Care Leavers in India: The Invisible Struggle for Identity and Support

The world expects us to stand alone, but who teaches us how?We don’t just want to exist—we want to live with dignity. By Hajra Bano  Hajrabano1910@gmail.com Thousands of young adults from child care institutions like orphanages and foster care systems in India exit when they reach the age of 18. The world wants us to be independent, to stand on our own two feet, but nobody knows about the invisible struggle we endure. Without a family to turn back to, without a place to call home, our path into adulthood is one of uncertainty, isolation, and struggle. Our struggles are not merely financial or material—they are struggles of identity, belonging, and survival in a world that frequently ignores us. The Identity Crisis: Who Are We? Living in an institution means growing up with a gap—a name without a past, a life without heritage. Legal Identity: A Struggle for Documents In India, all things—education, employment, even as simple as the purchase of a SIM card—are made possible through le...

Winning of Delhi Election is the Winning of the Whole Country, and Winning of Kashmir is the Winning of the Crown in the World: A Road Ahead”

Delhi shapes India's leadership and governance, while Kashmir defines its strength and unity.A strong Delhi and a stable Kashmir together ensure a powerful and united India. By Hajra Bano  Hajrabano1910@ gmail.com Just like a human body, India has Delhi at the center of its heart and Kashmir at the top like a crown. They both possess major significance, which can not be dwindled. India cannot win the hearts of the people without embracing the crown. Delhi is the north part and is the center of law and policy making, and Kashmir is the south head and the center of security. Delhi: The Political and Economic Center The Indian National Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party, and Aam Aadmi Party are four major political parties and their success in Delhi pretty much decides their power in the rest of the country. The success of the political party in power in the nation’s capital, Delhi, determines who rules the country. Because of these factors, all of India keenly waits to see who wins the...

Dream of Hope.

-
Image
  They say that dreams are meant for all, Yet tell me I should never call— Upon a wish, upon a star, For dreams like mine won’t go too far. I held my dreams so fierce, so tight, Like cotton clings to thorns at night. But now they whisper, “Let them die,” And never dare to question why. What crime is there in dreaming high? What fear hides deep within their sigh? Do they dread the heights I'll claim, Afraid they'll never know the same? I’ve fought, I’ve struggled, I have bled, Yet they would have my dreams lie dead. They say, “A woman should know her place,” Four walls—a cage she must embrace. But when the Maker shaped this land, He placed no chains upon my hands. He gave me breath, He gave me fire, The right to dream, the heart’s desire. Why then must my sky be small? Why must I kneel when others stand tall? Why cage my wings, deny my flight, And steal away my burning light? If they can lead, then so can I. If they can rise, then why must I— Be bound, be still, be told to wait,...

Secret white sheet

-
 Last night, I closed my weary eyes, Dreaming of dawn, of golden skies. A day so bright, so full of grace, Yet morning wept with a frozen face. The earth now sleeps in a shroud so white, Whispering secrets lost in night. Snow has hushed the songs once sung, A silent tale, yet to be begun. If only I could sleep so deep, Bury my wounds, my fears to keep. If only the world would turn away, Let me rest in the shade of grey. But no—this world won’t let me hide, It pulls and breaks, it won’t abide. Oh, to be snow, so cold, so free, Fading into eternity.

The Unsung Guardians: The Role of J&K Police in Nation Building

 The Unsung Guardians: The Role of J&K Police in Nation Building By Hajra Bano Hajrabano1910@gmail.com The word " police " conjures up an image in our minds—a khaki uniform, a baton in hand, a tall black boot-clad figure standing steadfast amidst chaos. But have we ever stopped to think of the human stories behind those uniforms? Especially in Jammu and Kashmir, a region that has weathered storms of conflict, natural disasters, and societal unrest for decades, the police are not just law enforcers; they are the custodians of peace, resilience, and hope. The Jammu and Kashmir Police, often working in the shadows, have time and again emerged as the frontline warriors—not just during protests or emergencies but in the larger narrative of nation-building. They are not just protectors of life and property but also healers of wounds that run deep in a land that has seen more than its share of suffering. In 2010 and 2016, the Kashmir Valley erupted in protests, paralyzing life a...

Two Decades, Two Centuries: A Generation Trapped in Time"

" While the world races to Mars, some promises lie broken amid classrooms and shattered dreams. Can we truly call this progress, or is it a betrayal of an entire generation's future?”Where Do They Belong? The 21st Century or the 18th? By HAJRA BANO  hajrabano1910@gmail.com "Time waits for no one, but what we do with time defines who we are." Twenty years — is it a short span or a lifetime? Is it enough to change someone's destiny, to transform a struggling life into a success story? Or is it merely a number that slips by unnoticed, leaving us in the same place as before? Twenty years can build empires, nurture dreams, and rewrite futures. We are in the 21st century,” people say proudly, pointing to Mars missions, AI-powered robots, and technological revolutions. But then, there’s another side of the same century—a forgotten corner that seems frozen in time, stuck somewhere in the 18th century with nothing but the same struggles repeating themselves.Have you ever ...
