Thanks Shekhar, with the CTC episode you have, for us viewers, compensated that one day off that you took some time back on monday.😛😛👍👍👍👍
I enjoy your news on Pakistan. You don’t insult them, you give the facts. There is always slight negativity but not very openly 😀. I would like to know how India became nuclear and were they BLACKMAILING Pakistan before Pakistan got nuclear power.

@@satishjerath6121 Dr Aq is Islami hero Allah Bless him I love him
@ Amit Mishra, And that masala is called LIES.
Thanks from Sri Lanka, Mr Shekhar Gupta. This is ultimately sad. Humans need more forms of energy, as we, in our selfish thirst for comfort, thrills, what-have-you, realise that we're fast exhausting the forms of conventional energy that were available. What we need is energy to allow us, humans, to live peacefully and comfortably. Ethics of that? We don't seem to think that other life forms have a right to independent existence.
Can't we guys then, at least set about our hedonistic dreams rationally. No, we have to use nuclear energy to produce bombs. Some "white" countries think that only they can be trusted to use nuclear (military) technology responsibly. How responsibly? To be seen in how they treated the Afghans for the last two years - abandoned to the Taliban.
The question then arises, whether Abdul Qadeer Khan did anything wrong? Yes, if we have a World Perspective. No, he didn't when one considers how many "white" countries think that they can play around with the rest of the world. In those privileged countries there are many who have benefitted from what their indigenous countries had provided them or their forbears, and they escape to the "white" countries and crow at non-development where "their people" still live.
So how do we blame the Pakistanis, the Iranians, the North Koreans? We cannot. Blame nationalism, and the existence of military establishments, where there is no accountability for resources allocated. We, in Lanka, have now got ourselves a military government - which we cannot now get rid of. Yet it was an unthinking majority of voters who voted this junta into power. They know how to rouse communal tensions, and so they were voted in. The Elections were not unfairly conducted.
Democracy won't work unless we can find a way of ensuring than when (in the case of my country) 13 million people have to trek to the polling booths (they now delude themselves that staying-at-home is a solution) their faculties of reasoning alone are active (not emotions, or more often dismissing the importance of voting and do as the rest of the family says that they will vote), and choose the best of the bad lot who are on offer.
On point on white privilege
Espionage is shameful. It's a blatant admission of own inability to make the technology in question. As for Right and Wrong, it depends on where you stand on the subject.
You are on point. Many in the western world have committed far henious crimes then smuggling which led into millions of deaths of non white populations. Most recently many cases have emerged of nuclear proliferation in India which have gone unnoticed by authorities or the same western democracies which cry afoul of Muslim countries.
Typical convoluted leftist thought process.
Most white countries themselves do no possess nuclear weapons. White Europeans, not just as individuals but as people and civilisation used to be racist towards people of color at one point in time and they colonized and exploited those colonies. Whites themselves were war-hungry, fighting wars among themselves upto a point, just like any other historical part of the world where empires would wage wars against each other. The WW2 fought over threat of Europe turning a colony changed the White worldview and postmodern ideas were introduced- from war and colonial merchatilist economies, their direction turned towards international rules based order, market access and trade. Obviously it was a White led international order and White western Europe had industrialized with access to technology, better educational standards and democratized by that time with universal franchise- so they had a significant edge and a robust headstart in that order. But wartorn Japan and Germany, impoverished south Korea understood the salience of the order, peacefully progressed, became industrialized and emerged as major regional powers- they also democratized and behaved responsibly in the world order. The White countries never messed with these countries. Some gulf countries (like the UAE) followed suit hedging their easy gotten oil profit and economically developed and are not troubled by the White countries. China, despite being a communist nuclear power, was not messed with till it prospered calmly by keeping to itself. China's re-emergence as a economic super power can be ascribed to the cooperation by the White western countries. So while there is anglo-saxon affinity and European practise of getting together for common economic goal, looking at the way some non White countries progressed with cooperation