Kashmiris Face Discrimination in Delhi After Blast
Imagine there was a big accident, like a car crash.
After the crash, people who looked or acted a little bit like someone involved in the crash started getting mean looks and rude questions from others, even though they had nothing to do with it.
That's what happened to people from Kashmir living in Delhi.
After a blast happened, some people started blaming or acting suspicious of Kashmiris just because they are from Kashmir.
This made Kashmiris feel sad, isolated, and scared, like they were being judged for something they didn't do.
Kashmiri residents in Delhi experienced discrimination following a blast near the Red Fort.
Journalist Anzal reported feeling isolated and politically charged due to his Kashmiri identity.
Colleagues made remarks and asked questions that implied a collective Kashmiri responsibility for the blast.
The discrimination was subtle, involving awkward silences and invisible social barriers.
News channels and social media engaged in speculation about a 'Kashmir connection' before official links were established.
