This just randomly showed up in my recommendations
I think this is CZcams desperate to find us something we would click on.

There is no random recommendation on youtube, be it BJP, Congress or Sadhguru propaganda.

Feeling proud to watch this conversation in 2024 as being a student of international relations😊!!
The brilliance of his mind and the eloquence of his speech is simply outstanding.
You are right. Excellent diplomatic skills 😁
kya fayda...??
2 Masters Degree and a PhD by 22 years, including best student prize from Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
Best selling, prize winning author of ten non-fiction and fiction books.
Superb orator, excellent command of English, Bengali, Hindi, French and Malayalam.
High intellect; good looks, wealthy.
THAT'S ENOUGH FOR THE ARSE HOLE POLITICIANS OF INDIA TO BRING HIM DOWN. HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN UN-HE'S TOO GOOD FOR INDIAN POLITICS.
where does Chomsky fit into all of this?
What India prefers is a fascist uneducated idiots!!!
He's a Malayalee...huhuhu!
Politics and academic achievements are totally different. Need to relook at what you just said.
@@ibrahims754 yeah cause there's tremendous communalism, and these fascist rulers thrive on these communal riots
Mr Tharoor is a wise resonable man with interest for humanity and history. His english is music to the ear.
@ilk d aww. Smell ignorance here.
The fact that he won for 3 times from a sub-urban (at best) seat in Kerala is a testimony of his understanding of villagers and local people.
@@amritkumar7488 he didn’t say otherwise either.
Yes Garden what a beautiful name ♥️
ME & my Mother we both love 💗 🪴 ing 🔑⚓️
Nature is SO BEAUTIFUL & JUST unlike Few Fake Audience 😎
Intelligent brilliant leader
Who cares about his English? Nehru spoke English well and he wrote in English well. How did that help the common Indian?
First time I am listening to Mr. Shashi Tharoor's speech! I have barely known him as a MP of Congress party and thought that he was just one more of them. I was so wrong. This gentleman is a genius and should be recognized and appropriately used for the bright India!
Suhas Athalye, this gentleman is a corrupt political propaganda for the Congress party.
His impeccable language, style of rendition .... brilliant. Or is there a more superlative word to describe him? One hopes he shall once lead India. Away from the subject, for publicity, I submit to you a modest video - Homage to Pandit Nehru by p g joseph - in CZcams.
@@philipchristopher7010 Ohh my Goodness, hope you are a Gentle Man :)
@@philipchristopher7010 you'd have to look hard to find fault in his work. Point being we could do with more people like him in the government.
You are wrong buddy. Just research a bit and you will find that congress has leaders who are highly educated. I'm not a supporter of any party but i know the fact so i told.
മലയാളികളുടെ അഭിമാനം....
Proud of you sir as a malayali...
Congress party should declare mr. Tharoor as a prime ministerel candidate in 2024
Kar diya ji
Congress phir bhi ni Jeet payegi
They will not.Nehru dynasty and cronies can not face it.
He is an empty suit...He may be good English speaker and French Speaker and author but he doesn't know how a country runs ..by the way he has a misunderstood soft hindutva
WE ALL THINK, WE SHOULD GIVE MR. THAROOR BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO REPRESENT FROM. CONGRESS TO BE OUR FUTURE PM OF INDIA. I SUPPORT HIM. HE IS A VERY INTELLECTUAL PERSON.
so hard to believe how all the natures gifts could be rolled into one person.Great Mr tharoor....keep going...
his told his secret...it is reading!
It is nothing but the power of reading and curiosity of learning...If u will work hard and will show the affection towards learning then u will also be like him....God bless u...
Thank u
But why is CZcams recommending me this video after 15 years?😅
Because he will be Foreign minister soon..
@@IndiaanationtohonourforeverYes. Mr. Tharoor deserves that post.
Same question 😂
I want him to become next PM
Anusha Ngoruw LOL good one but not going to happen in India , in INC you need to be associated with Gandhi family to be a PM candidate.
@@pavanm7590 it's not gandhi family..it's nehru family
SREEN 123 agreed !
We*
But first step is with pappu
He will never become one
I always love to hear this man whenever I get a chance, he is simply brilliant and rightly deserved the UN top post which went to the political will of some shrewd countries.But we are proud of Shahi Throor.
