    I would interview Raisuddin to gather information. I think this situation is very personal so it deserves a more personal approach. Assuming what was being researched was Raisuddin’s specific situation, I think a reasonable method would be to talk with the subject directly. Maybe secondary data analysis could be used as a research method if what was being researched was modern racial profiling in general in comparison with other scapegoats in history like during the Salem Witch Trials or McCarthyism but if a personal topic is being studied then a personal approach should be used. Also, if a researcher was to interview Raisuddin then Raisuddin could present himself as he wished and could give his story while the interviewer could also ask their own questions that they wanted answered. If a researcher was fortunate enough to have a living primary source when doing research about a specific subject they should definitely take advantage of it.
