The first turning point in my life occurred at LeT camp in Afghanistan 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙖, 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙆𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙢𝙞𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜.
They were young individuals with beards, but they appeared mentally fatigued and uncomfortable. They participated in our training program and were directed to retum to Kashmir after completion their training to engage in activities against the Indian forces.
As the senior member of the LeT camp, having been there for several months, I was assigned to evaluate their progress. I was unaware of the reasons for their increased human surveillance compared to other LeT activists. Due to my naturally amiable disposition, I quickly earned their trust.
At one point, when they appeared very disappointed and upset, I took the initiative to ask them to share their concerns with me. I assured them of my confidentiality and have upheld that promise to this day.
They were from Baramulla, and their parents were killed in military operations, which led to their house being completely demolished. This situation motivated them to join LeT and seek revenge against Indian forces.
Upon crossing the border into Pakistani Kashmir they were immediately detained by the border authorities and subsequently confined in an undisclosed location Pakistani security forces (whom they considered their saviours) treated them as if they were involved in terrorist activities.
They were prevented from praying five times by security forces and experienced physical torture. The security forces informed them that they were suspected of being Indian agents who had crossed the Pakistani border to engage in acts of terrorism.
They informed me that they had been detained by Indian security forces, who treated them more respectfully than Pakistani forces. They were permitted to pray five times a day. whereas Pakistani forces did not consider them as Muslims.
They also stated that joining LeT had been a serious mistake and confirmed their intention to surrender themselves to Indian security forces upon their return.
They were emotionally distressed while recounting their story, which left me utterly surprised and speechless. I expressed deep sympathy for them throughout their training and assured them that their story would remain confidential for good.
Upon completion of their training, they left the Afghan camp for Baramulla but shared an important information with me that began influencing my decision regarding whether to continue my association with LeT or to distance myself from them.
They told me that "𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙙, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙩 𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙆𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙢𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥𝙨. 𝙒𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧."

@talk2anuradha Reservation provides access, not exemptions from competence. Sunita Williams succeeded on merit—just like any Indian astronaut would, reservation or not.
Stop using “merit” as a smokescreen for your caste bias.
The clock has stopped ticking. The Titan passes away. #RatanTata was a beacon of integrity, ethical leadership and philanthropy, who has imprinted an indelible mark on the world of business and beyond. He will forever soar high in our memories. R.I.P
