Samina Sheikh Yasim and Zarina Sheikh Yasim live in one of Mumbai’s many chawls. ~So, when Samina and Zarina said they wanted to study more, go to college after school, the family ran into the cleric.~Samina is a student of BSc at Mumbai’s prestigious St Xavier’s College and Zarina Sheikh Yasim is studying commerce at Maharashtra College. They both want to become professors.~There are 20 families living in their building in a mostly Muslim neighbourhood of Madanpura. And each of the 20 establishments is quite tiny, just enough for four humans to eat and sleep.~One day, he found Samina with her head buried in a book, the physics course book, and gave her one tight slap. I should not be studying in the passage, he told me, said Samina.~As my father is a simple peace loving person and mother a housewife they started pressuring us to drop out, Samina said~
