      1. Shashi Tharoor tweeted against cow 🐄. He even spoke lowest level of languages on cow people. And you say Tharoor respects Hindu.
      2. How come after 40 years of his life suddenly he is talking and showing interest in Hindu n Hinduism since couple of years only.
      3. In his entire life , we neverever seen he talked about Hinduism n Vivekananda or RamaKrishna Paramasha or any other Yoga Guru. 🧘‍♀️.
      Why suddenly change in last couple of years.
      4. This change is for his Vote Bank Politics. It is not in his blood or in his life. Moreover he change his color as it requires. This is visible in his entire life.
      5. If he respects Yoga and yoga Gurus n Rushis, why he is money 💰 mindedmonster and his entire life is heights of Arrogant materialistic personality . He is ready to anything to be materialistic . Why so ???
      6. He was in Politics long back , he never did any kind of Yoga or meditation 🧘‍♀️. Don't bluff again and again, people are not foolish enough to not understand the political leader like Shashi Tharoor.
      6. Shashi Tharoor respects Sanathana Dharma. Joke of the century. Does he know the meanings.
      Does he knows the difference between Yoga and Dharma n Sanathana Dharma. Heights of lies you followers talk again and again. Enough of it 😒.
      7. SHASHI THAROOR IS FULL OF CUNNINGLY CONSPIRATOR AND ACTS TOO SMART .
      Note: our Quality of questions asked after throughout n through research about his entire life. But you are also a follower of him so you too bluff or lie and nothing else.

      THAROOR IS JOKE, he has so many decades of experience, still his followers and his appreciation is relatively lesser. Why .
      Do you understand the followers means 🤔.
      Every where people are calling Sai Deepak to speak about National values n Governance values n Spiritual values n Hinduism values.
      Most places people clapping to the roof top. 👏 .
      Non followers People are showing respect n love for this young man.
      Where is the similar kind of respect or love towards him.
      THAROOR gets respect only from his followers not by the people 😤.
      This is most important point.
      Being most experienced he doesn't get respect n love as much as young man. It is shameless followers like you talk nonsense n newsense simply praise n praise n praise n praising without any essence or without any substance.

    I admire you for so many reason and I agree with you. Not just reading and writing, but actual education for older adults should be encouraged. I was a high school graduate and stopped after that. In United States I decided to try college. Indian thinking was still with me that I was 27 years old, and it's too late. I met a 70 year old white woman in my class and asked her what does she hope to get out of college. She changed my life and thinking with her answer. She said that she always wanted to get higher education, but raising children and grandchildren, she never got a chance. Now she has time, so she is fulfilling her dream. For the first time I realized that education is not for career, but to grow. I was 43 when I got my masters. It's never too late to learn.

    I agree with him completely. I used to go to an Indian international school in Singapore after studying for the first 6 years of my life in a IGCSE system in Indonesia. What I discovered was the major difference was that in the Indian school, all I was doing was memorising facts and figures that I didn't really understand or know how to apply to real life situations. I didn't knw why they were relevant and why u should learn them. I wasn't really doing well in school because I always tend to loose marks because my answer wasnt exactly
    The same as the answer in the textbook. Then I decided to study in the Singaporean educational system and what I discovered was staggering. My grades shot up and I was soon the first in class for consecutive two years (idk the results for this year cuz it isn't over yet) I was second in the cohort and I was suddenly considered smart. This wasn't because the Singaporean system was not as difficult as the Indian system, in fact the Singaporean educational system is one of the most recognise edu systems in the world. I did better here because they didn't just teach u facts, they tested u on how u can use those facts to apply to real situations and how to be innovative with what u already know. I feel that this is what true education should be about, not just memorising facts and figures.

      1. Command over english. ( Must be your assumption that if anyday P.M wants to get selected in an intel. call center, Right!!. You can't be that big a fool. Certainly majority of India does not speak that language or if they do, certainly not as frequent as some other western countries do.)
      2. Personality. ( yeah agreed. But majority of P.M already fill that criteria)
      3. Knowledge. ( Of what exactly?? About graphs and percentage read from a research work of some other guy or astute information about all things which makes us Indian, our own history and teachings. I am guessing the second one.)
