Owaisi's Fearful Silence on Family Lineage and History

The person, like Owaisi, who pretends to be fearless yet remains silent when asked about family lineage and roots while lecturing and mocking others' history, heritage, and culture. Several notable Indian Muslims also still keep their family histories a secret from the general public. Gulam Nabi Azad, a former leader of the Congress, recently acknowledged this.

However, Owaisi continues to be ashamed of their own past and family history, or perhaps they have a terrible, dark chapter to share. The dark chapters of Hindu women being kidnapped and families being forced to choose between converting to Islam or dying on the knife's edge have marred our Indian history in the last thousand years.

Imagine the suffering of such woman and families who have gone through this phase before they passed away; they were born as Hindu but were forced to end in Islam, a decision that they were unable to pass on to their children.  Perhaps generations have passed in quiet, yet they must still be waiting for their descendants to eventually recognize them in order to free their spirits from this unrelieved weight.  

The stories of Hyderabad's old city residential neighborhoods still reverberate today, especially those that once housed thousands of Hindu women at harems institutionalized by the Qutub Shahi and Asaf Jahi kingdoms, but the current generation unaware of these dark chapters.

Going back to this tragic and dark chapter is always heartbreaking, because the aggressor of the time claimed to be superior, and the victim is still uninformed.
