Muslims in India are living through trauma. No matter how highly placed. Micro aggressions add up.
I’m so sorry you went through a terrifying gherao.
I have kept radio silence with my Hindu buddies in India. They’ve been terribly persecuted by modi for being Muslim sympathizers.
All kinds of trumped up charges to the point where they sold their media business. We can’t even meet outside India, they’re monitored.
I really miss them.

You may recall how Arundhati Roy was hounded after her fiction novel about Kashmir. But she’s a trooper!

I invoke your name, Rehmat. May you always be protected. AMEEN. 🙏🏽
🙏🏽❣️
