Lyrics :

MANKIND HAS ITS WAY 

LATE AT NIGHT, AS IT MIGHT
I TIP TOE TO YOUR DOOR
LISTENING TO THIS OLD GUITAR
THERE ARE BIRDS SOMEWHERE OUT
AND YOUR FINGERS TO REACH MY HEART

ALL KIND OF TUNES YOU WHISPER
CAUSE YOU’VE GOT THEM ALL
THOSE INFLECTIONS IN YOUR VOICE
LIGHTING UP DEEP INSIDE
DREAM-TRAVELS TO FREE MY MIND

“BE AS YOU ARE”, YOU OFTEN SAY
AS WE SMILE STARVING FOR IT
CAUSE OUR FREEDOM MADE OUT OF WAR
JUST KNOWS HOW LOVE RESISTS
WAITING FOR US THROUGH ALL THESE YEARS

MANKIND HAS ITS OWN WAY
BLOOD TAKES PART OF BIRTHING
IT TAKES PART OF KILLING
MANKIND AT ITS BEGINNING

Saareban (Har Ek Baat Pe) - Kashif Naveed

In his speech at the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus, Umar Khalid has slammed those media outlets which he blamed for tarnishing his image by portraying him as a budding jihadist, who has traveled to Pakistan, and has sympathies with the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organization.

"I don't have a passport but I've come to know that I've gone twice to Pakistan," he said. "I laughed when I first saw it. If the Jaish-e-Mohammed finds out that I’m being linked with them, they may do a dharna in front of the RSS headquarters."

On Sunday night, Khalid resurfaced on the college campus with four other students, Anant Prakash Narayan, Ashutosh Kumar, Rama Naga, and Anirban Bhattacharya, who have also been slapped with sedition charges along with the JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar.

They have been accused of organizing an event to mark the third anniversary of Afzal Guru's execution and raising "anti national" slogans. The JNU row has triggered a nationwide debate on free speech, dissent, who has a monopoly over nationalism, what constitutes being an "anti-national," and when is it a crime.

Railing against the "media trial," the 28-year-old said, "They have no shame, there is no disclaimer, no apology."

Khalid called on JNU students not to get "intimidated" by the government and the media.

"You have take tangled with the wrong university. Remember, we did not let Indira Gandhi enter after the Emergency," he said. "A university which does not allow dissent becomes a prison."


I Am Not A Terrorist (feat. Umar Khalid)

Me Sharabi

Our difficulty is not with regard to the ultimate; our difficulty is with regard to the beginning. Mr. Chairman, therefore, I should have thought that in order to make us willing friends, in order to induce every party, every section in this country to take on to the road it would be an act of greatest statesmanship for the majority party even to make a concession to the prejudices of people who are not prepared to march together and it is for that, that I propose to make this appeal. Let us leave aside slogans, let us leave aside words which frighten people. Let us even make a concession to the prejudices of our opponents, bring them in, so that they may willingly join with us on marching upon that mad, which as I said, if we walk long enough, must necessarily lead us to unity.
