Just as the country is seething in anger at the Dadri lynching incident where a Muslim man was lynched by a mob for allegedly possessing and consuming beef, comes a story of solidarity from Mumbai. A pregnant Muslim woman who took shelter in a temple of Lord Ganesha near Vijaynagar, Wadala was helped by Hindu women in successfully delivering a baby. Noor Jahan was waiting to be taken to Sion Hospital by her husband Ilyaz Shaikh in the early hours on Monday, October 5.

The woman was supposed to deliver in the coming four days, but went into labour. She never got into the taxi waiting for her and delivered the baby with the help of ladies in the vicinity. Noor Jahan was happy her son was born at the threshold of a holy place, and now plans to nickname the child Ganesh. The people who helped her are already calling the male child Bal Ganesh (little Ganesh) and Govinda (another name for Lord Krishna).

TV9 Marathi interviews Noor Jahan to hear about the touching story of Hindu-Muslim unity. The channel also speaks to the Hindu women residing in the chawls nearby who helped her deliver and took care of her and the baby. All the people involved have planned a grand celebration for the child with Noor Jahan and Ilyaz.
