Delhi riots aftermath: Muslims lock up homes, flee to find shelter in other parts of city, country; many are rebuffed

Firstpost  

Editor’s note: This is the first in a two-part series that examines how Muslims in and around regions near Delhi have had to significantly alter their lives following the recent riots. Earlier when we used to pass the street, somebody initiated greetings by saying ‘Salaam’ from their balconies, but now it’s vice versa and the term has conveniently changed to ‘Namaste’.” She adds, “Even if we mistakenly say ‘Salaam’, there is silence on the other side or complete ignorance.” In addition to that, she adds that she has started going to the park and sending her daughter to dance class to break stereotypes about Muslims. There are only about 20 Muslim families in a colony with 200 houses.” Shaquib’s father called him from home and told him, “Ab musalmano ko kafan bandh ke rehna padega. “So, I essentially had to pay a ‘Muslim cess’ to get a place,” he adds.
