Sharjeel Imam on Jail, Politics, and the Future
Written from Tihar Jail, Sharjeel Imam’s long and deeply personal letter to journalist Aarka moves across politics, faith, history, incarceration, and the future of Muslim political thought in India. Reflecting on the anti-CAA protests, the constitutional implications of UAPA, his intellectual influences from Iqbal to Ali Shariati, and the emotional strength of his mother, Imam presents prison not merely as confinement but as a space of intense study and ideological reflection.
