when the mogels came from persia to north india they saw the story telling and thought it was a beautiful art form. they were not engaged with the story but saw the beauty in the footwork and hand movement. they brought the dancers into their courts. they were a form of entertainment. so, i want you to put your imagination caps on. we will go from the forest into a beautiful mogel palace. there are velvet carpets and peacocks walking around. there are beautiful paintings and everyone all of you, the audience have come to enjoy the court and the king sits on his thrown in the corner twirling his mustache and he called for his dancers and they come to the room. you are here to be entertained by them. this is called taught. taught is a highly stylized tuning of the mind and body together. you will see very fast turns ending in sharp stances and things with our eyes and eye brows and our neck, our hands. and you will also hear a language, which you might have heard. this is the language of our dance. it tells us what to do with our feet and our bodies and there is a lot of mask going on. you

to be in a position where the economy is dominated by eight europe the united states or north america china and india. many don't have to go very four before you have two economic giants. one of the challenges to handle the global issues the relative size is moving fast but 3.8 billion people not quite close to 60% of the world population. if we stay on the trajectory we are on know this pattern is convergent with the absolute amount of growth in the global economy with the tripling or quadrupling of the economy. what happens in a a shia's we think of challenging global issues with all kinds of problems relating to natural resources, the environment, climate change, are starting to be internalize because there is such an important part of the incremental pressure through prices and consumption and to grow, they start to realize, this is a new, addressing the issues is not so global for them but a question of long-term growth strategy and success to complete the process of marching to high technology. what that means, i don't think we have time to think about but changes the incentive structure of the

global economy is dominated by poor economies, europe taken together, the united states or north america, china and india. and then you have to go very much past that the sides you have two economies is nothing gets in the way. so i think one of the challenges sort of handling these global issues is that the relative size of the entities is changing very fast, sort of like a moving target. now back to asia. asia's 3.8 billion people is not quite but close to 60% of the worlds population. if we stay on approximately this trajectory that we are on now, this pattern of convergence, they will account for some very large fraction of the growth in the global economy. the absolute amount of growth is tripling or quadrupling. and what is happening in asia is what we think of as global issues, challenging global issues whether all kinds of problems relating to natural resources, the environment, climate changes and so on, are starting to be internalized in the big countries like china, because there's such an important part of the incremental pressure, you know, prices, consumption, and through growth, that they

for more than 25 years, beginning in 1983, a civil war raged in the north and east of the tropical island nation off southern indiamilitant members of the tamil minority, the so-called "tamil tigers," fought a guerrilla war for independence against a government run by the sinhalese majority. the tigers were accused of dozens of suicide bombings in the capital, colombo, during the 1990s, and human rights groups reported atrocities by both sides during the conflict. the u.n. has reported at least 40,000 civilians-- more than half the toll for the entire war-- died in the final months of the fighting in late 2008 and 2009. now, britain's independent television news has charged that sri lankan government forces herded thousands of tamil civilians into a "no fire zone" and then opened fire on them. jon snow narrated the i.t.n. documentary, "sri lanka's killing fields." >> there were between 300,000 and 4,000 people living here. satellite and drone footage meant the u.n. and other powers knew a great deal about what went on throughout the war in the no-fire zone. the u.n. monitored what happened at their headquarters. w

india's covert action in afghanistan, the opening of consulates, or "nests of spies." this is what they view is going on northf their border. it is kind of defensive. their strategy. in their mind, they are not the bad guys. they are protecting themselves. by using these surrogates. there has been a lot written on that. another element that has not been as much written about, is disappointment with the u.s. lack of faith in our reliability. everyone will tell you about all the negative things that happened when we lost interest in afghanistan and pakistan when the russians were driven out. that is well known. another episode that is not as well-known, i remember well because i was involved. i witnessed it myself. it happened in 2005. everybody is thinking, what happened then? that should have disappointed anybody or promoted a lack of faith in us. it was when nato was given command for operations in afghanistan. there was a lot of afghans this said it was the beginning of the end. the americans are not going to stick it out. the fact that the americans have placed nato as the head of the military effort, it i

you know, india's covert action in afghanistan, the opening of consulates, to borrow a phrase, nests of spies -- [laughter] so this is what they view is going on north of their border so it's kind of defensive their strategy. in their mind, they are not the bad guys, just protecting themselves or afghanistan by using these surrogates. now, there's been a lot written on that. i think that another almost not as much written about although it's certainly not unknown, but it's disappointment with the u.s. and lack much faith in our reliability. everybody tells you what happens when he lost interest in afghanistan and pakistan when the russians were driven out, and so that's well known, but another, you know, episode not as well known, and, you know, i remember it well because, you know, i was involved during that period, and i witnessed this myself, but it happened in twaif, and everybody in the audience is thinking 2005, what happened in 2005? that should have disappointed anybody or promoted lack of faith in us. well, it was when nato was given command for operations in afghanistan, and, you know, there's a lot of afghans that said, you know, that's t

political parties and figures, india's culbert action the opening of consulates to borrow a phrase from the ayatollah khomeini spy is so this is what they view is going on northe actually, their strategy. they don't mind. they are not the bad guys. they are just protecting themselves or protecting afghanistan by using the surrogates. i would -- there's been a lot written on that. i think that another element that hasn't been as much written about certainly not known i was a disappointment with the u.s. and lack of faith in liability. everybody will tell you about the negative things that happened when we lost interest in afghanistan and pakistan when the russians were driven out. and so that is well known. but another episode that isn't as well-known, and i remember it well because i was involved in the period, and i witnessed this myself but it happened in 2005 and a devotee of the audience is thinking 2005, what happened in 2005 that should have disappointed anybody or promoted lack of faith in us well, it is when nato was given command for operations in afghanistan and they said that is the beginning of the end. the americans are not going to stick it out.