from White countries, it can be safely concluded that it is not about white power but about how big countries exert their big power. If tiny countries with no semblance of internal democracy and free and fair judiciary (implying lack of internal checks and balances needed when dealing with nuclear weapons in possession), no zeal for socioeconomic progress (which would lead to internal societal stability that would make their polity reintrospect as to whether they overplayed the threat of nuclear retaliation and now needed to climb down and be content with trade and statusquo), start punching far above their weight and provide patronage to nonstate actors that carry out violent activities across the border, with cloak of plausible deniability under blackmailing nuclear umbrella, do not have no first use policy (that could lead to error in judgment in an eventuality like war with the adversary trying to preempt any nuclear strike) and indulge in wanton proliferation activity, not just White countries or big countries but the nonwhite countries in the immediate neighborhood desiring a peaceful neighborhood would certainly have a beef with that, just like India has with Pakistan.
There is responsibility but there is also affordability factor. None of the neighboring countries of Afghanistan were actually willing to help the democratically elected Afghan government seen by those anti American countries as a puppet government of the USA (CSTU countries are toothless anyway), although no matter howsoever corrupt, still that Afghan government happened to be inclusive, progressive and were forward looking socioeconomically unlike those taliban goat herders. Iran, China and Russia considered American presence there as a threat to themselves and continously plotted to hinder the American supply line to their bases in Afghanistan that the US had to provision from half way across the world- the US presence in Afghanistan would cost USD 300 million a day every day for two decades. If Sri Lanka still wants Americans to stay there, you must provide the funds to the Americans in the first place and offer your soldiers to perform active combat duty in that desert saddled with threat of low intensity unconventional warfare anytime- one can gauge the stress level of an American soldier deployed in that forsaken land cussing themselves thinking they could earn USD 50000 a year in a sedentary job staying in an American city.
Sri Lanka's problem is that whatever Sri Lanka could achieve with socialism, it has achieved and that socialistic policies have exhausted leading to saturation in your economy. If there is still poverty in your economy, that can not be solved by any furthering of those same socialistic policies- you need fresh injection of money as investment in your economy. Sri Lanka chose a dangerous path of attracting investment from India and China by playing one against the other. It is just that it has high risks for Sri Lanka with limited prospects of any groundbreaking success. The only other avenue left for Sri Lanka is adopting what Taiwan and Singapore etc did- building technology, r&d and market dominating assets by focusing on building institutions in an environment of competitive free market economy and by drawing high net worth qualified foreign expats as professionals. Sri Lanka never did that instead tried to blindfoldedly copy Singapore's way of trade facilitation through ports etc but that market is already taken and saturated. Sri Lanka would succed if it tried to build those ports in '70s and '80s but it is late to the party. Sri Lanka's current government may be tilted towards hardliners, but in no way current Sri Lanka is a military power to reckon with.
@@knightatdawndonbynight8432 Thanks for taking the trouble to say all that. My comment was mostly a bemoaning of how our societies (including Sri Lanka's) being run mainly by military and arms lobbies. What was being discussed was the ethics of nuclear proliferation.
Afghanistan; the west ought to work out whether they ought at all to interfere in societies that are quite different, but thereafter act consistently. I agree that in the course of twenty years a lot of good was done. I'm no authority. I learnt something of that only recently. Despite all the corruption (and on that there is agreement) the lives of many Afghans improved. The decision to pull out was fine, but the elected Afghan government should have been included in negotiating a transition. The final handing back by the Biden administration was so ill-managed.
In Sri Lanka, we've messed things up by insisting on holding on to myth-based nationalism. I belong to the Sinhalese majority. We were more to blame than the others. Things could have been very much better. We now have a really bad regime, foolishly voted in. I don't think that we will meet with any success discussing it here. It looks as though we face a bleak future. We have nobody to blame but ourselves.
What we have now is a military regime, set to get worse.
The setting is very refreshing!

