Artist and musician Sumit Roy, the passenger who recorded the video of Irshad speaking, recounts the experience. “There was a fear and uneasiness in him which I couldn’t do anything about. He asked me if I am a Hindu or a Muslim. I told him that I am a Hindu. We can never understand their fear or walk in their shoes. He kept talking about this, asking what he can possibly say to his kids and his family members to assuage their fears.”
