On May 28 last year, during the month of Ramazan, writer Nazia Erum posed a question on her Facebook wall, asking how many of her friends had attended an iftar before. An overwhelming majority said no. This got her thinking and within a few days, she, along with a few like-minded friends, organised the first of many interfaith iftars. Beginning from her house in Noida, the initiative soon found chapters across India, including in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Lucknow.
