In Episode #53, we explore the turbulent history behind the fall of the Sikh Empire—a tale of glory, betrayal, and British conquest. At the heart of this story is Maharaja Duleep Singh the boy king who was dethroned and exiled, losing not just his crown but also his cultural identity.

Those who know Fareed Zakaria through his weekly column or CNN show may he surprised to learn he considers books the important way he can put new ideas in the world. But Fareed's original aspiration was to be an academic, and it was a chance lunch with Walter Isaacson that convinced him to apply for a job as editor of Foreign Affairs instead of accepting an assistant professorship at Harvard. His latest book, Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present is a testament to his enduring passion for ideas and his belief in the importance of classical liberalism in an age of increasing populism and authoritarianism. Tyler sat down with Fareed to discuss what he learned from Khushwant Singh as a boy, what made his father lean towards socialism, why the Bengali intelligentsia is so left-wing, what's stuck with him from his time at an Anglican school, what's so special about visiting Amritsar, why he misses a more syncretic India, how his time at the Yale Political Union dissuaded him from politics, what he learned from Walter Isaacson and Sam Huntington, what put him off academia, how well some of his earlier writing as held up, why he's become focused on classical liberal values, whether he had reservations about becoming a TV journalist, how he's maintained a rich personal life, and more.

కుష్వంత్ సింగ్ అంటే చాలా విషయాలే గుర్తుకొస్తాయి. తన విభజన జ్ఞాపకాలను ట్రైన్ టు పాకిస్తాన్ ద్వారా అక్షరబద్ధం చేసిన రచయిత స్ఫురిస్తాడు. ఇలస్ట్రేటడ్ వీక్లీతో సంచలనం సృష్టించిన జర్నలిస్టుగా పలకరిస్తాడు. తన జోక్స్ ద్వారా అశేష ప్రజానీకాన్నీ, కవితల ద్వారా సాహితీవేత్తలను ఆకట్టుకున్న ప్రతిభ కదలాడుతుంది. ఇలా తన నిండైన జీవితంలో నిభాయించిన ఎన్నో పాత్రలు కదలాడతాయి. అన్నింటా అడుగుపెట్టడమే కాకుండా, తనదైన ముద్ర వేయడం మరో విశేసం. ఈ అరుదైన వ్యక్తి గురించి మరిన్ని ఆసక్తికరమైన విషయలు. The life of Khushwant Singh is as interesting as his novel. Starting his career as a lawyer, Kushwant turned out to be a journalist who, with his editorial capability, has created a sensation in the form of an illustrated weekly. The cartoonist, writer, politician, and diplomat shades in him excelled in every form. Here is more about this interesting personality.

"1947 Partition is a small blip in the infinite Indian civilizational consciousness beyond time, beyond space." - Professor Pankaj Jain Questions discussed: 1. What/how you were taught about Partition in school? 2. Is Partition part of shared cultural knowledge - do people reference it in everyday conversation? 3. Do you feel any connection to this history? 4. We read Anita Desai's Clear Light of Day and Bapsi Sidwa's Cracking India - if you have read either of these novels, do you feel a connection to the story, a particular character, etc.? 5. What does being Indian mean to you? 6. What do you wish Americans knew about India? This can be present-day, historical, or both. Partition-themed Films mentioned: • Garam Hawa (Post partition) • Khuda ke Liye (Pakistani) • Train to Pakistan (Based on Khushwant Singh's novel) • 1947 Earth (Post partition) • Chhalia (Post partition) • Dharmputra (Post partition) • Dhool ka Phool • Mammo • Nastik (Post partition) • Partition of Pakistan • Pinjar (Post partition) • Tamas and Buniyaad (TV Serials) •Khamosh Pani (Post partition) •Motir Maina (Post partition) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pankaj-jain/support

In this episode, I had an inspiring conversation with Gurdeep Pall. Gurdeep Pall is a Corporate VP and Head of Product Incubations at Microsoft today, and is known in the industry as the inventor of VPN (Virtual Private Networks) and launching Skype for Business/Teams. In this episode we dive deep into the power that AI unlocks for enterprises and just how companies can utilize it to its full potential. We also discuss the power of search engines and language, how to reinvent and transform a mammoth organization like Microsoft, and his inspiring 30+ years career at Microsoft.   Gurdeep's Bio: Pall has been with Microsoft since 1990 – a long and fruitful thirty-one years in which he rose from a software design engineer to the Corporate VP for the Information Platform and Experience team. He was the inventor of VPN (Virtual Private Networks), led the Skype Acquisition and integration at Microsoft and worked on several noteworthy projects, including Windows NT 3.1, Windows XP, Skype for Business (now Teams), and many others. Pall was born in Chandigarh, India. In later adolescence, he considered following in his Brigadier father's footsteps by joining the Indian army. “There was something inside me that kept telling me that this was not what I was meant for,” he told Khushwant Singh at The Global Sikh Trail in an exclusive interview. Instead, he pursued computer engineering at Birla Institute of Technology where he graduated with his undergraduate degree.

What is the balance between privacy rights and freedom of expression? As we mark the progress of privacy rights, we examine an important case which vacated an injunction against the publication of a book, holding the freedom of expression to be greater than that of privacy and observing that questions of defamation can be settled by trial. We also look at why the UIDAI did not consider serious questions of a data leak or how citizens' biometric data is shared. Finally, we look at the darkest dimension of the Delhi sealing case: the profit made by YK Sabharwal's sons.

Khushwant Singh was an author, lawyer, diplomat, journalist and politician…but most importantly he was irreverent in all these avatars. His ready wit, magnanimity and his ability to have an “equal malice towards one and all”, were his unique qualities. I was lucky to meet and film him many years ago for Penguin Books India, for the launch of his book (which was also to be his last). I have many fond memories of chats with him at his home in Sujan Singh Park. When I met Khushwant Singh he was in his mid 90's but his mind was sharp as an arrow. He was generous with food, libations, shers, philosophy and most of all his humour. The last time I met him, he kissed my hand and guffawed, “Now you can go tell everyone that I am a dirty old man.” “It's our little secret.” I said and he laughed for a long time. Someday I will write about those visits. For now, listen to one of Khushwant Singh memorable stories- The Portrait of a Lady, translated into Hindi.

Excerpts from Abraham Lincoln's letter to his son's teacher as mentioned in Khushwant Singh's book ‘The Freethinker's Prayer Book': ”Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books… also give him quite time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and the flowers on a green hillside. Teach him to be gentle with gentle people, and tough with the tough. Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad… Teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right."

Indian literary luminary Khushwant Singh was born in Hadali, now in Pakistan. His friend Mohammad Asad Ali Bhatti shares some of his fondest memories, including how Mr Singh’s ashes found their way to his native village and now remain preserved for posterity.

The Portrait of a Lady' is part of an autobiography by Khushwant Singh. In this story, the author draws a pen portrait of his grandmother. He beautifully unfolds their relationship and how it undergoes several changes. In other words, the story is a loving tribute from a grandson to his grandmother.

Khushwant Singh donned many a cap over the course of his life. After beginning his career as a lawyer in Lahore, Singh would go on to become a journalist, a diplomat, and even a politician. While his death came at the ripe old age of 98, Singh's acidic wit, caustic humour and skillful way with words left an impact on people that will stay beyond his time. This is a previously unpublished interview with Khushwant Singh that was recorded in 2009 by Dr. Kiran Bala, just after Singh turned 94. Producer: Vishnu Gopinath
