My experience as a only muslim student in class.
Well its been long since these things happened. So im sharing some of my experiences.
Things about me are that im not socially extrovert and not good at making friends. And had only a handful of of them were good.
So starting with my school life it was good until 4th class like i had 2-3 friends who i would talk or play with.
One day during break when i was doing my homework in break one of the student in the class came to me and asked
“Tu muslim hai na?”
I replied yea what about it?
He then asked that why do you live in India?
Like what even should I have answered him. He then proceed telling me that aren’t I a pakistani like dude wtf I was born here my 5 generations of family lived in the same house of my town.
Then came cricket. I don’t understand cricket guys idk what is a over like it never felt interesting.
Then one time our country beat Pakistan as always and next day the other kid’s friend told me that my team lost?
Like i didn’t even had idea that a match was there and I wasn’t allowed to watch TV in the first place. Then I asked him what’s this about he said about the match. Like what do I even say to him now.
These type of incidents occurred till Covid and after lockdown came the social media era.
Now another thing about me is that I feel cold even at normal temperature so i got a habit of wearing sweater or jackets when I would go to my coaching.
Around summer the temperature was a bit high so I thought of taking off. At that time there were some students in class sitting in back and i was sitting near window in front and while I was taking my jacket off I overheard a guy making a joke that
“Cover le lo bhai ye jacket utar raha hai ab fat jayega”
Like i knew what he meant. Couldn’t say anything, do anything, except let it go.
These were what you would call tip of iceberg. Ive had worse experiences. Don’t even want to share them.
My best friends I made are not like this and I thank god for it.
Thank you for reading this till here. Hope you have a good day brother/sister.
