The recent attack on the last Gurudwara in Afghanistan found Khalistanis tight-lipped on Jihad. Instead they blamed Hindus, believe it or not. This is consistent behaviour of Khalistanis in all past attacks on them by Jihad in AfPak. Puneet Singh Sahani joins Sanjay Dixit and Vibhuti Jha to discuss.

In this edition of GlobalPrint, ThePrint's Senior Consulting Editor Jyoti Malhotra explains why it is necessary to conduct the funeral rites of SAARC.
In the fast changing AfPak theatre, things have moved at a fast pace. Haqqani group staged a coup to oust the Quetta Shura, and putting paid to Western hopes of any inclusivity. TTP has upped the ante, and terror attacks inside Pakistan have increased. India has made its reservation towards recognising Taliban clear, with the West and US likely to follow suit. Add to the comedy of errors the withdrawal of New Zealand from a cricket tour. Major Gaurav Arya, Editor-in-Chief of the Chanakya Forum joins Sanjay Dixit to discuss the issues.
Recent attacks on Kabul's international airport by the Islamic State's Afghan affiliate raise multiple questions as well as the spectre of paradigm shifts in the drivers and expanding geography of political violence.

This week we're headed into Europe, where fears of an economic downturn are growing amidst massing reports of Coronavirus infections. We'll speak to Mark in Europe and find out if the ultimate victim of the Coronavirus could be the European economy. Then we're off to Afghanistan where a peace deal has been agreed to between the US and the Taliban. We speak to our voice in the AfPak region about the deal and the odds of it actually making a difference. Finally, on Change Is Hard, we've got audio of ABC's senior correspondent David Wright saying exactly what we've been telling you for years.
Welcome to week two from the new studio. This week, we're headed back to the AfPak region where a peace deal between the US and the Taliban slowly moves forward. The 7-day truce has already taken effect so negotiations can take place. Who will come out on top after the negotiations are over? Let's not forget that this week, the New York Times published a glowing op-ed this week from the #2 Taliban operative. Then, thousands of Italians as quarantined to stop the spread of Coronavirus as it reaches the Mediterranean. Towns near Milan and Venice have been sealed off from the outside world. We'll speak to an Italian voice and find out first-hand what the quarantine order is doing to the morale of Italians. Finally, on Change Is Hard: CNN goes full BS, Mike Bloomberg is paying money for social media clout and the citizen formerly known as the Prince Of Woke comes to the Jenner neighborhood.
This week, a claimed Taliban attack in Afghanistan leaves two American soldiers dead and six injured. We head into the AfPak region and find out if this will be the last inside attack. Then, we're off to China where the Chinese government is now claiming that fear of the Coronavirus is racist. We head across the globe in our Global Media Spotlight and hear why it's racist to fear the deadly virus. Finally, on Change is Hard, Oprah heads to the Today Show for a tear-filled performance about her friend Gayle King.
This week, UK prime minister Boris Johnson's Brexit deadline is stymied by parliament. As of right now, a no-deal Brexit is illegal. We speak to Mark in Europe about what BoJo plans to do to circumvent the new laws. Then we're headed to the AfPak region, where President Trump has cancelled a meeting between himself and Taliban leaders that was scheduled close to the anniversary of 9/11. We speak to Rashed in Pakistan and find out which side has a better poker hand. Finally, on Change Is Hard, we'll be discussing Kamala Harris' selective hearing, an Australian vegan's worst nightmare and Anderson Cooper's selective memory.
When President Obama appointed Richard Holbrooke to manage the U.S. relationship with Afghanistan and Pakistan, the assignment seemed like a perfect challenge for the veteran diplomat. Instead, the two men could not see eye to eye before Holbrooke's untimely death in 2010. George Packer, author of a new biography of Holbrooke, explains the fundamental differences between the president and diplomat.
This week we're discussing the ongoing peace talks between the US and AfPak leaders. Last week, Taliban and Afghani government leaders met in Moscow. Will anything change? Tune in to hear why our voice in the region thinks the Taliban probably won't be able to return to business as usual. Then, is a rebranded version of socialism headed to the US? Last week saw the unveiling of AOC's Green New Deal which included provisions to cut back on greenhouse gas emitters including "farting cows". Because our politicians seem to be looking at Europe as the standard socialist model, we'll be speaking to Mark about the chances of socialism working in the US. And finally on Change Is Hard, we told you Bezos was being targeted because he's the big fish. We'll see if others in the media figured it out yet.

