Saleem Malik lives in a two-storey house in Shiv Vihar of northeast Delhi. The riots of 2020 was not the first time he was exposed to communal violence in India.
In 2002, during the riots in Gujarat, Malik was a tour driver driving through Palitana in the state with Mexican tourists.
Between the Gujarat riots of 2002 and the Delhi riots 2020, some things have remained the same. But a lot changed, including Malik himself.
