Diary entry of a Chakrobarty Kolkata, Circa 1947 India is about to get independence and I am happy beyond measure. I want to celebrate it with my friend Hussain, who hates the British even more than me. But just as I was about to reach his house, a mob wielding swords was coming along massacring people. I ran home to find Hussain, killing my family members with sword in hand, how could it happen we were best friends? Diary entry of a Kashmiri Pundit, Kashmir Circa 1990 The hard liners have asked us to leave Kashmir or convert, this cannot be happening. I reached my friend Salims house for shelter from the rampaging mob. I said, Salim save me Salim said, Havent I told you so many times that my religion is the best one, I asked you to convert so many times but you dont listen, dont look up to me now, you deserve it Diary entry of a Smith, Belgium, Circa 2015 I cannot believe this is happening, the very same group of refugees for whom I fought for, in regards to their right to asylum in Belgium and helped them settle in my locality. They were running away from persecution in Iraq and I wanted to offer them better life away from a draconian law. Now they have taken over my locality and declared it a Sharia zone, my daughter was molested yesterday and I am being forced to leave my place, this cannot be happening what made them change. Diary of a Banerjee, Bengal Circa 2020 I was such a loyal TMC supporter, I had helped these poor Bangladeshi immigrants settle in the city. I had given speeches on how deep inside we are all Bengali. How could I have overlooked my Bengali brethren and befriend some Hindi Bhashi Delhiwala. But I am being made to leave my own house and those same Delhiwalas are providing me shelter. Oh my great Bengal, where did we go wrong, we had been such liberals all along. Diary of a Bajpai, UP 2030 ........................ Diary of a Mishra, Bihar 2035 .........................
