Speaking at TEDxCairo, he tells the inside story of the past two months, when everyday Egyptians showed that “the power of the people is stronger than the people in power.” (Recorded at TEDxCairo, March 2011, in Cairo, Egypt. Duration: 9:52)

Thumps up, my dear friends, Thump up!
i am heartily thanking you and all the Egyptians for showing the eternal power of people with the immortal silence of Gandhi. Knowingly or unknowingly from the soil of desert you sparked the revolutionary shock-wave, the Renaissance of Truth. This will uplift the human race into the compassionate height of universal oneness. Indeed, what you performed in the soil of desert itself is the dream of all Prophets.
