Umar Khalid writes from behind the walls of Tihar. These words carry the ache of a life suspended, not by chance, but by design. In five years, the world has turned over many times: new wars, new elections, new hashtags. But for those imprisoned under draconian laws like the #uapa, time doesn’t move. It weighs down. It erases. "Five years have passed, almost. Half a decade. That’s time enough for people to complete their PhDs and look for jobs, time enough to fall in love, marry and have a baby, time enough for one’s kids to grow beyond recognition, time enough for the world to normalise the genocide in Gaza, time enough for our parents to grow old and feeble. Is it time enough for our release?" https://www.thequint.com/voices/blogs/umar-khalid-writes-from-tihar-jail-delhi-riots-case-imprisonment-5-years?fbclid=IwY2xjawKz1NVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHjsVDHLlmw0UrfnQwKsq0ism9g9fGoAMlrke54ShvITstKBZ4suKl8yLFAZK_aem_iXDRDsrhTdUOqjqW3HvTKA#read-more
