An unusual but heartwarming Eid celebration took place this week in Chirag Nagar, Ghatkopar, India, where Hindus greeted Muslims after prayers with red roses, as reported by Hindustan Times. The initiative, led by 64-year-old Sharad Kadam, former Mumbai president of the Rashtriya Sewa Dal, was aimed at promoting communal harmony.

Kadam, joined by members of the Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti and local Muslim activist Kalubhai, wore white caps to symbolize their Hindu identity.

Kadam, aware of the area’s history of riots, emphasized the need for trust and friendship to combat divisive forces. The Muslim community, touched by the gesture, pledged to continue fostering this relationship beyond Eid, underscoring the importance of ongoing dialogue and unity.

In a similar display of solidarity, a group of Hindu men in Jaipur, Rajasthan, participated in Eid Al-Fitr celebrations by showering Muslims with flowers, further promoting communal harmony.
