Date: 2021-09-27

WATCH: Celebrated poet, screenplay writer and socio-political commentator Javed Akhtar and journalist and contributor to national and international publications, Asad Ashraf participate in this debate moderated by Teesta Setalvad. 
Starting with the Taliban’s take-over of Afghanistan followed, and sharp responses from Indian feminists and the Muslim community, the discussion proceeds to open up the meaning of being both a Muslim and an atheist, issues of “appropriation of leadership”, the need to condemn violent and supremacist politics, be it of the Taliban or the Hindutva right wing, and the socio-economic marginalisation of Indian Muslims.
