@@ahnafahmed4951 I mean after Shashi Tharoor cleared his misconceptions about the myth of "dictatorship in India", Mehdi Hasan really didn't have anything to hold on to and started questioning why he isn't passionately against Modi (even refusing all things right about his government) and then went down to his unpopularity in Twitter. It was not the most fruitful debate.
I cannot believe how a journalist from a channel run by a dictatorial monarchy is questioning a thoroughly functioning democracy.

That's what you don't understand Qatar is a monarchy, so it's already known it won't have secular and liberal values. But on other hand India is a democracy as per it's constitution, so it has to behave according to it. That's why India is questioned. Qatar doesn't have a democracy, so why would anybody question them on deteriorating democracy. So if India doesn't want to be questioned on it's democracy, then it should just change it's governing system to a monarchy or an autocratic setup like China.

Look into the relationship between Mexico and the United States. That will be the relationship between India and Sri Lanka. Don't have dreams of parity with an India that is 65 times Sri Lanka's size, a la Pakistan and things will be great for Sri Lanka. Being on the doorstep of the future largest market in the world is surely a great place to be, if Sri Lanka takes advantage of that. Take an adversarial approach, like Pakistan did, and things won't be good for Sri Lanka. This isn't intended as a threat at all, just pointing out facts. Now, common people, you and I included, would opt for the former approach, no doubt. But in the end, it will be up to Sri Lanka's leaders, what approach it actually ends up taking.

I wish the Sri Lankan people the very best in these trying times. But there can be no full rapprochement between our governments until the SL government and the Wickremesinghe Rajapaksa cabal answer for their crimes against the Tamil people
Why do you interrupt intellectual like Shashi Tharoor ?
Shashi Tharoor my D7. Dashing Decent Dignified Dynamic Debonair Democratic Devil . I love you so much 😘😘😘😘😘
As an Indian , i can't deny the problems btw Hindu and Muslims. But trying to portrait India as 'Islam killers' by taking some past and present violent issues in SOME PARTS of India , shows the level bigotry of the interviewer....... And on Kashmir- 'It is not possible to understand Kashmir sitting in a cold-room and showing some-papers and asking questions " why not have outside interference ?".... ( ans - look in middle east now )

Mr. Hasan, How about having interview with Taliban leaders what's happening in Afghanistan ? How about interviewing Saudi leaders about the women rights ?
Al-Jazeera doesn't have guts to upload the full video without any editing.
honestly, I love dr Shashi tharoor.

That interview was about wether Islam is a religion of peace or not. Richard Dawkins was a well know bigot Islamophobe and the fact that you referred to that interview tells me a lot about your views on Islam. India is the land of my grand parents and since I love them I have respect for India and I have many times fought with my fellow country men defending India. Please do not give me reason to believe India has become an intolerant bigoted country. If you do not like for someone to have that view of your country you should be careful of what you say.
Shashi Tharoor is great person of India
Nice Reply to this fanatic guy
Mehdi Hasan we are over 1.2 billion in India, to say Akhlak' s killers represents All of us whom we totally condem is absolutely absurd. It also exposes your ignorance of India particularly Hindus or you must be Paranoid about Hindus.

Mark R Dont you know that sharia law says the apostates should be executed? and that over 90% of the muslims say that Sharia law is God's law and we must submit to it? Its not about one countries wrong doing, its about Islam. And everyone should have the right to question the democratic system of their country But not muslims . Because, take any muslim country, do people over there, who belong to other religions have rights to express their opinions? NO

He is one of the worst interviewers I have ever seen, always interrupting, making snide comments, not listening, just a stain on the news network itself. What a shame
Good conversation until Mehdi brought up his wife. I don’t understand the point of that- it just seems a little disrespectful to me
Again I have to believe knowledge is power not money thanks shashi sir and mahdi sir
I think its fare to question him because he is representative, public figure and diplomats - if he is not ask than whom should be asked. Thats the reason why one needs to be critical of such personality who is being giving all the possible position to protect peoples right and develop better environment for the people living in the country whom he represents.
The interviewer is more of machine than human.....
One can easily see how intolerant our (internet) society is becoming by seeing all these comments. This is a news channel doing a news broadcast, you can be skeptics of the content but don't write just nonsense
