A great speech indeed!!! An explained answer to the question "who is an Indian" without becoming bias towards any particular community or orgaisation. His knowledge about the different ethnic groups, people across the world is magnificent. The short stories in Mr. Tharoor speech are always worth listening and make the listener more connected with him.
As usual, the speech presents Shashi Tharoor at his best. I have forwarded the piece to my children to enlighten them about what remains verbally unexpressed in them. --R.K.Singh
Amazing wit and expression of the word "Indian" and "Hindu" by Shashi Tharoor. A truly unbiased and concise speech about the diversity of India. Exemplary!
What awes me the most about this man is how well constructed his speeches actually are. He rarely loses focus even under intense pressure. His interview with Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera is one of my favourites where he was asked about the Indian Army’s role in Kashmir. Not only did he answer the questions in the most diplomatic way possible but also dampened Mehdi’s line of questioning by his smooth and witty response. He is an absolute legend.
sahsi spoke beautifully as very few could speak the metaphor with history and reality ,he blended artistically & defined his finest eloquence with masterly brilliant that he had learnt in many instituions (both east & west).
He s one of my favorite speaker's :) Howeva this amazing intro that he gave, he s also used as part of another talk on whether social media should be consored... ..
Simply superb. The way he has elaborated every thing viz. Hinduism, ethnicity,diversity,pluralism etc. to name a few in such a simple way, I really must salute him.
A humble opinion. Perhaps you could title this video "Who is an Indian?" or "What is India?" instead? I am sure it would garner a lot more views than presently. This is a rather balanced intellectual view of the multiplicity that is celebrated in India, without the usual oft-used pseudo-secular attitude (which generally disses on the Hindu). Thank you.
AMAZING by the word go...true explanation of our national identity.This man is blessed intellectually with the depth of his views along with a gift of gab that will put Obama to shame...
He didn't insult India by calling economy class as cattle class, he insulted the airlines. It all depends on which airline he used and how much leg room he had. There are airlines where the legroom is indeed very tight for a large framed person. Now w.r.t local trains or trains in general, the leg room in a plane is no-where comparable even if you compare 3rd class compartments. In addition you have the option to stand and move around. I can thus see, how it could have evoked that response.
what ever this man to be called a womeniser, corrupted or whatever, his speaking skills are so nice that it overcomes all his flaws. Hats off to your great and beautiful speaking skills shashi tharoor. i want to be a speaker like u.
Who is an Indian? The Politics of Diversity" January 12, 2012 ""Who is an Indian?"Dr.Shashi Tharoor has explained splendidly the ocean in a Tubular of water!!
The success of a speech on any occasion depends on whether the speaker has something to say, or whether he merely has to say something. There are only two things which make an audience sleepy--poor ventilation and an uninteresting speaker! Shashi, indeed, did have a lot to say in the course of his speech, and, of course, the speech itself was out-and-out interesting, as borne out by the reaction of the audience. A truly amazing speaker!!
I mean wow.. just listen to him when you're little hight. Such a depth his each sentence has. It's unfortunate it's our mistake that we don't have a few more Shashi Tharoor in 1.3B Indian.
Excellent! Great is your effort to proudly portray the picture of this pristine paradise on planet in perfect parables. But, there is so much of repetition not only in expressing the idea, but even in the terminology and the style of introduction...etc. (way of introducing the speaker is horribly linked to an unknown American friend for example)
Yes,India is inclusive!Why to assert it and take so much pride in it.It's the way we are.We have a platform to build sth. tangible upon.And a lot of things are yet to be done.Aren't they.
u kidding me i am a sanyasi i have read and meditated for a decade and the conciousness that i have attained is beyond thinking rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr u getting we have to speak now seeing whole civilization in chaos thats why all enlightened ones who command authority in east and west are shaping new societal and spiritual change(DHARMA CHAKRA PRAVARTAN)

Excellent invective around India and idea of Indian Nationalism, flooded by rare knowledge of history. However, he did not light on what does it need to be an INDIAN or What can make you a true Indian... Impressive vocabulary though...
DON'TLIVE ON FOOLS EARTH. Who told u he is corrupt. He never committed bigamy. By engaging a new marriage how on earth he become a womaniser. He must be far better than most people who really womanises, rapes & do whatever they like and at the same time try to keep a good image. Sashi Tharoor is a very knowledgable person & such people are the need of the hour for our politics.
I don't know about the marriage angle, can you elaborate. Regarding scams and cartels that is congress and other parties as well. This is the reason why every one wants to jump on Kejriwal and others who bring these issues to the fore.
IIM C Gate Security are Harassing Student and thier Guest like anything.They have imposed unreasonable rules and regulations on students and thier guests which changes at every visit to the campus.These security guards have forgotten that they are there for the students security and not to trouble them. I would kindly request all to come forward and help students and thier visitiors for thier smooth and harass free visit to IIM Calcutta.
I am an Iranian Armenian who moved to United states I don't agree with some of the points made. As an Armenian growing up in Iran we kept our language, culture and religion which brings pride to most, but on the other hand we alienated ourselves from society and that seemed to work but never really found ourselves as part of community - to the extend that of some including myself don't speak Farsi properly. I feel the romanticism in the multi dish in one plate example but after moving to US and seeing the effect of dualism and dis-assimilation of peers and native American Armenians, I think this model your described doesn't work everywhere
I wish he had less politicized the lecture. He talks about changing our parochial ideologies, but doesn't refrain from mentioning only Barbri and Gujarat riots (Like a typical congress politician!!) I feel sad when people of such great academic repute don't remain neutral even while addressing young minds of the country's most premier institute. That is not being a true Indian.
Brilliant & riveting speech👏🏻
A great speech indeed!!!

As Tagore said,"Unity in diversity. This is the true identity of India".
Mr. Shashi Tharoor is one of the finest speakers in the whole of world. Always very sweet to ears. What an eloquence this man possess!!
Bhim
awsum Sir. Today is Independence day and it started for me with these words drenched with intellect.
Brilliant. Great ideas laced with humour. Proud to be an Indian, an Indian of the kind Shashi Tharoor has described.

Listen carefully somewhere around his comment on Hinduism, he actually says the same thing. Also, he may be many things but he is not stupid.

Well he was qualified in all iims,
There are no secrets in life, just hidden truths that lie beneath the surface.
he is an intellectual.

He didn't say it works anywhere else...
That was exactly his point.
Shashi Tharoor had a lot of experiance, but people are not ready to understand him
foreginers called indians hindu because at that time india was called hindustan .........
Ohhh , you are soooo smart
"I too had a tractor like that" lol!
I did not understand that one. It's frustrating the hell out of me

A person rises on a word and falls on a syllable.
Please explain :) I'd be very happy if you prove me wrong :)
All super maths students shouldn't always necessarily take up IIT"S. he took up honors,look the imaginary
mmmm india
please refrain from such words as not only indians but the world listens to these videos...
well it seems mr tharoor has got it wrong again
u should give another speech on indians . ur comment is irrelevant here.

a corny speech, far removed from reality.
Oho , you are so smart
