Freedom?

The wind accompanies and cry along as my heart sinks and my hopes too. My armour broken by climbing on the verge of hopelessness. 

In a traditional way or with the patriotic feeling.

The passionate word, 'azaadi' echoes and that would perhaps, most of us did.

But are we really?

Despite India being home to 200 million muslims. The largest religious minority. They are under the traps of Islamophobia throughout the 20th century.

How?

According to Wikipedia,

" Most incidents have occurred in the northern and western states of India, whereas communalist sentiment in the south is less pronounced. Among the largest incidents were Great Calcutta killings in 1946, Bihar and Garmukhteshwar in 1946 after Noakhali riot in East Bengal, the massacre of Muslims in Jammu in 1947, large-scale killing of Muslims following the Operation Polo in Hyderabad, anti-Muslim riots in Kolkata in the aftermath of 1950 Barisal Riots and 1964 East-Pakistan riots, 1969 Gujarat riots, 1984 Bhiwandi riot, 1985 Gujarat riots, 1989 Bhagalpur riots, Bombay riots, Nellie in 1983, Gujarat riots in 2002 and 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots. "

During cow related violence 28 were killed and 24 were muslims. Since 2010, around 86% or 84% of those killed were muslims. 97% attacks reported after 2014. Now, these attacks includes gang-rape, murder, harrasment, mob lynching, assaults.

And welcome to CAB or CAA protest which occured after CAA act ( criteria to exclude muslims ) on 12, Dec, 2019. The gesture provoked a widespread national and overseas ongoing protests against the act.

Students at Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia alleged brutal suppression by the police. The protests have led to the deaths of several protesters, injuries to protesters damage to public and private property, the custody of hundreds of people.

So, are we really independent (azaad) in an "independent India"?
