The most enduring image of Randall Sequeira among Adivasis in Odisha's bauxite-rich hills is a calm, bespectacled doctor on a Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle travelling between remote villages to treat the sick, writes @Ayaskant_Das Now, he's in jail article-14.com/post/-mobile-…

For many of us, including me, Najeeb was never just a missing student. We were college students then. Students with Muslim names. Students harassed day in and day out by Hindu right wing students, targeted for social media posts critical of the government and Hindutva. We were all Najeeb. Or at least we feared that we, too, could be forcibly disappeared. We survived. Najeeb’s memory cannot be allowed to fade. He was a university student in the national capital. There were clear suspects in his case. They had names. Yet no one has been held accountable. His mother, Fatima Nafees, is not just a Muslim woman from a village in Uttar Pradesh. We watched her become a leader. She led marches through the national capital. She delivered fiery speeches. She confronted the police. She is our leader. I remember the day Fatima Nafees came to our room in Ghaffar Manzil. We lived on the fourth floor, and there was no lift. She climbed the stairs, sat with us and had tea. When someone asked why she had climbed all the way to the fourth floor, she said, “I can climb mountains to demand justice.” Photo: The first page of my MA thesis, written nine years ago. And we still have no idea where our brother is.
