Exclusive: Activist tells of his life as one of India’s most prominent political prisoners and his opposition to the government of Narendra
"You even hear murmurs about yourself from fellow prisoners you shared meals with, calling you a terrorist behind your back. This propaganda dehumanises me in people’s eyes,” he said. “Humanity is a privilege that is not granted to people like me."
Umar Khalid's first interview since 2020.

just saw news of rahul gandhi being detained. If you think that he, in performing all of this drama, truly cares about democracy in India--or really just any of us at all--outside his own interests, then you're either ignorant or a fool.
"Wo darte hai, kis baat se darte he ye? Tamam Gola Barud ke bawajood ye darte hai. Iss baar se darte hai, ki ek din gareeb, nihatte log inse darna band kar denge." - Umar Khalid.
This man's name has been used by multiple right wing believers to defame the people in the Jantar Mantar protes. You may know him as the man who said "Bharat tere tukde tukde honge", but do you at all know who he is?
He's a PhD scholar who researched on the plight of adivasis. He's someone who doesn't even have a passport. He's also someone who NEVER said the above statement. Out of the videos sent by the dm, 3 vidoes were doctored and fake. The videos showing him saying these were FAKE. And media has circulated this perception of him so many times, that ordinary people don't even care enough to look beyond.
He's the same man who said, "We're Indians not by chance but by choice."
He protested for your rights, for people's rights even when they didn't concern him.
And if you may argue, that he might be so called 'anti national', then why has the police in 6 years not been able to file a proper chargesheet? Why? Why aren't they proving it in court? Because they can't. The only way to supress true nationalists like him, is to keep them in jail indefinitely.
I'm just wondering what would happen if he was out of jail. I'm sure he would be at this protest, and fighting for the rights of the people.
"Sarkarein ayengi jayengi par umar khalid jail mein rahega" is the best line I've heard all day lmao
One recent “point,” Bhattacharya recalled, was Khalid telling them that from what he had seen in jail, Hindi-language newspapers are how most inmates got their news. If they were running public campaigns to persuade the BJP government to release political prisoners under their regime, they should start writing in Hindi. Lahiri recalled that while English-language newspapers carried both the prosecution and defence arguments of Khalid’s year-long bail hearings in the trial court hearing the Delhi riots conspiracy case and then the Delhi High Court, the Hindi language newspapers barely reported the arguments Khalid’s lawyer Trideep Pais made in court. They, however, carried the claims made by the police in a prominent place, with headlines that made allegations sound like facts.

I often wonder, how long is this dark tunnel? Is there any light in sight yet? Am I near the end, or am I only midway through? Or has the ordeal just begun?
How do we fight against this monstrous machine of lies and falsehood? The purveyors of hate and falsehood have so many resources – money, pliant 24×7 news channels, lots of them, troll armies, and the police too. To be honest, Rohit, it makes me feel pessimistic at times. At times I also feel lonely. Lots of people far more privileged than me who were together in this fight against fascism, in the movement against CAA-NRC/NPR, today choose to remain silent when I am singled out for these lies. It makes you feel unwanted. It makes you feel a stranger in your own land. The only thing I find succour in in such moments is the realisation that none of this is personal. That my persecution and isolation is symbolic of something larger – the persecution and isolation of Muslims in India right now.
Umar Khalid, writing from prison, has provided a razor sharp indictment of how insidious fascist propaganda has become in India. He has been in jail for two years now under UAPA charges.
Umar Khalid Writes from Tihar Jail: Insights on hope, despair, and captivity's lessons from Dostoevsky's 'The House of the Dead'.
