Dawat – e-Iftiar
The changing face of our beloved country has put the minorities in a very vulnerable situation. The Muslim communities have been haunted as if they are criminals and are being lynched. Religious intolerance has been growing and we feel there is a need to respond positively to these injustices.
Therefore, we agreed to organize Dawat-e-Iftar where we would invite some of our people to partake in the meal.some100 people attended the Iftiar party. Women on the team decided to prepare the Iftiar meal and they were supported by the men folk. People of all faiths and all walks of life joined to prepare the place which has a particular seating and placing of the plates before the guests.
We solemnly followed the rubrics. To make it more meaningful a Muslim gentleman led the prayer and the first plate was sent to the mosque to be given to the poorest person.
It was a small effort to give a powerful message that we believe in a pluralistic society, we hold the human person at the core of our programs and celebrations. As women and men sat together belonging to different faiths, there was surely a bonding that took place among them.
We honor our diversity and wish to keep it intact, we are One Human community….