Deep Krishan Dutta I agree with you But Politics prevail and sadly is a fact of life
Just found out that this was first aired in 1999. So it's been 21 years.
And it's so weird to see him in a Western suit. I'm so used to seeing him wearing sadri.
The guy is one hell of an orator! and might i add a very good looking guy too!...
He's indeed beautiful ✨
Admire Dr. Tharoor from a Chinese Canadian. He is a wise man with strong leadership. The world needs more leaders like him.
I have watched many spectacular orators.but none of them r as good as Mr Shashi tharoor.i want to see as pm of India...he embodies every quality to get that post....#proudtobeindian
Look up the celebrated writer and orator, the late Christopher Hitchens
@@nad1ax2 he was an exception to the humanity.
@@nad1ax2 - Shashi Tharoor and Hitchens have shared the same stage on Bill Mahr's show. Shashi still had the upper edge in my opinion.
Anyone watching in 2019 😆
-Vishwajeet
yupp
ya
ya ..only becoz of your given link somewhere else in the comment section...😄😄
Yes, nov 2019
Year 2032 : this guy should have be the PM.
Back then his voice was more deep....
Hard to understand how Indians operate. Why don't Indians elect these kind of smart ans suave politicians to fix the mess there ?
Indians don't share his political views.
+KINGMJ1990 i am an Indian, i share his political view. You do the math.
***** 282 seats for the nationalist bjp...44 for the Family run Congress
Good man in the wrong Party . Hope that answers your Q.
Smart and well spoken doesn’t translate into well meaning....
Well meaning doesn’t translate into dynamic actionable
Dynamic doesn’t translate into progress....
The mess and the chaos is bound to happen with diversity.....the obvious divisive forces defend a silent underlying unity which by its nature alone resolves slowly.....that which impresses obviously may not be true and honest inherently....that which maybe honest may not be fruitful
He is a influential speaker. Country needs his kinds of man power.
The only real blocks are the Italian lady and her son.

Good orator is not always a good leader
He is only a playboy. Nothing other than this
@@ull893 ok bhakt saab
Dear Mr.Tharoor, I have my utmost respect for you and pray to the Almighty that he provides you with the strength and wisdom to move on in life with pride and dignity. Please do not leave politics, India is in dire need for people like you!
In my whole life I didn’t see such type of man who can hypnosis me. I am Bangladeshi, I love this leader very much. I wish his long life. I have a strong desire to meet him.🌺🌺❤️💚
রেন্ডি, জিহাদি,
I always admired India for having people like him
10:33 tot 10:43 i completed my resolusion to read 365 books in 365 days at my
13th birthday
365 books couldn't fix your grammar damn
@@gregh5061 it's not me Lol, watch video shashi tharoor told this
@@gregh5061 lol ikr
i thought of the same
@@Dadycalling55 its not about that dear
@@gregh5061 and what great will you achieve after correcting your grammar 😅
I am amazed at the consistency in thoughts of this man. Watching him speaking about India in 2019 is consistent with non only his books, but also in his erstwhile talks is reassuring for my INDIANISM
Have been a massive fan of Dr Tharoor! One of the few eloquent speakers and certainly one of the premier Anglophones India is proud of. And when at 32:48 he quotes Molière with that ease-I'm completely floored!❤
He is full of wisdom and he know how to play with words in right ways ,I am so happy hear him
DICTION and FLUDITY OF THOUGHTS COMES THE ENGLISH COMMAND. MAJORITY OF INDIANS LACK THE DICTION AND PRONUNCIATION
Any one in 2020 here ? The Orator at next level, from Kerala , India.. Dr Shashi Tharoor 😘
We love you Shashi Sir ! Indian politics should have some more gentlemen like you.
One of the finest Indian English writers with extremely intelligible way of writing. His works are exhaustive and reveal his knowledge on the formation of India. This interview with Kreisler is something which one should not miss to understand him on basic front.
This conversations I'm watching in 2020.
With all due respect, it amazes me how Ban ki moon was chosen over Dr Shashi
Coz no one wants a smart person to chair, of course giving power to an educated and sensible person can result in steadfast and firm decisions which can't be influenced by lobbyists...
Very very true. Brilliant people have no place in the company of the fools
@@sangeethavarmaa3628 very very true.
