New Delhi: Six months after the attack on French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in Paris, the incident continues to haunt Shirin Dalvi in Mumbai. The former editor of Urdu newspaper "Avadhnama" Dalvi is an indirect victim of the damage wreaked by the attack.
The first woman editor of an Urdu daily, Dalvi, had to pay a huge price for republishing the cover of the French magazine that featured a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad. Rendered jobless and ostracised by the Urdu media, Dalvi, a single mother, now lives in penury struggling to support her family. With three FIRs against her, she stares at a bleak future.
