Botherhood In Jail: Muslim Inmates Observe Fast On Navratri, Hindus Partake In Roza For Ramzan

Agra
In a display of communal harmony and brotherhood, some Muslim inmates at the Central Jail here joined their Hindu brethren to fast on Navratri a gesture reciprocated by a few Hindu prisoners who observed roza during Ramzan. Chaitra Navratri, the nine-day Hindu celebration of the triumph of good over evil, started on March 22 while the Muslim holy month of Ramzan began the following day.
Radha Krishna Mishra, the deputy inspector general in-charge at Central Jail, Muslim inmates are observing fast for Navratri and also taking part in bhajan (devotional songs) being organised at the temple on the premises. Pointing to the Hindu inmates observing roza, Mishra said, It is a good concept where inmates from both the religions are generating a message of Hindu-Muslim unity. In a video released by the jail authorities, Naushad, an inmate, shared his views on fasting during Navratri.