That depth in his voice❤️❤️❤️❤️.... Dr. Shashi Tharoor 🙇🙇🔥
No one, literally no one:
CZcams: Recommends a video of the times when I was grappling with my 8th class grades
Same with me lol
I was in std 8 too😂
same here
may be youtube is operating on a paid survey. 🤔
He completed his PhD at 22? Damn boy.
Dr. Tharoor and I share the same college (St. Stephens's College, Delhi). And he's the one of the most eminent alumni of our college. Glad to have met him in person when he visited the college during my last semester in 2023. Also Dr. Baker (which he mentioned) passed away while I was in the 2nd Year of College and the principal assigned me to make a presentation on Dr. Baker and his life which I still have with me today.
what a great interview. he's truly brilliant.
I love watching Dr. Shashi Tharoor talking speaking. He is one of the brightest and most interesting politicians India had ever produced. He is indeed a Prime Minister material India had not recognised yet. Hope India will recognise his many faceted talents and utilise his service for the progress of the country ❤😮
It's a shame Ban Ki Moon became SG of the UN ahead of this guy.
Just because US want faceless person on chair.
@@Justus9714 ok, but what are the chances of you getting a reply from this person, i mean after all these years..!!!
It's all bcoz of politics ...and Diplomacy of US ..... what to say .... Sometime Talent becomes victim of Diplomacy and personal interests.
God knows what the hell happened there .....
Piyush 🤣🤣Just how I Replying to u After 7 Months !
@ThAt____CrAzY ________NiKkY another alive shahshi tharoor fan here!!
A very intelligent and noble man is Dr.Shashi Taroor.
this man makes me want to read books.
beautiful speech, I really appreciate Mr. tharoor. Thanks
This video is a treasure for all people on how to speak eloquently and articulate your thoughts..I don't care what he says, it's literally music to ear even if he says any nonsense
not really, it is more a testimony of who Tharoor really is, his English is just on surface, who the hell gets his or her PhD at 22
@@ramanunnikrishnan7354one who loves books most dearly could most probably get a PhD at 22. You must read of William James Sidis - this man could speak 8 languages by the age of 8. He was offered the position of a lecturer in Math at Harvard by the age of 16.
brilliant speaker, i always love to hear Dr. Shashi Tharoor
Such eloquence and passion is admirable. Shashi Tharoor is quite an impressive quintessential example of a political leader. My favorite Indian politician today!
We were expecting Dr. Shashi Tharoor to be the Congress President. Love to listen to his conversations which is a music to the ears. God will bless him one day to be a great leader.
Delight to hear him
wow im just so envious of this man remarkable
He is an amazing english speaker with outstanding british accent !!
@Wazir Hosseini Dhillon he sounds more British than me mate...and I'm British! 😂
C .brown, he was born in London .

We all love Shashi Tharoor ...... What an intellect he is ....may the Almighty bless him with birth again on Indian soil ....🤗👍😍
Decidedly great mind with a gift to deliver it!!!
"I write for the same reason the cow gives milk...". Brilliant speaker + intellect + good actions. Potentially, India's future.
#ShashiForPM
NO bro this is India the illustrate politicians wont allow or you can se that they would prevent from every side to stop whether it is his party or opposition
Wow. What an educated mind he is! This is the sort of guy India needs as a PM, not a tea-seller!
I am a BJP supporter .I will be happiest person in this planet if he become the PM candidate for congress .I will not vote for him but know what will be the level of political debate if he will be our pm candidate .
Actually if you look on old Congress men's then you will find a lot of Trump cards for win any election .Because if such things happens then we will finally see the actual game stategy of bjp .And finally we as a youth can or love indian politics finally and can learn something from our political leaders both from favourite and opssitional .Finally we can have a taste of a smart democratic elections .
This crap Rahul Gandhi is not creap for congress this is crap for whole india .
Hope god will focus on my words 😊😊😊😊😊🤣🤣😛😛😎.
Love from West Bengal .
@@amankhetarpal1987 Why a tea seller can't be a pm ?
@@batulthegreat179 Anyone can become a PM. But, here the tea seller was actually not a tea seller but a dream seller. And, the country started witnessing the consequences one after the other...
His book, Inglorious Empire, I highly recommend to everyone.
Anyone in 2019?????
