00:00Book is not, this book is not about that one paragraph because you should read what comes
00:08before that on the same page and what comes after that on the same page and then carry on with the
00:14story and if you come to the last page you'll understand what the story is all about. It's
00:22about a great man. I've said the tallest leader of Kashmir, one of the tallest leaders of the
00:31country and my friend sitting here, Pravath, corrected me when I told him about the book.
00:39He said, sir, you need to get serious. He's one of the tallest leaders of the world and I go along
00:47with Pravath. Thank you for correcting me, Pravath, because Dr. Shah is a legend. Whatever anybody
00:56might say, this will not change. And before I come to the end of that, there is one other thing.
01:10There's a little epigraph in the book, apart from the dedication. And it's, I've quoted the great
01:21man, Y.D. Gundavia, whom I never had the good fortune of knowing or meeting. But our vice president here
01:34would know him, Manisa would know him. And he says, the sands are running out. Time is on nobody's
01:42side. We need to move on. And we need to move on with Pakistan. I don't know how many people will
01:49agree with me, but I've said this umpteen times and I will continue to say it, that we must move forward
01:56with Pakistan.
