/Pukr/(rhymes with cutter) is a common word in several South Asian
languages, including Urdu, Hindi, Sindhi, Gujrati, and Punjabi. Written
as پکڑ in Urdu,/pukr/means to nab, capture, snatch and seize. The
antonyms for/pukr/are to release, liberate, return. Broadly
interpreted,/pukr/is associated with siege, humiliation, home raids,
loss of liberty, and extreme family distress. Those who
perpetrate/pukr/could be cops, bullies, kidnappers, bounty hunters, and
“suppressive states,” a phrase I use in/A Legal Theory of International
Terrorism./ <https://brill.com/view/title/12040>
PUKR also serves as an acronym for Palestinians, Uighurs, Kashmiris, and
Rohingyas. These four peoples in various parts of the world are
similarly situated in terms of/pukr/, that is, subjugation and
suffering. Furthermore, these four peoples are predominantly Muslims.
Studying their shared predicament may compromise the specifics of
adversity that each population encounters, as there are varying degrees
of persecution severity. Yet the study unfolds a shared script of
cruelty containing siege, denativization substitution, and expulsion,
and the failure of nations and international institutions to find
meaningful solutions beyond selective condemnation.