2024
It's so easy to forget time and space while hearing Sir Shashi speak about almost anything
excellent speaker...
He is really down to earth,there is nt a single interview of him where he doesn't talk about poor n needy,n becoz of that he is the best political leader,most educated, knowledgeable, experience,I greatly admired this man n again from Kerala,Great!!!!
so effin elite! he can make anyone look like a walking cliche!
gr8 to se..., really we indians r proud to have such gr8 intellectuals in indian poltics...
Tharoor will win from Thiruvananthapuram this time too. My vote was for him. He is our pride, a gem of a person❤❤❤❤❤
He won❤
Yea thankyou he won. ❤
I continue to be impressed by Mr Tharoor.
OMG 😱, before this I have no idea about him, he is awesome
I am happy CZcams suggested this video after 15 years🎉
What a great intlectual Sh Shashi Tharore is? God bless him!
2k18 myself. Thank you Institute of Int reltns, University of California.
CZcams recommended me after 12 years. Wow ❕
Pure class
I am a product of India as I did my firs and second degree there, and Am Somali by birth but Ethiopian by nationality. However, I know that Whites a crabs and they chose Bank-Moon for the world's top post, Dr Shashi would have been better elected for that said post, but that was mishandled by the big brothers and the Uncle Zam.
I am really proud of mr. sashi tharoor. As a student i suggest to all pls listen sashi tharoor speech.
Brilliant!👏👏u r observed v well.I appreciate ur hard work and ur extraordinary achievements.Congratulatins🎉🎉🎉
Dunno why but I really like to listen to him
Eloquence personified. Wow!
A much much better discussion with Mr. Tharoor than is to be found around anywhere these days.
Thank you so much for putting it up. Very grateful.
Incredible personality
Thanks you CZcams for recommandation for this...
Shashi is one of best we have... Hopefully congress use him better way..
Voice❤
One can listen him all day long.....
By serendipity i was recommended this talk and mahabali tharoor jii 😍🤗🌻
10:36 He read 365 books in 365 days... Insane!!!
Dr Shashi Tharoor got swag! Why isnt this man the prime minister of India 🇮🇳! Still has time… lets hope.
Wonderful interview
oh he was really good looking man with great personality that time and even now !
What he and his life tells us..?
Knowledge is Power.
Oh wow amazing person
We need more of shashi india n in the world
How brilliant is Shashi! Makes me proud to be a fellow Indian and a Malayali. The rest of the politicians are not a patch on him so always out to get him. Indian crab mentality at work.
But he control his penys. Thats why endup with marrying many women and finally murdered sunanda.
Being able to speak elitist fluent english doesnt make someone intelligent. His reality is now out in public domain., with the kind of tweets, language &elitist attitude, he doesnt fit into definition of being intelligent
HE WENT TO UN IS NOT JUST BECAUSE OF ENGLISH BRO.
@@musiccrazyd1 He is a intelligent guy who actually being the head of many premium post in United Nations, UN. It is because of his intelligence, not just because of his English.He is a brilliant guy.
@S H Have u really seen the development of Thiruvananthapuram. Under Dr. Shashi Tharoor, tremendous growth has happened. Say before u think
What do u think about Mr Chor Chowkidar. What the hell he has done in last 5 years
that is called charisma
Anyone watching in 2k18?
s s 2019
Watching it in 2019 too

This video has more vocab than your whole civil services book combined
😂
I wish to listen to his taLks
Must admire that fluency
He is highly intellectual & has excellent command over English...
Intellectual is not an adjective
@@nad1ax2 Go and check before posting your opinion.
@@aayosaathgaaye In any case, nobody uses the phrase “he is highly intellectual”
@@nad1ax2 that's like saying your name isn't a noun. Of course the word intellectual is an adjective, and people do use it quite liberally. I don't know how you got the idea that it is not in usage.
@@nad1ax2 well, "he's an intellectual" as a sentence would suffice, however to say that one is highly intellectual is still alright while conversing casually. Casually being the keyword here.
Awesome
So very proud of him. He should be our PM.
Brilliant❤🎉
Brilliant and a good human being 😊
How greatly he is articulate himself
365 book in 365 days , goals legends used to set in those days.
It's a pity that goal of many indian youth of this generation now is just to make tik toks
And that too cringeworthy
💯
They'll regret later
