18-year-old Anam Khan has become a “zinda lash” since the death of her brother, Shaban, three years ago. She hardly speaks and when she does, it is to complain of nightmares. Her 24-year-old brother died of a gunshot wound in the sectarian violence that broke out in northeast Delhi on February 23 onward and raged on for four days, leaving 53 dead and nearly 700 injured. Shaban, who had been a welder by profession had gone out to get a welding machine in the Chand Bagh area on February 24 when he was shot in the leg. He was admitted to Guru Teg Bahadur hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
