The Curious Case of Tarek Fatah

[Neelo]

Tarek Fatah is now largely perceived as a kook and isn't taken seriously at all outside of India.

That being said, is Tarek playing a character in public as an Islamophobe?

It seems Fatah has other views behind closed doors.

Tarek Fatah has made quite a good living for himself feeding Hindutva Indian nationalist a constant stream of Pakistanophobia, conspiracy theories and incoherent rants. Commonly he is invited to India to discuss Pakistan, since India suffers from a massive inferiority complex. Inviting Fatah is often seen as a way to "justify" that complex.

But behind closed doors and in private, it appears Fatah has a slightly different view. In this undercover video recorded by Punjabi nationalists in Toronto (Canada), Fatah admits on video what his true views actually are:

1. India was never one country, even during the time of Ashoka or the British.

2. The breakup of India would be the best thing.

3. India should resemble Europe, with independent countries having open borders and common currency.

These views seems to contradict what Fatah likes to preach in public while on tour making money in India during his incoherent public rants about the breakup of Pakistan. Odd, but it gets better.

Fatah has come public claiming that this video was recorded without his consent, as if that's an actual argument. What difference should it make if Fatah was being recorded or not? Shouldn't his views remain consistent regardless?

What do you think about Tarek Fatah? Some have suspected he may actually be an ISI agent playing the role of an eccentric Hindutva sympathizer. If that's the case, it's brilliant.

However, the Punjabi nationalists who recorded this video have suggested that he's being paid off by the Consulate Office of India in Toronto to spew half baked conspiracy theories against Canadian Punjabis who support the Khalistan movement. If that's the case, then the Indian Consulate may want to reconsider Fatah's services.

I haven't seen much of Tarek Fatah's videos, but from the few that I have, I have gathered that he is more of a critic of Pakistan than a supporter of India. He has often called India a weak state for not undertaking military action against Pakistan. I do not recall him ever crediting India for being a union of diverse states. His commentary often includes the point that Indus river is in Pakistan, that Sindh which is in our national anthem is in Pakistan and similar things, followed by a somewhat phoney lament about India's unwillingness or incapability to bring those areas under its dominion. He keeps saying the same thing in every talk I have seen so I grew tired of it. I don't find his opinion about India being better off balkanized as incompatible with his other views. That however will not be easy to explain to his Indian fans.

He keeps calling Pakistan a failed state and a fake state, so it is not difficult to imagine that he feels the same way about India. He will of course not say this publicly.

One day later he's dead

He is a paid tool .. that says any thing for the highest bidder


Besides there is no intellect in him

 

[ThunderCat]

He's an East Punjabi Muhajir. Even though he criticizes so-called "urdu speaking" Muhajirs, his views are very similar to the same neo-liberal Muhajirs he criticizes.

His public views which he's paid to spew or the undercover views?

1 min video with cuts. Looks very old. Moreover he says IF India was to breakup it will be good for the new states(why? It's not shown because propaganda zindabad), as he believes there is no thread that binds Delhi with Madras.

It's an undated opinion, which almost all Pakistanis have. Nowhere in the video he advocates cessation of Indian states.

It's only in the recent years he got to know India more closely, so why color yourself surprised that his views may have been changed?

Most Pakistanis live with delusions all their lives, it's not novel for someone to break free at a later stage.

Lol you seem pressed.

Lol you seem pressed.

I guess you mean pissed, and no... Don't flatter yourself, no one gets pissed at chapraasi's musings

 

[ThunderCat]

His public views which he's paid to spew or the undercover views?

You could state so. But in that case all Muhajir neo-liberals who spew this kind of propaganda must be paid then.

Edited my previous post.

Dude is a grifter.
It's a pretty easy gig, sell out your people to Hindu/Christen right, go on lecture circuits, rake in the $$$
He's not the only one, others did the same thing.
It's a good gig if you have no scruples.

Fatah has always been a grifter, he says what he says because he knows there are idiots in India who will pay him handsomely.

You can probably make a lot of money too doing the same thing......unless you have a conscious, in which case sell your soul for money may not sit well with you.

At this point I think he genuinely believes his own lies as he's repeated them so much.

Anyway, who cares about this racist idiot (he went on a rant against a black rapper who defended Islam).
