Ramadan In India
Ramadan In India: A Hindu auto-rickshaw driver in New Delhi is giving free rides to Muslims observing fast in the holy month of Ramazan.
“I just thought that it’s been quite hot during these days and if I could be of any help to them, I will also earn some blessings. This is all I can do because I earn my living by driving an auto-rickshaw. This is my contribution from whatever profits I earn,” Prahalad told news sources.
He thinks his gesture will help bring the communities closer and “something good will come out of it”.
Prahalad, who is offering his services since the beginning of Ramazan says he has given free rides around 8 to people. “Once i refused to take money from them, they say that they will pray for me. That brings peace to my heart,” he said during an interview with the website.
According to report, he is often spotted outside the Green Park metro station in the Indian capital.
Growing intolerance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been a cause of concern in India where minorities have come under attack from extremist Hindu elements. Incidents of Hindu vigilantes torturing people belonging to Muslim and Dalit communities have been on the rise during the last few years.
The auto-rickshaw driver has been commended on social media for setting a good example.
Northern India, like Pakistan, is in the grip of a heat wave, with temperatures reaching 47C. Prahalad has set another example by offering free rides to Muslims who are observing fast in the month of Ramadan. Prahalad said, “I just thought that it’s been quite hot during these days and if I could be of any help to them I will also earn some blessings. This is all I can do because I earn my living by driving an auto-rickshaw. This is my contribution from whatever profits I earn.”
While in another event a Muslim in Bihar selected humanity over religious customs. The said Muslim broke his Ramazan fast for donating blood to an eight-year-old Hindu thalassaemic boy and saved his life.
