Shaheen Bagh is an Idea, and Ideas are Bulletproof

Darab Farooqui wrote; 

Have you seen streets raise their heads? Have you seen wounds break into a smile? Have you seen freedom wrapped in dupattas? Have you seen an eighty-year-old princess?

The lamp that lights the center of this storm, The radiant flame is Shaheen Bagh. If you want to see its insistence, come, see it. Not the Jama masjid, see this masjid of truth.

Warm your hands with the warmth of their hearts, Measure the heights of the mountain’s spirits. Where you will find no stain in the hem, The name of that cloth is Shaheen Bagh.

Come see Lakshmibai, see Razia Sultan, See a new India emerge from the hijab, Tearing the dark, hear the chorus of appeal. Hear the nation of women, transform, rise These women sacrificed their homes Their new dwelling is Shaheen Bagh.

I read a pretty lit headline today morning while scrolling through my favorite newspaper, The Print. It read:

“Shaheen Bagh couldn’t get CAA revoked. But Gandhi’s satyagraha didn’t meet its goal either.” 

But we all know that Gandhi’s satyagraha achieved something bigger, and so did Shaheen Bagh. 

Gandhi’s satyagraha became a tale of unity, defiance and the relentless pursuit of freedom. The rest is history as we know it. Similarly, Shaheen Bagh, a Muslim dominated neighborhood in South Delhi, became the face of India’s rebellion against the discriminatory and dictatorial laws, passed by arguably the most authoritarian establishment India has seen since the Congress government of the 1970s, led by Indira Gandhi. Leading the nationwide fight against the CAA-NRC-NPR legislations, the Shaheen Bagh protest overpowered the communal poison that has slowly been creeping its way into homes, workplaces, even friendships, and familiar relations. 

Muslim women led the rebellion. Sikh farmers came from Punjab to aid their “Muslim sisters”. Christians came out in support with their crosses and their Bibles, accusing the government of blatantly discriminating against Indian Muslims. Dalit participation was thriving, led by their charismatic chief, Chandrashekhar Azad, and believe it or not, a lot of Hindus stepped out of their homes to join the revolution that was Shaheen Bagh. Despite my description of the multi-religious protest site, my point is mere this; 

Shaheen Bagh has no religion. It only has Indians, out to save their fellow Indians. 

In Hong Kong, initial protests against an anti-extradition bill turned into a large-scale violent rebellion against the puppet regime of China led by Carrie Lam. Similarly, Shaheen Bagh is no longer limited to CAA-NRC-NPR, it is about saving the constitution, and saving the largest democracy of the world. It is about Kashmir. It is about the detentions of Muslims and Dalits across the country. It is about calling out police brutality. It is about saving the idea of India. 

The uniqueness of Shaheen Bagh comes from its unity in diversity, and its ability to push the dystopian truth into the minds of those who have some kind of conscience remaining. It is this unity that is intolerable to an establishment that thrives on division, hate, and fear. It cannot risk its people defying its strategy of “keep them stupid, silly”, and Shaheen Bagh, through art, music, books, speeches, and interactions, does exactly that. 

I shall be posting another blog with pictures of the variety of modes of rebellion at Shaheen Bagh, which won both the heart and the mind. One final note. A lot of you will be engaging in some kind of sadistic celebration today. You might even go on to make yourself look like a total psychopath when you tweet, “virus has triumphed over bacteria.” That demonstrates the success of this government in poisoning our minds, in convincing us that dissent is equivalent to treachery by labeling every dissenter with the infamous tag of ‘anti-national’. To you, I quote Tocqueville, 

“A nation that asks nothing of government but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains.”

We are anti-establishment, not anti-India. Know the difference.
