Umar Khalid marks six years in Tihar Jail without trial. "How is it that I have spent most of my thirties in captivity? I wonder if this continuing injustice makes a difference to anyone? Does it move even a feather in our hallowed chambers of justice?" asks Khalid, as he narrates his day in prison to friends and family. "On 13 September, I will complete six years in prison. When I try to think of this period as a measure of time, I find it difficult to comprehend. Inside prison, days blur into each other. I have come to mark my time by the coming and going of seasons, by the changing colours of the trees outside the ward, by court dates, by waiting for the next meeting with a loved one across glass walls and iron mesh, by the small routines that make one day distinguishable from another." What does it take to carry anything written by Umar Khalid – or any other political prisoner in this country? What does that really mean when the question is simply whether someone gets to be heard? Who decides who deserves to be heard? The law? The politicians? The media? The trolls? The answer is in the basic Constitutional ethos that people do not lose their right to be heard simply because they have lost their freedom – especially when the silencing is systemic? It takes journalists willing to carry those voices. And it takes readers willing to stand behind independent journalism that carries voices of political prisoners. If you believe these voices deserve a place in the public record, become a member of The Quint. Help us keep carrying them. Read Umar Khalid's full account:

What does it feel like to realize that, in your little boy’s eyes, you are one of the most important people in the entire world? There's something special about having a young son who looks up to you as a dad. At that age, Dad can seem almost larger than life. He is the guy who can fix things, reach the high shelf, carry the heavy stuff, answer the impossible questions, and somehow make an ordinary afternoon feel like an adventure. And half the time, he probably has no idea just how closely his son is watching him. A little boy does not need his dad to be perfect. He just wants to be around him. He wants to follow him around the house, help with whatever he is doing, wear his old hat, imitate the way he talks, and eventually say, “Dad, can I come with you?” The little moments can seem insignificant when they happen, are sometimes the moments that fathers remember years later. There is also something humbling about knowing that your son is learning what it means to be a man partly by watching you. How you treat your wife, how you handle frustration, how you keep your word, how you treat strangers, how you respond when things go wrong. He may not understand all of it yet, but he is taking it in. And maybe that is one of the greatest joys of being a father. You get to watch a little boy who thinks you can do anything slowly grow into a young man who understands that you are human after all, while still carrying some of the lessons and memories you gave him along the way. One day, he may not need you to carry him anymore, but he will always remember the years when being carried by Dad made him feel like everything was going to be alright. So if your little boy looks up to you today, have you ever thought about just how much that simple admiration might mean to him?
