I've been living abroad for years now.
As an Indian living overseas, my passport has always felt like more than just a travel document.
It's the one thing that represents my identity and my connection to home.
So when I hear that a passport isn't considered proof of citizenship, it genuinely leaves me confused.
We've already been told that Aadhaar isn't proof of citizenship. Neither is Voter ID. PAN isn't. Driving License isn't.
Then what exactly is the one document an Indian citizen can rely on to prove their citizenship?
This isn't about politics. It's about clarity.
Every Indian deserves a simple, unambiguous answer, especially those of us living outside the country.
Iran is deep in Muharram mourning rituals ahead of Ashura tomorrow. This year's ceremonies have been shaped by the aftermath of the war, giving the themes of sacrifice, loss, resistance, martyrdom a renewed resonance.

Youm-e-Shahadat-e-Imam Hussain ؓ
afzal hai kul jahan mein gharana Hussain ka
nabiyon ka tajdaar hai nana Hussain ka
ek pal ki thi bus hukumat yazeed ki,
sadiya Hussain ki hain zamana Hussain ka
The mourning ceremonies in smaller cities are usually different, more unique and centralized
I remember growing up every Ashura day we went to a different city or village and experienced different ways of mourning for Imam Hussain a.s.
Someone lost their life, and as usual…. instead of seeking justice, self-proclaimed influencers on social media found an ‘OPPORTUNITY’ to play the game of gender discrimination.
WHAT A SHAME !!
