Growing Islamophobia in India is worrisome : Emirati royal Sheikha Hend Al Qassimi

#ThePrintUninterrupted
Emirati royal Sheikha Hend Al Qassimi burst onto social media in the last fortnight tweeting her distress at the growing Islamophobia in India and hate speeches by Indians in the Gulf, following her tweets up with articles in the Gulf press. Here, in an interview with ThePrint's National Affairs editor Jyoti Malhotra, the Sheikha talks about how she has grown up around soft-spoken Indians, how her uncle, a royal in the Sharjah royal family, moved to India after he retired and passed away there, and why today's Hindus should not take revenge against the sins of Muslim invaders in the past. She admitted she met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, but added that she had a cup of tea with former PM Deve Gowda and is a fan of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the self-help guru.
