Sreekala Sivasankaran
No more insinuation
No more provocation
No more arguments
No more slapping on the face
No more pinching of the hips
No more pulling of my breasts in the street
No more spitting on the vagina
No more forced Carols
No more baptisms of captivity
Put me on medicines
Put me on ECT
Shoot me onto my chest
I am a Muslim
Purdah is my resistance
