The Eqbal Ahmad Centre for Public Education (EACPE) seeks to foster the use of science and reason to understand nature and society and so better enable all citizens of Pakistan to participate fully in the political, social, economic, and cultural life of their society; to exercise their democratic rights and responsibilities; to value human rights, democracy and the rule of law; to promote cultural and religious diversity; to raise awareness of global issues and the natural environment; and to advance the goals of international peace and justice.
EACPE is named to honour the life and work of distinguished Pakistani academic, activist, and public intellectual, Dr. Eqbal Ahmad.
“The EACPE record is very impressive, and hopeful — a rarity these days. About the webpage (design), I don’t have anything useful to say. Have little experience that’s relevant. To me personally, the range and choice of topics is appealing and impressive. I can’t think of any useful way to improve it.”

What is wrong with cameraman? Why he is zooming/ out. He ruined all the episode actually. very irritating.
Respected Sir,
I was searching about the education situation in pakistan and fortunately I got a lecture of you in youtube. Believe me sir, I have seen a pakistani for the first time who is actually taking about peace. Otherwise in all the videos from pakistan are full of hatred about India. They are all taking about war. Sir at the end of the day we are all human and humanity should be maintained. The way you are doing your job to educate people in pakistan is mind blowing and appreciable. Wish you all best from India and from a Hindu and from a human being. Thank you sir.
A very rational and humanistic approach to solve unresolved conflicts