It makes me puke seeing how much of a pussy our pms were. Pak used to threten n they used to cower in fear despite knowing that they had developed the same bomb in 1974 only ! Seriously ? How much of a pussy one can be ?
@@riturajsingh4581 Actually, u give them too much credit. The reason why Pak developed tactical nukes eventhough they had conventional nukes was becoz they wud like to avoid a situation where pak launched a conventional nuke killing some 3 million or so people in India n then risking India launching a much bigger nuke killing millions in pak. Tactical nukes cannot cause that much damage as their range r very small n can kill about 40 to 50 soldiers at LoC or so. Later, as time passed India left pak way behind in terms of economy, influence, technology n also that blackmail fear started dissipating so, they realised that they cant win even with tactical n conventional nukes so they started proxy war. Although nowadays these proxy wars r hurting pakistani economy wayyy to much

2 Bonuses, CTC on Sunday + Back to his garden.
Gone are the days of monsoon
The vastness and internationality of Shekhar's experience, the rigor in his research, and the freshness of his memoirs - I am trumped in admiration. Also, the way I see it, AQ Khan is a pioneer of this new phase of nuclear deterrence. He is sort of a Robinhood of nuclear technology. If not for him, the US would be bombing countries with nuclear bombs just like it used the atomic bomb against Japan in WW II. He did for Pakistan what Kalam did for India and that is why I respect both for their talents.
But Abdul kalam did not sell it to a country like north korea that's the difference between both.
AQK did what he felt was right for his country. I can respect that. However once the Robin Hood went rogue with nuclear proliferation he destroyed that legacy. Hence, I withdraw that respect that I had for him.
@@BruceWayne-qe7bs why not? if India didnt had the bomb, china would have overran us. America was bombing and clandestinely throwing democratic governments through paid coups and what not. India could have been its other over-reaching victim.
@@ayanokoji7729 I can understand where you are coming from but "a country like north korea" is just a phrase. We tend to judge other countries badly when they work on strengthening their place in the world, while we fully support when our country does the same.

Dr. Khan said that he did not hate Hindus. Nor was he an India-hater.
He loved his birthplace Bhopal and its people and was really proud of being Bhopali and Pashtun. He also said he woluld like to see good realtions with India, but the Kashmir issue should be solved.
As an intelligent man and being from India he was well aware of the Indian Hindu mindset. He said he knew how sneaky they were and wont miss any chance to create problems for Pakistan.
Looking at the state of Indian Muslims today he was absolutle right.
May Allah grant him Jannat ul Firdaus.
No matter what this man served his nation well and that's commendable... As we say everything is fair in love and war, maybe the defeat of 1971 made him more determined to have a nuclear weapon for Pakistan as he realised that Pakistan cannot defeat india in conventional warfare... But see the irony of both the nation's a muslim migrated to Pakistan and exchanged missile technology with North Korea.. And an Indian muslim developed one of the most advanced missile technology of the world for india by himself... Aq khan was good but DR KALAM WAS PURE GOLD...

But the way he achieved is completely wrong, on top of it he helped Iran & North Korea which are rough countries to develop their Nuclear capabilities. By all this Pakistanis should felt ashamed of his path and wrong doing.
Why blame America. If India had capable leaders, India could have stopped Pakistan from acquiring A-bomb like what Israel did to Iraq. India had nuclear and conventional superiority before Pakistan acquired Nukes. India could've stoped Pakistan covertly or overtly from getting Nukes.
AQK sold tech to North Korea, because he got missile tech in return. A very logical , considering a low tech country like Pak.
@@munavvarulmillath If Indian leaders have that capability and support, definitely India might done. You aware US is a super power and world police since 2 nd worldwar. Instead of proper policii, they did biased. As soon as it realised..it sanctioned against Iran and North Korea are the few examples.

As long as Us supports them(money and weapons) they'll get away with many things.
Building an economy or a country isn't their agenda. Pakistan is an idea not any kind of land entity which we think.

These countries doesn't need to sanction Pakistan to punish it......they just need to freeze the oversea assets of Pakistani generals [Which is their lifeline] still no major action.
Whatever he did, he did it for the love of his nation and not for his benefit. He did not make millions out of it. Since his retirement, he was living on the government pension as an ordinary citizen. This is the reason why Pakistani love this guy.

It would be great if you also investigate and publish the incidents of uranium smuggling inside India. Twice it happened just within this year.
Indians are just being bitter and childish by calling him names. whether you like him or not. calling him names is just childish. right or wrong he did great things, things that most people on earth are incapable of doing and many many countries tried and failed. the entire process was not written in a document that he put in a usb drive and stole. it was much more complicated. and he had excellent knowledge about the technology that allowed him to access what was missing , where to get it and how to get it without raising too many eyebrows. I think his life deserves a movie.
Lol ,great things?? He was basically a dacoit . He didn't create things, he stole things 😂
Did we watch different videos? Cz he wasn't called any names.
@@cauliflowerhead2735 I'm referring to the comments. because Indians don't know the difference between a spy and a thief and they never will. Pakistan relied heavily on its intelligence and espionage skills to make up for her shortcomings in conventional power and smaller size. and they always did an exceptional job. again it doesn't matter whether you think its right or wrong , if you look at any spy agency with the lens of conventional moral and ethical values they all come out as evil so all these comments are just illogical.

