Mahsa Amini,Ghazale Chelavi,Hanane Kia were shot by Iranian morality Police in the protests.The women and men protesting in Iran at the moment are not against Islam.They are against the unjust attitude of the patriarchal system that oppresses women by implementing rules on what they choose to wear..If all Iranian women wanted to wear hijab,they would all wear it.They were being MADE to and that is what's wrong with the system.Someone rightly pointed out, women fighting against the forced imposition of hijab are as brave as the women fighting for their right to wear it in India.Religious People need to take their religious goggles off and acknowledge that women are suppressed everywhere.Irani people are as fed up with their government and their Police and judicial system as we are with ours.I wouldn't trust what the government or the police say so easily...

…My City Hyderabad
Same stories in books
Same thoughts I read time again
Missing myself
Those old lanes
Those dim lit windows above
My city glows
Rickshaw-puller leads
My thought to its destination
In city lanes
High minarets rise
Call of muazzin rings the city
Some bells too
Domes lit on Eid
Windows lit on Diwali
Welcomes Santa Claus
Drank Irani chai
Haleems and Briyani for lunch
Dinner at Medina
Hyder to Sikandar
The twin city echoes the diversity
Deccan at heart
Far from here
Lives my mother, my family awaits
Net call
Call that recalls
My memories on every visit
Sometimes in tears
Qutubs shahs to Nizams
Rich past and subtle digital future binds
My city Hyderabad
