We are such strange people that till it isn’t, we never seem to get affected by anything. When things happen all around, we keep thinking ke woh toh wahan ho raha hai,” she says. “But what also is really scary is the growing prejudice. When there is an encounter, I don’t know if we should be so quick to conclude who it is, and thereby create prejudice against a whole community, against people who are the biggest sufferers because probably they have nothing to do with the terrorists. They’re probably cursing the terrorists much more than you and I are. Because apart from feeling all the fear you and I feel, they also have to bear the stigma, to hang their heads in shame without having done anything,” she adds with feeling.
