Husna
India’s amazing Piyush Mishra performing at Coke Studio MTV India.
The song is a letter from one ‘Javed’ who was separated from his lover ‘Husna’ during the bloody Partition of India in 1947 that drew an artificial border dividing the Punjab, dividing millions and causing the slaughter of a million. Here Mishra wails about the powerlessness of love in face of politics. Enjoy.

An Ode to Baba Farid
Khwaja Farīduddīn Mas’ūd Ganjshakar was a Muslim missionary in Punjab who is equally revered by both Sikhs and Muslims. Also known as Baba Farid (1173–1266) the saint stands in sharp contrast to the radical Islam that has swept his birthplace. Here, the Pakistani communist band ‘Laal’ (Reds) sing an ode to the great poet of Punjab.

Good honest people have been seeking peace in chaos for centuries.May we all think and act in a way that some day the drunkenness/blindness caused by Religion, Language, Wealth, Nationality and Greed will disappear and we will be able to live in peace for the good of humankind as well as the rest of the living beings including plants on this planet.
Amen.

Just did a YouTube search on ‘maulvi sex scandal’ and found hundreds of videos. Every religion has crazy preachers who think religion is their private property.
live long and healthy life tarek fatah
Viewing your interviews, with all the studies and and comments, you have given a different perspective of the facts to us that till date we thought were not our concern.
It is true that for the whole of student life in Indian schools, the pupils are taught only one singular view of history. Your lateral view does shake the brain to think and make a fair judgement of the facts, so exposed, but still hidden from the general public.
Thanks for this thought , Amen
How about Qawwali’s? This is from a Bollywood film – D-Day . It is Murshid Khele Holi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJFPhpMmzR4
Thank you for being so awesome.
Dear Tarek,
I am a regular reader of your tweets. Great work and thanks for your sincere support for Baloch cause and exposing Islamists. I just want you to correct one error on the title of the songs posted on your site. “Danah Pah Danah” is not Balochi but a Brahvi song. Brahvi is the second most widely spoken language of Balochistan which is very different from Balochi.
love u and your thoughts on writings on Facebook & Twitter
salaam sir…we are with you for peace and prosperous world.

Tarek Sir, Probably you don’t know and people don’t realize how SPECIAL your insights are – straight from heart and precious like diamonds. More needs to be done to spread the light of your knowledge, to clear away the darkness of ignorance that has spread all over the world. Perhaps a well researched book be published on all your clarifications and knowledge that you have shared. These facts can then be hardcoded and available to for all to see. Good luck Sir in all your endeavors. My sincerest best wishes and prayers are with you.

Dear Tarek Bhai,
I am a lyricist and a writer from india. sometime back the lustre of money faded in my eyes and i left my thriving export business to write songs. after getting established as a non filmy lyricist, i have just now signed a few movies and gotten my first book published in english as well.
i am a great admirer of your thoughts and just wanted to connect with you somehow
will await your reply sir.
Rajiv bhai, you can reach me at tarek.fatah@gmail.com or on twitter @TarekFatah.
Tarek Ji,
I am admirer of yours and have been inspired to read more about my history as an Indian. Intead of celebrating the 71st independence day of India, I decided to start a petition on change.org to re-name Lodhi Rd in Delhi to Dara Shikoh Rd. I believe Dara Shikoh needs to be immortalized in India’s history. Can you please support by signing this petition as well?

I will await your reply sir.
Sincerely,

dear sir,
I heard in one of your interviews that you were writing a book entitled “the hindu is not my enemy”. could you please let us know when can we expect the book ?
I recently read the tragic illusion of an islamic state and the logical arguments with reference to the beliefs is quite interesting. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors and wish you a long life and happiness >

Hi Sir
I hope you are at the best of your health while reading this.
This is Manish from delhi India. I am a great admirer of yours sir. I find you someone who speaks truth from heart backed by his intellectual knowledge too. Sir aapse kaafi baatein seekhne ko milti hain mujhe aur apni kain galat fahmiyan bhi durust hoti hain aur kuchh beliefs bhi majboot hote hain. However anyone understand any person on the basis of his own understanding and beliefs So I am also having some thoughts slightly different from your understanding.
I like your songs collection. I would like to recommend you to listen Rafi saahab or add some of his good songs if you already his listener. He is a Godlike legendary singer and true person for the whole world an we Indians are so proud of him. I would like to recommend this song of Rafi saahab.

Respected Sir,
Being into academics, I have been an ardent follower of your interviews ,tweets and insights and I am compelled to admit the fact that a pragmatic man like you is very rare. Just like the Bollywood icons, you too are a rage amongst youngsters in India and I must say for all the good reasons. You have not only enlightened us but also given us so much to reflect upon and reason out and I am sure you will keep inspiring us with your amazing intellectual renditions.
Wishing you a long ,healthy and prosperous ahead,
Due regards,
Ketki
Dear Sir
No matter what happens in your fight for justice but please know that there are thousands of well-wishers like myself who pray for you each & every day
God bless

I’m originally from Spain, now living in the USA. Your namesake landed in Gibraltar in 711 CE and I have read about the history of the Moors in Spain since I was a kid. The glory days of Cordoba and Granada which at their time were the jewels of the Western world spark the imagination with tales of riches, adventure and discovery. How great it would be to see the heart of Islam turn to the times were Christian, Jew, Hindu and Moslem co-existed in peace in those great cities! When Muslim scientists were at the forefront of the understanding of the unverse and the planet in which we live. The library of Al-Hakam II rivaling in grandeur the very library of Alexandria. Books from the Classic Greek philosopers were being translated into Arabic, Latin, AND Hebrew. Jewish stonemasons helped build the colums of the Great Mosque. Intellectuals were held in the highest steem in those societies. Now here we are over a thousand years later working hard to bring Islam back to that high standard of civilization. I commend you and thank you for all you’re doing.
Dear respected tarek sir,
