On unending attacks:

1)These scattered incidents of our dehumanisation shouldn't be seen in vaccum, as isolated incidents. This is in fact a clear design enabling highly radicalised Hindu society to strip off Muslims (with state support) of their dignity whenever they feel like.
2)That is fulfilling the main aim of the genocidal CAA+NRC project, which was in my opinion, an attempt to reduce us to something that isn't human, deserving no human rights. We anyway weren't getting the privileges of citizenship, eg: security, equality before law, etc.
3)Therefore, instead of seeing these attacks individually, we need to challenge the premise that is enabling it everywhere. The premise, I STRONGLY believe is the consent of Hindu society, which has accepted dehumanisation of Muslims.
4)The govt in power knows they're not going to lose any votes for punishing Muslims. Hence, it is happening. Hindu messiahs are silently watching as vultures. The allies we supposedly had (imposed upon us) are nowhere to be seen now.
5) They always out-do themselves as enablers. I was hoping at least, even if just for the sake of symbolism, they'd start of Not In My Name campaign which wouldn't have yielded anything anyway but even that is not done. What is it if not consent?!
6) That said, we Muslims need to pull our socks, resume from where we left, though this time with real allies if they're any. If we're not ready yet, let us see all these attacks as a personal attack. We need to make this personal. The sense of belonging mustn't die.
7) What NRC+CAA could do is already being done!!
