I wrote an important piece for @The_NewArab on the current genocide of Muslims in India. "The harsh reality remains that India has never been a nation that is 'post' Partition, and the riots, religious feuding and dismantling of a country which has never ceased is proof enough."
The New Arab@The_NewArab

Over-romanticising one's heritage has a number of pitfalls, not least trying to reconcile past feats with present persecution. For @AnishaMansuri, this process of identity has been made harder by an ever-shrinking public space for Indian Muslims ⬇ english.alaraby.co.uk/features/disap…

"On the surface, identification schemes are presented to us as a means of protection and security, but in reality, it will only infringe on the freedoms of minorities who are already vulnerable to policing powers." Read my latest piece for @The_NewArab! newarab.com/opinion/id-car…

"Politics aside, an Asian Prime Minister is something that our grandparents would never have imagined" – I dunno man, my grandma was a socialist and lifelong antiracist who warned about the dangers of individual advancement without collective justice!

"For many of us, we're still grasping for answers at how centuries' worth of female shame & stigma can be undone, while our homes are still heavy with grief & trauma of femicide" @AnishaMansuri on the need to speak louder for "honour killing" victims: english.alaraby.co.uk/opinion/we-nee…

From the UK to Pakistan to the UAE, women in our communities are often forced to chose between freedom and survival, and we have a duty to fight for those whose name will never make headlines, writes Anisha Mansuri ⬇ english.alaraby.co.uk/opinion/we-nee…

I wrote a feature for @The_NewArab What should be joy: Britain's first minority Prime Minister? "These contenders have mastered the art of controlling each facet of their racial identity, whilst awaiting the right political moment to lean into a system they contest others for."
The New Arab@The_NewArab

Boris Johnson's demise has brought forth the most diverse leadership contest in UK political history. But behind the façade of masked identities lies the reality that these candidates used their ethnicities as a tactical shield, writes @AnishaMansuri ⬇️ english.alaraby.co.uk/features/what-…

@AnishaMansuri @The_NewArab What an incredibly moving piece. Thank you for writing this, and putting into words the fear so many of us Indian Muslims in the diaspora are feeling right now.
