In April 2015, I was invited by the students of India’s Rajiv Gandhi National Law University to speak at their TEDxTalk event known as TEDxRGNUL. Here is what I said to the young brilliant future lawyers of India.
While India is known to have taken birth in 1947 as a modern state, the civilisational ethos of India has survived for ages.
In this talk that was given at a TEDx event at the Rajiv Gandhi Law University in the city of Patiala in Punjab, India in March 2015, I proposed the need to develop a grand narrative of the Indian civilisation that extends beyond the geographical boundaries of the Indian Territory.
Cut off from my India is the forgotten war and the horror of the continuing conflict in Balochistan. In my chat I urged the students who hosted the TEDxRGNUL event to step forward and support the cause of Baloch nationalists and to help liberate Balochistan from the occupation of Pakistan.

Tarek Fatah keeps quoting the figure of 3 million Bengalis killed by Pak army in 1971. The figure was very first time quoted by a Bangladeshi minister who mistook million to mean a hundred thousand (lakh). The wrong figure has since stuck. But for a luminary like Tarek Fatah, it is quite unbecoming to keep repeating the wrong figure. A recent scholarly work has scaled he number further down to a hundred thousand or even less, but that can be a matter for separate debate. I am no friend of Pakistan Army and hate them as much as TF does and whatever the actual figure, fifty thousand or a hundred thousand,, it was a genocide and the perpetrators deserved a trial for war crimes., But for the sake of truth and integrity, TF should quote the right figure and not 3 million.
The fact is much more than 3 million had suffered indescribable brutality..raped, maimed apart from being butchered !!

If same thing is spoken by some RSS leader he has been chewed out by our politically correct media mugals and pseudo secular politicians. Went to visit a friend in Toronto who lives their for long time and RSS member from birth. In his home I saw a map of Cultural India which includes all territories from Afghanistan to Arunachal and from Kathmandu to Kanya Kumari! I ask him why such map, he said in Sangh we believe in cultural India!
I told him that he is lucky that not living in India otherwise all these politically correct pseudo secular thugs with help from corrupt media would have put him at rest.
Tarek hw cld we help baloch people I mean hw provide any aid to them
