Jayaram Ramesh, IIT(B),MIT alumnus...Shashi Tharoor,the youngest Indian with prolonged exposure at UN: two of the brightest minds inspirational enough to make any educated Indian feel proud of. Despite having potential to make a difference,both remain grossly underutilised for the good of the country,maybe owing to their political affiliations where they wasted their precious time. It's so heart warming to watch both together like some long lost classmates... or twins lost in Kumbh fair... impeccable English n eloquence of both of them being the added bonus...Kudos for this lovely, lively n highly rewarding video! I'm a huge fan of both of them...my respects🙏🙏🙏 to both the stalwarts!
Jairam Ramesh is so erudite,intelligent,and,articulate.We need many more people like him in our public life.People like him and Tharoor erich the life of the mind.
I hope you all forgot that VK Krishna Menon was also indulged in India's MIG deal with USSR. He was the person who did not let us buy superior western air crafts. He also was fired by Nehru as he mishandled the Indo-China conflict in 1962. In 1962, KGB (Soviet spy) supported Menon to strengthen his stance. So he was also connected with USSR in forming Pro USSR Indian policies. Read - Mitrokhin Archive to know more.
Walter CronK was the star TV interviewer in sixties. None in America wanted to touch VKK even with a barge poll for he was Communist fellow-traveller. With VKK across, Walter read through his bio-data, admiring in between & he wrapped it up with the remark. "with all these admirable accomplishments, you are a Communist...?" crinkling his nose in disgust. VKK did the same with Walter, summed it up with the remark, "yet you are bas-turd?". Walter took it without fuss and the interviw lasted with no further incident. That was the guts of him.
All these years I thought Jairam Ramesh and Shashi Tharoor were Brothers 😂. So, basically Jairam Ramesh is Higher middle-class version of Shashi Tharoor
He made feel INDIA low in 1962. Supported China at the UN veto to China but China attacked India in 1962. He lied about China being good and honest but later the whole world knows how cheatful CHINA is.
VK Krishna Menon was smart but forgot that the Indian freedom movement was based on the principle of Ahimsa(non violance). His insubordination by ordering the attack on Goa had fatal consequences a year later in 1962. On busting the Ahimsa myth in 1961, the Chinese felt that attacking India in 1962 was just. India lost the cream of its army in this war. Selection of incompetent Kaul as commanding General was a grave error leading to many army deaths. VK Krishna Menon was entirely responsible.
@@girishsandye9879 that was a few years before I born but my mom's cousins all fight that war, don't blame the VK. The army fought it with half minded and poorly equipped. but at least VK opened fire without western help. today Indian headline says the 7th fleet is has a different role.
@@girishsandye9879 my uncles who fought that war said to me. it's was a question of will power, to an extend Indians slow down the Chinese advance. if it was a cakewalk then the china and Pakistan connectivity will be much better.

Both of them are under the Dynamic Leadership of Rahul Gandhi.
Vidyeshwar Prasad ,
@@kbmnair2182 Absolutely & if I may add who struggles to string a coherent sentence in any language.
Great generation of Indian intellectuals ❤❤
Brilliant comment about the difference between picking up a language and learning it. I'll have to remember it.
Brilliant. Ramesh, someone rarely matching the brilliant Dr. Tharoor. Very informative discussion.
Jairam Ramesh is so erudite,intelligent,and,articulate.We need many more people like him in our public life.People like him and Tharoor erich the life of the mind.

Add the jeep scandal too. One of the first major scandals of republic of India

Superb! !
Well done Rameh .
"All socialist regimes in the world have been non-democratic" That's bollocks
v.k.krishna menon tellicherry’s pride 😍
@Abhi Kumar savarkar the hero
@Abhi Kumar then our defence was in poor standard and attack fro China was not expected.
He made feel INDIA low in 1962. Supported China at the UN veto to China but China attacked India in 1962. He lied about China being good and honest but later the whole world knows how cheatful CHINA is.
Why is the daughter there? She is not asked anything
30:00 Nehru knew that if Dakshina Bharat was formed from erstwhile Madras Presidency, it would have broken away.
The ghost of innumerable soldiers would have been on his mind. I feel Nehru died in1964 as 1962 was eating into his conscience.

CM STEPHEN, PC ALEXANDER, AND THE VK KRISHNAMENON PROUD KERALALITES
Three mosquters in Indian politics. MONSTERS
PC Alexander was great man. No doubt about it. But V K Menon did disaster for the country. Don't forget 1962.

But why armed fought with low morale. Leadership is responsible for that. If they take credit of all good things. Then they must share the blame also.

They finally gave the blone a chance to speak!
Give me a break…difficult to let go of the colonial linkages and making it holier than thou
Whenever this headweight (ST) speaks it gives impression that he is in Washroom.
Rubbish comment.
formula menon :-D
Selfish politicians.
Does anybody care about the many Congi flops such as Menon? Why should sycophantic biographies be part of a literary festival?
He wasn't a flop, it's your inadequate knowledge
Denialists.
Why brother???
