Harmony triumphs in Dadri: Hindus fund and organise wedding for Muslim family
11, Oct 2015
The village that made headlines over the lynching incident, came out and gave the perfect example of communal harmony with the wedding on Sunday
Bishada (UP): Dispelling rumours of communal tension and hatred, the Hindu community of Dadri’s Bishada village came together on Sunday to organise a wedding for the daughters of a Muslim family.
The little village — which shot into national spotlight after a Muslim man was lynched to death by an angry mob over rumours of possessing beef — was seen rife with wedding fervour, quite different from the image that is being portrayed throughout the world. From arranging food to providing lodging for the relatives and friends of the wedding party, and even contributing to the dowry of the brides, the Hindu villagers did not spare any expense to ensure that the event was a merry one.
