My Perspective

"I saw shine in those eyes when they talk with me. Then I uttered my name, suddenly those eyes lost their shine and became fearful. Then only I realized something is called Islamophobia". I find pain and prejudice suffered by Muslims for the acts of few. Life is getting difficult day by day as we continue to hear more cases related to Islamophobia. The term "Islamophobia" means fear of Islam. When people without understanding something start to have a negative feeling about it, the feeling soon turns into a phobia. This word was not very popular a few decades ago but now its resonance is increasing with its effects and consequences.

I felt different, as it was like the sky was clearer than before, air was less polluted, no noise on the road as it was me directly interacting with the nature.
