VARANASI: While celebrating Diwali, a group of Muslim women sang in praise of Lord Rama and performed aarti at Vishal Bharat Sansthan in Lamahi in Varanasi on Sunday.
They sang, "Ayodhya hai humare jiyaratgah ka naam, Rahate hain wahan Imam-e-Hind Shri Ram", (Ayodhya is the name of our pilgrimage, where lives Imam of Hind Shri Ram)".
The group leader and president of Muslim Mahila Foundation Nazneen Ansari believes in cultural and social amalgamation of Hindus and Muslims through such events. "Shri Ram is our ancestor. We can change our name and religion, but how we can change our ancestor," she wondered adding, "Singing in praise of Lord Ram not only bridges the gap between Hindus and Muslms, but also reflects the generosity of Islam."
