Rampant Jingoism.....India is a failed civilization....2 million deaths per year from air pollution alone....

I loved his way of articulating the issue..

Well actually I have a lot of freinds who crib about as to when India will overtake US and China, we'll my philosophy is pretty much aligned with Dr tharoors Idea's for India. I say that its not about overtaking someone ! its more about your own identity evolving to a level where others start respecting it and taking it seriously ! and that is why soft power is so important !! All countries races are based on identity. So India henceforth has to decide what it wants to be identified with...the biggest democracy in the world, a diverse country with innumerus cultures, religions and traditions coexisting together, a country which manage's to pullot all of its population out of poverty by lets say 2030, a country with 100% literacy rate, a country which excels in infrastructre in its own unique and innovative ways, a country which is able to provied hope to more than a billion people and a country that becomes a major player in the world !! I Think its all about the out of the box thinking and open minedness which i believe the young generation of india is very much capable of !! And that they need to realize and re-realize this potential in them and that each contribution and idea no matter how small is going to change the face of this country forever !! And speaking of a country like US, the country has its own model of the society and how things should be and should be done. They have introduce certain things to the world which is now synonumus to their culture, history and tradition which have been adopted by other countries and which btw work quite well all around the world. And anyways storytelling is mark of all civilization but to tell the story you want to tell, you've got to make your world in such a way that can get the right and positive attention from others !!

Exceptional orator as always he is, with dynamic and pluralistic thoughts, imbibed by him through all walks of life residing in India. Proud of him, for escalating Indian-ness all over the world as Swami Vivekananda did in past.

This talk was given ten years ago in 2009, and is as relevant in 2019 as it as then. It is unfortunate that most Indians, wake up in the morning and go about their activities of the day, without the slightest notion of India’s heritage and its place in the global economy. They also should be the target of this message, to give them hope, a vision that they can aspire to. Taught in the schools and as an entertaining story via TV.

11 years ago we had the fourth largest army in the world. Now, we are at the top. Jai hind🇮🇳🇮🇳

10 years later "Tulsi" and her party are trying hard to change almost everything Dr. Tharoor spoke about.

I must say.. Its a proud moment for all of us Indians.. What a representation of the country India.

I have never seen such an energetic standing ovation given to anybody ever in TED.

Very inspiring for all of us Indian, thank you god give us some more like Sashi tharoor...

Wherever Mr.Tharoor gives speech he never forgets to Praise India 🇮🇳. His speaking skills are much than the Britishers ❤️🙌🏻

Did you get the impression he was saying that none of those things exist in India? I sort of understood him as India having survived politicially despite bad odds. Now, I certainly would prefer if MORE people were like him, regardless of that being upperclass or not. He is intelligent, eloquent, artiulate, reflective and honest. I really enjoyed listening to him.

Have hardly seen any TED talks where after finishing a speech, speakers are being given a standing ovation! Proud proud proud!
