Pain is infectious.

Wonder how many times we have shed our tears off of at the misery of the other? Wonder how it makes our blood boil looking at the gross injustice popping upon our news feed daily in an amount which rather makes us guilty of our own not so bad existence? To garnish these lowly human emotions instigated through sufficient information overload we have this innate feeling of having no control over what’s happening to who, akin to us or not. Do you not get into this rut? The rut of misery showering upon you wherever you look at. Does it seem ideal? Catching upon the infection and tormenting yourself through the disgraced state humanity has put itself in.

Standing with Indian Muslims - SAY OUR NAMES

A week back, I sat on my chair to write upon caste and rape realities in India. It was a time where the case struck amongst a vast majority and erupted protests all over the nation.

The thing is, I couldn’t fathom how one may walk on the path of rectification of this cruelty after it has taken us by its throat. Our outrage against it comes off as a squeak while the monster keeps us pinned to the wall. I’d come across call for ‘justice’ for Manisha only to sigh at the fact that we’re asking justice for her from a world that failed her. I’ll talk about how this monster is so much bigger than us but first, let’s look into the dynamics of its coverage. Morbidity of this alleged caste rape surfaced our timelines and yet again gave us another chance to get rid of our collective guilt by showing support that mixed so well with the public fervor. We looked at it horrified with disgust ...
