Othering based on ethnicity and religion is universal.

It’s time to rise above labels and choose dignity, justice, and collective humanity.

One of the most enduring forms of discrimination against Black people in Pakistan is not always loud or violent, it is silence.

The Shaidi (Sheedi) community, Pakistanis of African ancestry, has lived in this region for centuries but still missing from Pakistan’s textual history.
