Have you ever found yourself in a dangerous situation where you feared for your life, when you didn't know whether you’d make it out of there alive? My name is Insiyah Vahanvaty and I recently had one such terrifying experience, wherein I was attacked by a mob in New Delhi’s Khan Market in broad daylight! After this experience, a lot of people reached out to me, to share their own stories…. and the more people I spoke to, the more I realised that these incidents are more common than we know. Almost everyone has a story- of something that has happened to them, or to someone they know. There are so many of these incidents, most of which go unreported and undocumented.. In each episode of Goonda Raj, I will be sharing one story coming out of this country we all call home. A story that could have just as easily come from someone like you or me. Let’s not bury these stories anymore. Write in to me at and tell me your experiences. You can also join our Facebook group and reach me there; the link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/goondaraj
