How Shaheen Bagh became the idea of India
Live MintNot long ago, before the pandemic took over our lives, the nation was shaken by perhaps the most powerful popular movement in recent memory. Shaheen Bagh And The Idea Of India, edited by journalist Seema Mustafa, is a thoughtfully curated anthology of writings and photographs that document the origins, scope and continuing legacy of the movement. The second book, Shaheen Bagh: From A Protest To A Movement by journalists Ziya Us Salam and Uzma Ausaf, coming out later this month, has a similar purpose—of understanding the value of the movement in India’s polity and social life. But within days the name came to signify much more than a geographical site: Shaheen Bagh became a metonym for the democratic ideals of the Indian nation. The principles of equality and liberty that our founding fathers and mothers fought for came alive on the streets and alleys of India, thanks to the women of Shaheen Bagh, and others around the country.
