Truly grateful to everyone who read my stories, gave feedback, corrected my errors.

Cant be grateful enough to people in Punjab who took time to speak to this strange person asking silly questions in broken Punjabi. Hope I have done justice.

May God bless Punjab & keep it safe

Kashmiri Sikh girl episode is disturbing in many ways

One gets pain of Kashmiri Sikhs. They're a tiny minority & get targeted by vested interests - state agencies, Muslim & Hindu extremists

They deserve respect for not getting weaponised against Muslims, despite pressures. 1/n
Given this context, it's not surprising that this case led to so much toxicity.

Was her marriage to a Muslim forced? Her family's version indicates it was

Should she have been married off soon after her return? No. And this decision raises more questions than it answers.

2/n
Role of police has been deeply questionable. First, allegedly acting against girl's family and then changing stance. Fact that police reports to Centre makes more suspicious.

We won't know the truth until the girl's unpressured version comes out which it may never.
3/n
