It’s an honour to listen to you, Dr Tharoor. No one can match your fluency and knowledge. I am very sure, more than half of Britishers can’t speak even 10 percent, the way you speak. You have always inspired me. Wish to meet you one day . May God always keep you blessed🎉🎉

Mahabharata is actually a epic poem. It is world longest poem ever written with 1, 00, 000 couplets and 2, 00, 000 verses. After that it was transcripted by many writers into books. Bhagwat geeta is a part of Mahabharata.

Dear Dr. tharor it’s been an honor for me to follow you through social media and listen to your lectures and secular speech about India and in particular about the democracy of largest democracy of all time, India has survived and stood still on its feet despite being a multi religion nation which had seen a lots of up and down since its independence, yet a hope is in every secular persons mind and that hope got formed in their minds because of people like you Dr. I’m a foreigner and have nothing to do with India and Indians but I always get sad when I hear or watch terrible things happen in India and innocent people get killed and displaced by other hardliners who believe in race or caste supremacy and for that they kill innocents and destroy them, but then I watch and hear people like yourself who put everything on stack trying to help those of minorities despite of the great risk, I feel proud to talk about you and what you do for India, you are such a great spirit and a great example to all of us across the world, my pleasure to write about you Dr.

Shashi inspired me to learn about Hinduism - and I have come to base my living faith on the Devi-Bhagavata Purana- so to say he's been a positive influence is an understatement! Thanks Tharooriji from Ireland!

Shashi sir is one of the few politicians who doesn't do politics for money.

[vineetamishra]

Negligence of leaders like Shashi Tharoor is the reason for congress downfall.India has such great educated politicians who if given a chance could do so much for development and progress of the country.😐

[mukeshkumarranjan]

Sir I am a big admirer of yours as you admitted many time about your Resolution of completing 365 books at age of I think 13. Could you please mention the list of all those 365 books.

Shashi's choice of Heavy Weather for a PG Wodehouse novel shows he's a real afficionado. Uncle Fred in the Springtime is another good one.
