too...two decades of service as a diplomat in UN is a joke for you ...i find him the only eligible PM candiate ..hence my post .. Never want to engage with you on a debate as your comment were too depressing and imbibed with hatred towards south. Again like i said..it's not who to be blamed.....that's how it's been divided ...

Lol .

Unfortunately in congres only the gandhi offspring can aspire that

@@colorgrower Realy please state the name of last Gandhi PM

I WISH THE INDIAN PEOPLE WOULD WAKE UP AND VOTE THIS BELOVED BROTHER AS THEIR PRIME MINISTER! MODI IS AN INFANT COMPARED TO DR. SHASHI THAROOR!❤

​@thomaspt8687 Rajiv (Husband of Sonia & Dad of Rahul). Rahul could not be because of his lack of maturity back then so MMS became

Difficult situation when the whole country supports a fascist like Modi who is not concerned about the country’s progress . We Indians need to make a decision , what really matters ? Promoting religious tensions to boost our religious egos or nation’s progress ?

أحمد الصاعدي@So being eloquent and educated is going to make someone understood, I guess you never hear of all the millions of buffoons who are educated and eloquent who can't articulate or come up with a single good idea. Mr. Tharoor is one such person.He is nothing nothing nothing compared to Christopher Hitchens in terms of knowledge and argumentation, and yet he is not worshipped in the UK/US the way Mr. Tharoor is worshipped in India. It's pathetic.

@@paulthomas281 There is a difference in politics in UK and India For a long time nobody could be an Indian politician without being from Hindi belt Many of the MPs do not have a picture of India and where we are going

@@rakhimukerji7937 What on earth? Mr Tharoor has not the slightest idea about where India "is going". He doesn't have a single idea other than, let's worship the (Nehruvian-soaked, not Ambedkar-soaked) constitution. You don't seem to realize that he is the type of leader that Pakistan (and China) would dream of for India. An utterly feeble, hyper-sophistiated, impotent person. You think I'm being harsh, well I've been listening to him for years. FOR GODDNESS' SAKE, he is a leader in the Congress. As a man, an Indian man, I can't vote for such an unmanly person, chanting "haha good cheer" to Pakistanis and the French. He is Nehru reincarnated.

@@rakhimukerji7937 I don't care whether nobody could be a politician at the Centre without being from the Hindi belt in the past. I don't care. It is not given this consideration that I welcome clowns and buffoons (which is what Mr. Tharoor is) under the umbrella slogan "Yes.. finally.. no longer just politicians from the Hindi belt in national politics". While I'm glad that our national leaders are diversifying, this does not mean we embrace types which happen to be radically 'different'. You always need tough leaders who first demand respect from and INSTILL fear inside others, that is other leaders inside the country and, especially, abroad. It is the effete urban types who love reading novels "from the Subcontinent" as well as young weak males who take to Mr. Tharoor.

@@paulthomas281 I was not advocating that Mr Tharoor becomr thr prime minister of India It is up to the people of India But he is a breath of fresh air among the stifling atmospheRE of parliamentary politics. I REMEMBER BETTER DAYS .it is sad that in a country of trillion people we have such poor representations in our parliament Lastly we can not elect people thinking about Pakistan's s reaction

He would be a good candidate but I doubt he could win.

Leave that to us. You have bunch of clowns 😂😂😂 to opt from.

@@lima105able this is the so called 'Indian culture' !!!

Giving speeches is different and working for people on ground is different

@@Raut-warrior @Rohit Raut Atleast he's not just giving speeches he's giving ideas, suggestions, advises and what good for India and for the world as well❤🙏

English bak bak krne k wajese favourite Hahaha 😂

Sashi Tharoor is most respected of the MPs. His debates and lectures are highly educative. He wrote about 20.books, out of which the one on British rule in India is outstanding. He is an unique MP who knows how the opposition parliamentarians should behave, for these views he is not liked by his Congress leadership. How lovely our democracy would be if a large percentage of our MPs are like him.

@@kesavaraogattu5702 if many are like him hindutva will be destroyed i said he is a good and smart person but not a good MP

@@154defence sir then acc to you Modi and shah are great right??.. you're so happy to live in this political fiasco why you expecting us to do the same??

@@dhanush1555 yes acc to me modi is best and not just me ppl of 353 constituency think this And i am happy also in bjp ruling

YES, HE SHOULD AND IT SHOULD BE CALLED THE HYPOCRITE GUNGADIN PARTY.

Me too. These are unfair asks

Always .....

Congress is not a correct party for him. If he were in BJP he would have reached higher posts as that party gives seats and posts to eligible candidates

Bro we are in parallel circumstances

From experience, we could say that something that we note down stays long in our memory.. because he writes,these quotes will surely be there..

@Nom Nom 1) Corruption, fraud and scams have been done in presidential form of government too. 2) I don't agree Presidential system is the best way to truly honour the democracy and freedom. Strong Panchayat Raj (which is unfortunately not so strong today) is a better way to truly honour our democracy. 3) Presidential system needs electoral colleges which could have been a bad idea in 1950 when there were 15 states. Now we have 28 states + 9 UTs. If we had presidential form, every time a new state is created could lead to lot of agitation and violence for months together (presumably more than what we have seen in parliamentary system) over the issue of weightage attached to each state. 4) Finally, grass is always greener on the other side. Presidential system seems rosy but it also has its own disadvantages. There also, things move slowly due to frequent gridlocks. Dr.Tharoor says it's due to 2 party system in the U.S. However, even in a multi-party system like India, we would see more unethical things & horse trading, similar to today's Maharashtra politics. This is just my take on the perils of presidential system and NOT support for parliamentary system. The actual correction has to start with us. If the common people are moral, then they elect good politicians and naturally the efficiency of government is increased...
