Indian journalist Jyoti Malhotra, Egyptian-born columnist Mona Eltahawy, Mike Finnerty of Britain’s Guardian newspaper, and cultural historian Christopher Cook discuss the decade we’re rapidly leaving behind, what will be consigned to history with it. One example noted by the panel can be seen here: the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, which were dynamited by the Taliban in 2001. The discussion was chaired by BBC radio and TV reporter/host Lyse Doucet. No doubt you can think of other great losses over the last ten years. Tell us below what you think the BBC should have included.