Where has, the Indian rules who rebuilt their cities like sikh rulers in case of lahore are non-believers to them and hence not worth respecting. Hope I gave some insight into our troubles.
Yaqub Khan was brother of famous Yunus Khan. Yaqub Khan opted for Pakistan while Yunus Khan opted for Indian army. They never met eachother again.
Yes that is correct. They infact fought each other during the skirmishes on 1948. Shazibzada Yaqoob Khan was an epitome of elegance. He spoke and wrote several languages. I remember one of his episiodes. While on a visit to East Pakistan; he had to give a speech in Paltan maidan in Dhaka. The Mukti bhani was up to its mischeif and had planned to disrupt it. ShazibZada yaqoob came on the dice and started speaking in pure Bangla. Every one had thought that he would either address in English or Urdu. But there was a complete silence when he started speaking in Bangla and at the end the entire crowd was charged up and ended up shouting Pakistan Zinadabad. He was also the governor of East Pakistan but resigned in protest as he wanted to end the deadlock with negotiation and wanted to avoid bloodshed at all costs.

Our nation is always debtur of dr A Q Khan
Thanks for providing detailed Hx of AQK he did what he had to do to try and protect his country from a hostile neighbour. I understand why Indians won’t like him but as a Pakistani he was a hero. If only India and Pakistan can stop trying to destroy each other we maybe able to tackle the real problems in our region.
there won't be peace in the world as long as Pakistan is present on the world map (read ISI). this is justified by the fact that a smuggler is a hero
If that's all he had done, Indians would have respected him too, as a scientist. But he was not a nice person. Look up what AQ Khan had said about one of the MOST saintly characters of india, Dr Abdul Kalam - that too on his death. If you can say such things about Kalam sir, shows how jealous and petty minded you are.
Sorry but AQ Khan was a petty, small minded man. And we dont say it because he built the nuclear bomb for you.
Same feeling of peace at this side of the border too, however your country's rulers in the militablishment doesn't want that to happen. We'll have to continue hostilities until common Pakistanis like you understand the depth of the problem that exists on your end
Lack of empathy on both sides off the border is an issue. Your Hero maybe a Villain for another country/nation. Pakistan has many issues but one thing I admire about our people is “The Grit”. My Indian friends imagine India being 5 times smaller in size, population and everything else off its neighbour who is trying to destabilise & destroy your country from day 1. One off your fellow citizen spends almost all off his life trying to build your defence stronger & does the job. Is he a hero? Or a villain?
@@shantanu8719 and here in Pakistan people saw raw and India as the real threat for peace...bro apna vision bara Karo modi ka Tarah na bano🤣
Because of AQ Khan, there has been no war between Pakistan and Hindustan. He was a proud muslim, and a humane person.
Why can't other Indian journalists have this maturity, deep impartial analytical ability, historical knowledge, storytelling ability and sense of humour like Shekhar Gupta? Compare him to the NDTV/WION ones or other argumentative, bullsh*t spewing, partisan, sensationalist, ignorant of history, non-listening journalists.
He started as a journalist in pre-television era and has the experience of working from the ground, going and meeting people one-on-one and visiting places by himself, rather than making calls and asking questions or showing some footage taken/shared by others . The others don't have it. Which ever organization he has worked in, he has made his mark there. He started as a sapling, now grown to become a banyan tree.
We shouldn’t forget that RAW had the location of whole Pakistani nuclear program and the Air Force was ready to conduct air strikes but instead of giving the go ahead Moraji Desai informed Pakistan about the upcoming air strikes and the whole operation was foiled. These were the people running our country 😞
That's why he was awarded Nishan-e-Pakistan by General Zia and mind it Atal Bihar Vajpayee was the External Affairs Minister . That socalled Gandhian and" self-urine drinker" Desai.That resulted in most brutal killings of RAW agents in Pakistan , destroying wholeRAW network established by RAW chief RamnathKav under Indira Gandhiji.

