welcome to Maktoob podcast, covering human rights, minority exclusion and everything newsworthy. Our incisive analyses and editorial interventions have created a significant impact on the ground, yet our endeavor to resist erasure and to nourish a critical engagement with our world remains challenging.

Scholar in prison
Jenny Rowena, the wife of jailed Delhi University professor Hany Babu, laments the situation of prisons in India and accuses that, as a society, we failed to have a social ethos that never undermines prisoners’ rights.
While talking to Maktoob‘s Shaheen Abdulla, she emphasized that medical negligence in prisons has led to serious conditions for Babu, who is booked under UAPA in the Elgar Parishad Bhima Koregaon case. Independent forensic reports found that Babu’s laptop was hacked to plant incriminating evidence.

Unflinching
For Safoora Zargar, a Muslim student leader, hardly a day goes by without online abuse from India’s right-wing trolls for her dissent against Modi’s Hindutva regime. But none of it could silence her from asking difficult questions to the establishment.
Zargar speaks to Maktoob (https://maktoobmedia.com/) about the traumatising chronicle of hate that goes unchecked in India against Muslim women.

A besieged funeral
Syed Ali Shah Geelani wanted himself buried at Mazar E Shuhada — Martyrs’ graveyard. But even after his soul departed, he remained a ‘security threat’ to New Delhi. Geelani’s ‘will’ was abrogated as were the rights of Kashmir on that night.
The demise of Kashmir’s tallest separatist leader, SAS Geelani, on the night of 01 September immediately became a political crisis. India raced to bury him in the dead of the night to stifle anti-India protest while Pakistan announced ‘official mourning’.
But amidst the chaos, Naseem Geelani, son of SAS Geelani, struggled to keep it together.
