The Sikh people gathered together and ready to sanitize Delhi’s Jama Masjid for the Eid al-Fitr. This touching gesture proves that raising the bar of brotherhood can help us restore peace and harmony between communities.  People are applauding and encouraging this act on social media.

Since centuries, India has shown many examples of secular existence devoid of its underlined religious tension. Hopefully, there are people who believe that religion is about love. Though we don’t get to hear of such instances every day, here is one that gives a glimmer of hope to us amid lockdown.

Some Tweets:

Discrimination on religious grounds has become one of the major issues in India whereas this gesture makes us believe in the strength of our fellow countrymen all over again. ‘United Sikhs’ ia the name of this Sikh Organization. It is a civil rights and humanitarian non-profit organization by the Sikh people for all.

Parminder Singh, one of the members of the Sikh community, who took part in this initiative, shares his view on religion with a popular news channel. As he opines, “When we walk with our holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, all the religions and their followers are the same for us. We do not discriminate on religious grounds. It is written in our holy book that we are all God’s creation. We are also sanitising the temples and churches. We have been working for the past 50-60 days.”

Get Excited!

For those who have been excited about Jama Masjid Eid, it was sanitize like every year and yet thought this year will be miserable due to lockdown, this initiative brings nothing but immense joy and hope. If we cannot put a smile on our fellow countrymen by spreading little gestures of love, what is the purpose of religion anyway? It is the core value of India marked in our constitution as well

People were found in many locations in India were helping each other amid lockdown devoid of their religious inclination. In Kashmir,500 people took shelter at Aashirwad Bhawan. Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine in Jammu served sehri and iftari to these people during the holy month of Ramadan. Even the day after super cyclone ‘Amphan’ hit West Bengal, the local residents in Howrah district didn’t close their community kitchen at the Priyonath Manna Bustee, which they have been organizing since lockdown.

We know this lockdown Eid wasn’t as exciting as every year. Atleast, Jama Masjid was being sanitize to make it a bit better. Let’s hope for a speedy recovery of our mother earth so that the next year, we all celebrate together!
