Aniba Junaid

While the country remains occupied in critical conversations on Shaheen Bagh, travel bans on comedians, and the conquest of Delhi in this election season, what remains unspoken of, is the challenge of detention camps which India will soon find itself into, if the government of the day decides to hit the hammer on the nail. The ‘Chowkidaar’ lead government claiming to protect the Indian subcontinent from ‘infiltrators’ may actually be offering a thorned rose instead of a lotus. While the Indian democracy and the economy is gasping for breath, the distress caused in attempts to hold on to one’s citizenship has made the international community take notice and witness India move towards a dead end.