A.Q. Khan was a patriot and hero for all Pakistanis. Will always be honored!
Thank you very much AQ for saving us & for my next generation as well 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
We think Dr Khan was a great patriot from whom Indians could learn. How to come back to their country for a paltry sum to build its defence . This is patriotism. Look at Indians they run away from country to serve others for big sums
This is Hindu psyche . So what if be gave nuclear tech to others couldn't have been to pocket money from this . Not good railing against him . A great true Pathan . Indian Military Veterans .
Stealing/smuggling technology from other countries is not patriotism, at max. a good thief at best!
As a nuclear scientist he was not held in high regard in the international peer community. No innovation just a technology transfer agent and for this he is rightly acknowledged in his country. He delivered through tech. Smuggling.
@Malik Abdul Rehman The world is burning because of your hero.
Don't forget that he was intelligent enough in the first place to be appointed at a crucial and sensitive position in a foreign country.. not everyone can get access to those things that easily
He served the purpose for his country's survival. Nothing else needed.
Dear goal is to get Atom bomb, no innovation required.

Stop humiliating our Heroes. We have what we have and we are proud of Dr. AQK. May ALLAH grant him highest place in Jannah. Ameen

Perhaps, all my friends from Bhopal don't believe a Bhopali can make an atom bomb. But, like many people, history served him right as he always a "mohajir". Not surprised that a Pakistani even helped NorthKorea just for his India hatred. Thank You GuptaJi, for dropping a CTC on a Sunday.
Being a Pakistani, after watching your video I have most respect for AQ Khan for what he did for his country, however he should not have help evil counties like Iran and North Korea etc. But overall rest in peace Mr Khan. We love you and always will.

He was a great hero of pakistan who brought a five times big country india to its knees. India didn't dare to attack Pakistan after it came to know that Pakistan had a nuclear bomb. Hats off to Dr. Qadeer khan. All Pakistanis love you.
Forgot Kargil?
When I saw the notification of a CTC on Sunday, I knew it was gonna be some interesting story.
Few people have done as much for three countries as he did. Pakistan, Iran and N Korea are still independent today thanks to him.
He was HERO
He is Hero
He will Always be HERO
im from pakistan and fully aware of the indian deliberate policy to destabilize pakistan. This title was provocative to someone of my background. However, after listening through the whole thing, I must say that you did a very good job trying to present the facts and remained objective for large part of your discussion. Unfortunately, indian journalism has big tendency to sensatiolize issues so its very refreshing to see someone like yourself. Apart from some minor points of bias, I really liked your discussion. Liked the video.
In Pakistan 3 people sit across the table and they ask each other do you agree and they all say see that is the proof.
The end results matter which was to make Pakistan nuclear power which he succeeded that is the only thing that matters for every Pakistani. Salute to Dr AQ Khan. Pakistan Zindabad 🇵🇰
Dr. AQ Khan was having absolute power equivalent to the PM of Pakistan during Bhutto Regime and was having No Question Ask Clearance from any authority in Pakistan....
The decision of US intelligence not to arrest in exchange of support in Soviet Afghan War from Pakistan was the biggest failure of West in preventing Pakistan in becoming a nuclear power
Surprise. I was expecting this topic tomorrow
Lovely episode and thank you for coming in on a Sunday
what was india doing, india should have taken initiatives like israel.
india was busy in ram mandir politics
I was about to sleep but opened RUclips and found CTC on Sunday. Thanks SG for a good night.
I wonder every day - how do you find personal time with family, as you have spent a lot of time travelling & researching? I am having serious trouble to find any time after work.
This is a team effort, if you think this is done by one person you can't comprehend how media works
Why are you hating him , he was genius!!!
A beautiful presentation by Shekharji, which is of his level-playing. Full of facts & analysis. Great home work. Jai Hind.
Thanks for making report on our hero... Learnt a lot about how hard he worked.
ghanta....... chor tha wo..

I would rather listen to this than watching a 007 movie.

