(Personal) THREAD.
I feel ashamed of what my name assures me as a citizen today. I did absolutely nothing to deserve immunity over another citizen. Last night, I saw my closest friend break down because of the fear and heartbreak she feels as a Muslim today. #Delhi

She has lived in Delhi all her life, her great grandfather was a prominent freedom fighter and that means nothing today. There was a “M” next to her name on the school attendance sheet. I had to write “Hindu Brahmin” in school; I owned a privilege that she has never known.
She told me how she always had to explain being Indian strongly, just because she’s a Muslim. Her family gave this country its freedom too, you know. Today, her family has bags packed in case mobs come for them and burn their houses. This is what being a Muslim feels like. #India
