Nazia interviewed 145 Muslim households across 12 towns over a yr and used to be stunned to learn in regards to the increasing price of Islamophobia in India's dear and revolutionary colleges. The book describes how pained she used to be to find that little kids would name their Muslim classmates Pakistani, with scorn and a terrible tone, and would most continuously label them as terrorists! The book explores how kids carry the biases of their oldsters to the school rooms, in a rustic already plagued by means of communal hatred. Nazia brilliantly delineates that a kid, at an excessively smooth age, starts internalizing being a victim when they're asked questions like, "Do your mum and dad make bombs?"
