This is a photograph from Burhanpur, a historic town in South Western part of Madhya Pradesh.
A group of local Hindus went to the Jama Masjid and wished Muslims 'Eid Mubarak'.
They offered 'sherbet' to Muslims who came to offer the special prayers on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Now, these are gestures we witness all over India but not every such incident is mentioned. Muslims offer sherbet to 'Kanwariyas'. Sikhs, Christians too do join festivities of other communities.
The members of the Hindu Seva Samiti offered 400 lites of sherbet to Muslims at the Jama Masjid near Lal Bagh in the town. The office-bearer, Rakesh Chauksey, said that they celebrate Hindu festivals and speak for Hindus' rights but also join people belonging to other communities in celebrating their events.

[Harmony exists all around us but is often ignored. Instead, stories of hate, discord and communalism get spread easily.
There are a million examples in our daily lives across India but they don't get promoted, hence, news of hate and discord gets heard more. Let's change it, now.
