‘No Ramzan without Ram’: Hindus shower flowers outside Jaipur Eidgah in Eid gesture of unity
Jaipur: In a display of communal harmony, members of the Hindu community showered flowers on Muslims offering prayers at an Eidgah in Rajasthan’s capital during Eid celebrations, The Indian Express reported on Sunday.
The initiative was organised under the banner of the Hindu-Muslim Ekta Samiti, with the aim of promoting brotherhood and unity. Thousands of people had gathered at the Eidgah from early morning to offer prayers, with the atmosphere remaining peaceful and celebratory.
“Eid Mubarak to everyone. Festivals are about peace and harmony. This spirit should remain intact across India, including Rajasthan. Some people try to create divisions, but that is wrong. There is no Ramadan without Ram, and there is no Diwali without Eid. We are all one and belong to the same family,” TIE quoted Rajesh Kumar Sharma, a member of the Hindu-Muslim Ekta Samiti as saying.
Mufti Amjad, Imam of Jaipur’s Jama Masjid, welcomed the initiative. “Amid so much negative news, such gestures give people hope for a better world,” he said, highlighting the importance of unity between communities.
Such gestures of mutual respect have been seen during other festivals as well. Members of the Muslim community in Jaipur have also participated in Hindu festivals such as Ram Navami, Holi and Diwali by extending greetings and showering flowers, helping strengthen social harmony and trust in the city.
