Always come out hearing an interview with ST with enhanced knowledge about issues related to India.

[@vilasnikam5322]

As usual Mr. Tharoor was incredible - very deep and clear in thoughts and expression. A great guy!

[@satishgupta5588]

Shashi tharoor is an admirable man,an erudite, well read and great speaker and writer 👏

[@PrakashKumar-iz1ox]

Always an enlightened debate be it on national or international significance to listen to Shashi
What was really good to hear is Shashi embarking on a biography of the Social reformer Narayana Guru who deserves a place of recognition for the kind of reforms he introduced in Kerala which has not been duly recognised
His biography in English will have a wider audience pan India and give the status of the spiritual guru he richly deserved in India.

[@redatticus7606]

Two very intelligent and funny men, representing India in the world. Fun interview, much appreciated. Jai Hind!

[@mayan5600]

He is someone you can never be in your 110 lifetime.
So keep on crying.

[@sampaths5413]

Always a pleasure to listen to Shashi Tharoor. Was disappointed to see that a representative of the "Godi Media" was chosen to interview him!

[@ashokddani]

Great.imformed and articulated discussion. Tharoor a rare scholar and politician🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@karengtlow]

Very articulate.

[@preethasridharan1543]

If you don't want LOP to talk about the negative side of India, why call a MP and discuss Indian politics and policies in a foreign land? Why are you holding 'Jaipur' literary festival in a foreign land?

[@RajibAhmedrupok]

The anchor disturbingly interrupted and talked over the speaker again and again

[@tarvsingh6241]

A man about town- a predator on the prowl.

[@himmsingz]

Why predator?

[@TheVishnu8]

Lot of glib eloquence.

[@himmsingz]

Why do you call it glib? Did you recently learn this word and wanted to use it?

[@TheVishnu8]

​@@himmsingz Yes, indeed. I belong to the cattle class. I just started learning English and like all upstarts I began with the four letter words. I learnt a new word today: vacuous. Apparently, it is lighter than hot air.

[@rajiv5802]

1. Trump or Kamala either way is ok you know... Buttt... Kamala is so into indian culture including walks on Chennai beach, Kashmir no matter ,and Trump is uncivilized.. so wink wink.. both are good you know.
2. Rahul Gandhi makes controversial statement but you know what it's Modi who taught him this way to talk, and you know he is such a good pupil.

[@avinashkumar-kh1re]

The host is having some personal problems with congress party😅

[@mintusaren895]

Shiv linga niye ghore. Parbati puro sharir.

[@VinodBandari-ps5yd]

he may be highly qualified but he is playing with fire because of his pity interest 😢

[@DeborahPerez-v3u]

[@VP12368]

How stupid do you think that is?

[@liuxian558]

Shashi Tharoor is not a grassroot level politician . He is someone who enjoys the "finer things" of life. Don`t know why Kerala voters vote for him. And off course nobody know how "the wife" got murdered & by whome.

[@jithinpoliyedathmohanan7237]

Just like how Modiji used to abuse his underage wife and then left her a fine day without a penny😅

[@koul09876]

Becoz he speaks in special English accent.. So he is genius.. 😂😂.. Baki bewkoof

[@shreedevinair-pal9594]

I don't hold a brief for Tharoor, but what are the' finer things of life' that you mention? He is from a middle class family, and everything he did , he did it off his own bat. Nobody handed himhis success on a platter. Give reasons for vicious comments not unreasoned judgements

[@venkataraghotham7586]

Tharoor quoting the Bhagavat Gita reminds me of the famous Devil quoting the scriptures

[@mayan5600]

so what that make you?

[@user-ow5rs3bv8p]

Ehh?

Famous devil is better than lesser devils like you who are in large numbers
