Not once did Karan Thapar ask what is the evidence or proof that Pakistan was behind it, and not once does Shivshankar Menon go into this crucial question. Like the TV media which started blaming Pakistan within a short time after the incident, though there had been no investigation, the whole interview proceeds on the footing, and taking it for granted, that Pakistan was the culprit.

I am sometimes interviewed by Pakistani journalists.

In this article he has strongly come out in favour of freedom of speech, particularly in Universities. He quotes John Milton, and writes ” Within the portals of universities, all kinds of ideas, which includes repulsive ideas, must be allowed to be expressed. Freedom of expression helps us in attaining the truth ”.

Why is this so? After all, almost 300 years have expired since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. By now poverty, unemployment, hunger, etc., should have been abolished everywhere in the world. Why has that not happened?

When she said this,the Puristanis gathered there shouted ” Yeh Indistani agent hai. Maaro saali ko ” ( She is an Indistani agent. Kill her ), and taking out hatchets, knives and clubs chased Alice, who ran for life.

Similarly, their agent provocateurs would kill a pig, throw its carcass secretly at night in a mosque, and write on the mosque wall ” Jai Bajrang Bali ” or something like that. Next morning when Muslims got up and saw the carcass of the pig, and the writing on the wall, they would think all Hindus are devils.

Such patriots require inspiration to do their heroic deeds, and such inspiration often comes from great literature, e.g. the works of Voltaire and Rousseau in France, the booklet ‘Commonsense’ by Thomas Paine in America, the novel ‘Mother’ by Maxim Gorky in Russia, and the poem ‘Hum Dekhenge’ by the Urdu poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz.

I saw former CJI Chandrachud talking on and on in Court e.g. in the case relating to a lady doctor of RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata, who was raped and murdered, asking questions like why there was delay in filing the FIR ( questions which should have really been asked by the investigating officer or the trial court ), etc 

Ironically, when the song was sung by students at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, on December 17 during a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, a professor made a formal complaint that the poem was anti-India and communal. After that, the poem’s use of Islamic imagery was criticised in Hindutva circles, and IIT Kanpur set up a panel to investigate if the poem is “anti-Hindu”.

One can only say so much in a short article or interview. In my book India after Gandhi, I have examined in some detail to what extent India lived up to, and to what extent it failed to live up to, its founding values of democracy, pluralism, and economic security.

Unless we reunite under modern minded, patriotic leaders determined to lead a mighty protracted people’s struggle, culminating in a historical people’s revolution, which sets up a political and social order under which there is rapid industrialization and steady rise in the standard of living of the people, we will never be able to abolish massive poverty, massive unemployment, massive child malnutrition, skyrocketing price rise of essential commodities like food, medicines and fuel, almost total lack of proper healthcare and good education for our masses etc which are our real common enemies.

Balochistan has immense natural resources including huge reserves of oil, natural gas, gold, copper, minerals etc. All these were looted away by the Pakistanis, who have now handed them over to the Chinese, while the Baloch people, on whose welfare they should have been used, remain in abject poverty.