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
Like mushrooms in fallen leaves, new words keep popping up overnight. Consider the recent coinages frugalista, AFPAK, and fang-bang. Recently, Forbes magazine asked Grant to handicap the chances of these and other neologisms sticking around longer than old-fashioned newspapers. He and Martha discuss these words and whether they have staying power. You'd be forgiven for wondering if 'eavesdropping' derives from the idea of would-be spies slipping and falling from the eaves of a house. But it doesn't, the hosts explain. Time for a sports question! If an NFL team has a week without having to play a game during the season, it's called a 'bye.' But a caller says he's also heard 'bye week' refer to a week in which a team draws no opponent. Which is correct? Hint: Tie goes to the adjective.In our recent episode, 'Dust Bunnies and Ghost Turds' http://www.waywordradio.org/dust-bunnies-and-ghost-turds/ (we just love saying that name) Grant mentioned simping, a slang term for 'the act of pursuing a woman online in a fawning fashion.' This week, the hosts speculate about the etymological source of simping: 'Cyberpimping'? 'Acting like a simpleton'? 'Simpering'?Quiz Guy and Proud Papa Greg Pliska stops by with a word puzzle in honor of his infant daughter. The quiz is called â what else? -- 'Baby Talk.'What do you call the parents of your son or daughter's spouse? They're your child's in-laws, but what are they in relation to you and your spouse? A caller who spent years in Latin America says Spanish has a specific term for this: consuegro. She's frustrated by the apparent lack of such a term in our own language. 'Well, that was odder than Dick's hatband!' A caller says his mother always used that term. Now he wants to know: Who was Dick? And what was so odd about his headwear?Ever sat down to a turkey dinner where someone offered you a bite of the Pope's nose? That's a name sometimes applied to the bird's fatty rump, which many consider a delicacy. Martha and Grant discuss this and other terms for the so-called 'part that goes over the fence last.' Is this part of a turkey any more appetizing if you call it the parson's nose, the uropygium, or le sot-l'y-laisse? The last of these is a French term for that part of a turkey; roughly translated, it means 'only a silly person won't eat it.'When it comes to books, some people are pack rats; others make a point of periodically culling from the word herd. In a recent New York Times essay, Laura Miller describes her own mixed feelings about getting rid of unwanted books. A full shelf of unread books, she writes, can feel like 'a kind of charm against mortality.' Martha and Grant discuss Miller's essay, 'The Well-Tended Bookshelf.' Read it here. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/books/review/Miller-t.html?scp=1&sq=laura%20miller%20actuarial&st=cseThis week's 'Slang This!' contestant from the National Puzzlers' League http://puzzlers.org/dokuwiki/doku.php tries to pick out the real slang terms from a puzzle that includes the expressions beagle-chased, green-shifted, kiln-fired, and shovel-ready.A caller who grew up with 10 brothers and sisters recalls that whenever sibling squabbles erupted, her parents would intervene with a cheery, 'Do you think the rain will hurt the rhubarb?' The children were expected to respond with: 'Not if it's in cans!' Such silliness, she says, would get everyone laughing, and the dispute would be defused. Grant and Martha discuss this and other handy non-sequiturs.You've modified that car to make it go faster and look sharper. But is your car correctly described as suped up (as in 'supercharged') or 'souped up'?Is there any connection between term Indian summer and the term Indian giver, now regarded as offensive? A caller worries that might be the case, but the hosts assure her it's not. By the way, that marvelous cultural history of Indian summer that Martha recommends is Beneath the Second Sun, by Adam Sweeting. http://www.amazon.com/Beneath-Second-Sun-Cultural-Revisiting/dp/1584653140--Get your language question answered on the air!
