communal harmony

communal harmony

What a wonderful start to the day when you read news like economic boom, new employment opportunities and then a piece like “A village finds place for both a Temple and a Mosque”
After discovering debris of a hindu temple so close to a Muslim Madrasa
in a village of Malappuram district in Kerela all hope was lost for anything constructive. But kudos to their panchayat which showed more potential of handling a issue like this then the Indian government and successfully now has a temple blocks away from a Mosque. The most amazing part is that a muslim gentleman donated his land for the construction of the temple. You can read the complete news at the IndianExpress site.
This only goes to show that HIndu or Muslim, people want to live in harmony and peace together. We all have enough troubles of our own in this fast paced life but somehow a few of us fall prey to some bad political elements. We should all find hope in events like these.
Finally some fine group of people who understand what it truly means to be religious. These people showed a fine example for the nation. Not only they deserve our sincere applause but we should all learn a simple yet crucial lesson of communal harmony!
Jaago Bharat
