His comment to Babur Ghauri(" Come with me to an African village, Half the children will look like you.") was termed highly racial by some. I could not stop agreeing with them.

Man of his international stature and education should know it. This comment was racist to its root.

Overall a great lecture. He knows the true problems of this country and is not afraid to speak the truth. Like the guy :P

About the comment on Babur Ghauri, Yes it could be percieved as racist (and I know who was the first one to point it out) but after watching the video I'd say this: It wasn't politically correct of him to say this but I believe he was just making an analogy and showing Ghauri the mirror. So tell me is Ghauri's accusation racist? if not then neither is Imran's analogy in its context. Out of context or strictly idealistically speaking, the comment is wrong.

Send video to:
info.civil.disobedience@gmail.com

They are in touch with BBC.
GMAIL allows 15 mb attachments I think.

BBC does NOT accept YouTube. So we need to forward original videos (with subtitles if they are in urdu)

Can you do the subtitling and mail it to the address above with a note waiving copyright?

first of all none of these videos are hosted on youtube, first one is on Google-Video and the other is on Blip.tv

anyhow i can send these files to the specified email, but is it necessary to subtitle the video ?

It seems the whole lecture that was uploaded on Google Video has been removed. Can it "please" be restored?
