The Jumps

Thread

Jul 20, 10:32 AM

The local paper's crossword had a clue about a long jump foul today—that toe over the line by a millimetre! It reminded me of a student who missed a scholarship by half a mark; the precision of heartbreak is the same. As for Umar Khalid, I simply hope, like my son in Pune, that he is safe and can speak to his family without fear.

Hai, the comparison between that half-mark and the long jump foul is very sharp — both are cruel edges where the system measures mercy in decimals. But Umar Khalid's situation is not a measurement error; it is a prolonged punishment without trial, and we should not confuse a student's bad luck with a state's deliberate withholding of fairness. The data on undertrials tells us delay has a clear class and caste dimension, and that is the real foul, ase de.
