What a fascinating, wonderful, knowledgeable tour of the GCC & the West Asia region with the erudite and engaging Prof Talmiz Ahmad, to mark the launch of his book 'West Asia At War: Repression, resistance and Great Power Games.

For much of the discussion Karan Thapar managed to sound even-handed before unleashing his indignation at India's treatment of Muslims, on behalf of basically tyrannical Islamic regimes, who the Ambassador was clearly pointing out were transactional and more interested in the
preservation of their regimes.
Karan Thapar is living evidence of democracy & free speech in India. That he survives, with his foppish manner, faux accent & amazing accusations of genocide against India, impliedly on par with Uighur Muslims, is testimony to our great tolerance.

If Ambassador Talmiz Ahmed was simply allowed to speak all by himself, snipping out Karan Thapar, we would have missed nothing and saved ourselves a lot of irritation.