Dr A Q Khan had Urdu as mother tongue, He was a Pathan only that at some point his ancestors were from a pathan tribe. For generations they were in UP/CP.
Yes a muhajir
Shekhar Ji - Please give your listeners/ watchers some rest on a Sunday !! 🙏
Technology language on a Sunday ? My brains are switched off 😀😀😀.
Good wishes from London to your team and You .
Sunday afternoon 😀 watching your episode in my local pub in Battersea .
Watching BBC news coverage at the moment .
Indeed enemy of Pakistan in this case Abhi Nandan is an Indian Hero 😃
Similarly, an enemy of India in this case Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan is a Pakistani hero with success on his shoulders. If Indian would not have triggered a nuclear race in 1974, Pakistan may not have this idea all alone, so here we are!
What a surprise on Sunday!
Even we pakistani dont know too much about pakistani bomb, i appreciate for ur research, ur much sensible man
He didn't deal with iran or labia. only trade with north Korea in return of missile technology
Why couldn't he build it himself, if he was so talented?
Wow! CTC on Sunday, SG ji, like the episode you are nothing short of surprise. Refreshing episode.
Gupta Sahib is lying more frequently than usual. Pakistan's nuclear program was a response to Indian nuclear program. Bhutto urged India not to go on a nuclear path but India didn't listen
Respect for Dr AQ Khan
surprise CTC on sunday!!!

Hope it went well for you , all the best for the upcoming tests !!

@@Holaa2120 Love from INDIA
Thanks to Mr.Shekar, who has shown his class and experience in Journalism. He has delved very deeply and incisivelly into this AQ.Khans history on his role in the Pakistan bomb.I do remember that when the Americans came after this Scientist, it was Pervez Mushraff who gave shelter and saved him and hailed him as a great patriot and father of this nuclear Pakistan bomb. In spite of so much arm twisting by the Americans, Mushraff never budged an inch. I do remember this AQ.Khan also had some misadventure in Norway.. On the whole the Europearn Union as well as the Americans should be ashamed for this casual approach. Instead of nabbing and putting him on trial they let him off so easily. As a Pakistan citizen one can understand his interest of for his motherland but this is another matter. Just how can the world condone his role when this goon sold all nuclear secrets to rogue nations like North Korea, Iran, Libaya and Iraq. We can all now see how N.Korea is now a threat to the whole world. Inspite of so many years of duplicity and dirty games by the Pakistan, we can see how the Americans have never learnt a lesson, and it also seems they will never learn a lesson for good. Now with Pakistan possessing the nuclear bomb, there is a very huge risk of this falling into the wrong hands of any muslim terrorist, like the Al-Quaeda, or ISIS or Pakistan terrorist. The whole region nay the whole world is now very unsafe all because of Pakistan in the present scenario. Jai Hind!
We were so close to blitzkrieg the entire facility with the help of the Israeli airforce, but we didn't have the guts to, instead Morarji Desai compromised the identities of many R&AW assets in a phone call to Zia ul Haq. Even later on PM IK Gujral dissolved the CIT - X which could have turned to be a nightmare for Pak. We can blame our leadership for most of the botched ops against Pak.
You are right india never had guts and will never have

He did what he had to do for his country! Soviets spied on the Manhattan project in 1940s and stealing the plans. Your country's national interest is more important than smuggling etc, He hated India though, he was from Bhopal and hated India
Indians citizens claim to be patriotic just bcoz they are living in india
USA accuses even India of stealing nuclear technology. They accuse even China of Stealing nuclear technology. They also make it look like USA is the only country that does things and every one else Steals. Many of the scientist in US nuclear project were Germans. I think They were mostly Jews.
Why should he like and be faithful to the the people who didn't recognise his talent and discriminated against him because of his religion? There are thousands of extremely skilled Indians who prefer to work abroad where they are recognised and respected.

Sir, how come on a Sunday CTC? , I wish we can have it 365 days a year..but I suppose the study was very close to you and hence the special episode... Anyways I liked it a lot...and also added to lot of my knowledge they way you compared both Khan's...
Great show tonight. Surprised SG didn't mention the book Deception by Levy & Clark on AQK as recommended reading especially since he recently interviewed Levy on one of his latest book release. Maybe one day CTC will put up a show on the Supergun scientist Dr. Gerald Bull and Saddam Hussein's quest for the fist of god.
Aqkhan is the legend
Even I am pakistani I got huge knowledge from this man..! Thanks sir...!
And if I talk about AQ Khan then he is our hero ... Just like you indians have heros and you have great feelings for them, we pakistanis also have much much greater feeling for him.. May his soul enter paradise..!
