​

In my senior college, I wanted to major in Political Science. But one of the Pol Sc professors would come to class and speak badly about Muslims, about they having brought the country to ruin. I was the only Muslim in class and none of the students questioned the teacher. I decided I could not bear to be in that class for all six lectures in the final year so decided to opt for Economics instead.

​

Before they might have felt guilt and shame, now it is considered completely normal to question a certain identity. You are expected to not feel bad about it. I am blamed for my own discrimination.

Only Muslim

In my Senior college, I was the only Muslim. Everyone identified me as a Muslim only. I would sit on the first bench. So no one would share that bench or sit on the bench behind me.

​

Thoda bahot rehta hai Muslim non Muslim ka. India Pak match me ek colleague said if Pak wins Mumbra me bomb phootega. (There is a bit of the Muslim-non-Muslim thing. During the India-Pak match a colleague said, if Pak wins then bombs will burst in celebration in Mumbra) Some people are like this. Not everyone.
