Unperturbed over the rise of communalism in India, Hindus of
Madhi village in Nalanda district of
Bihar has been quietly observing Muharram and managing a mosque with regular
prayers even though there is not even a single Muslim in the area. The village
is now virtually empty of Muslim residents, for they have migrated to Pakistan or
elsewhere to eke out living.
Finding nobody to take care of the mosque , Hindus came
forward and they have been managing and taking care of the Mosque believed to
be about 250 years old. There is also a tomb in front of the mosque where
people offer prayers. During Muharram, they also prepare Tazia and take out procession.
The mosque is cleaned and prayers are offered every morning
and evening. Whenever there is a problem, people go to the tomb for solution. In
Muharram, they seek intervention of holy Imams .
