Danish Siddiqui, Najmul Hasan and Priya Ramrakha were Indian journalists who died young, covering war. Siddiqui and Hasan were Indian citizens who worked from India for the wire-service Reuters and their last mission was to cover a war in a third country. Hailing from an activist family of journalists, he chronicled through his body of work the anti-colonial and post-colonial struggles across Africa. Three days later, he joined a party of journalists to tour the war front in western Iran. As she put it, “My job is to bear witness.”Which is what Ramrakha, Hasan and Siddiqui were doing throughout their career and until the moment they were killed.
