Sambhal, Ajmer Sharif & the spreading communal virus | Humra Quraishi

5 December 2024
Human Rights Day, 10 December, is almost here but is there any relevance left to this day! Humans and their basic rights have been reduced to a nothingness of sorts. There is a genocide on, in and around Gaza, where the hapless Palestinians are so very brutally and blatantly killed by the Israeli forces. There

The haze in and around the capital city of India, New Delhi, is getting from bad to worse. Throttling lives, as the respiratory system is affected; choking and with that killing the vulnerable. Correct me if I

Communal poisoning unleashed daily by those in power | Humra Quraishi

Tell me how many more will get lynched, murdered, and slaughtered on the beef alibi! It's just too shocking and disgusting to see how the goon brigades are calling the shots. Quite obviously they have the Hindutva backing and the go-ahead nods. The situation gets just too lethal as the political cum state machinery is under the control of the Right-Wing rulers of the day.
Lynching and humiliating Muslims on the beef alibi is increasing by the day. Last week an elderly (…)

Reshaping India with disdain for humanity | Humra Quraishi

Humra Quraishi — 2024-08-31T14:33:50Z

29 August 2024 How many more homes will get bulldozed in the country? How many more abodes will get ruined and demolished and destroyed? I am of the opinion that bulldozing of homes is a barbaric rejoinder to crime, where not just the supposed or alleged or suspected culprit is punished but his or her entire clan. And in the latest case in Rajasthan's Udaipur, even the landlord's home wasn't spared! Was there any valid justification of bulldozing the landlord's home, whose tenants were (…)

What's changed after the gruesome murder and rape of the 31 year old doctor in Kolkata? Rapes and sexual assaults are continuing… one after another. In the last one week news reports of rape and sexual assault cases have come in from Uttarakhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra…Mind you, these are the reported cases. What about the hundreds of cases or incidents which go unreported!
Tell me, where are we heading in this state of complete perversion and utter anarchy, (…)

Intensifying brutalities in our everyday / Rays of Hope | Humra Quraishi

Humra Quraishi — 2024-08-17T01:56:01Z

August 14, 2024
The 31 year old lady doctor's murder and rape at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College seems so brutal that no amount of words or phrases can be adequate to describe that level of barbaric brutality … I was just reading details to the sheer emotional and mental agony her family been through.
At first they were told by the hospital authorities that she'd died by suicide but after three hours wait when they saw her battered-bruised-broken body, it got more than (…)
