We r fans of Dr. THAROOR🙏👌

[@amymohanty1045]

I must say he is such a handsome man

[@dharmendrakandadkar304]

I really like the fluency and the flow or the speed of his English language.

[@ThePreityEffect]

His comment about the cow completely wipes out all his other brilliant answers. as he just made that up. It's disingenuous . Congress party introduced the beef slaughter ban and citizens should uphold the laws.

[@kattetivikram1862]

[@ThePreityEffect]

That Laugh!

[@fAly-gm5jj]

His humour in speech very much resonates to Sir Ken Robinson's speech on education.

[@sklightbender]

That Kishore guy laughs like a damn fool

[@theodoreteo1408]

This is the first time Kishore is so relaxed and happy surrounded by so many of his beloved countrymen that he let himself go. Kishore is a top diplomat and an world renown intellect we all should celebrate and be happy he shares his wisdom with us.

[@vikramsaini5061]

But India is now a responsible country on the face of earth ,India should speak for the right interfering internal matters of countries.

[@rohitr9400]

Let's fix Kashmir first and then advise other countries on managing their problems..

[@icoudntfindaname]

[@manpreetrox30]

*QUESTIONS*
What do you think about the numbers of India's IFS officers? Shouldn't there be a seperate exam for IFS considering it's growing importance? What are your views about this report?
