Two youngsters from Lucknow University are setting examples of harmony in the light of religious intolerance. The youngsters named Sahaduddin Ahmed alias Sameer and his friend Abdul Kalim are doing something peculiar this Navratri. The youngsters are observing fast this festive season! They observed fast on the first day of the nine day long festival, and will also be observing fast on the last day of Navratri.

This comes as a fresh bout of positivity in the time when people are bringing in unnecessary communal clashes, and when people are killing each other on mere suspicion. The Lucknow University students not only observed fast, but they also distributed fruits to other students to be consumed during the fasting period. They also recited Durga Chalisa and performed Arti to mark the auspicious festival of Navratri.

Sameer believes that the religious barriers should not come in between, if Hindus and Muslims celebrate and stay with each other in peace and harmony there would never have been a Dadri. Sameer also mentions that where he stays all the Hindu festivities starts from his home, be it Holi or Diwali in Ghazipur.

Sameer has also planned beforehand for Diwali, he looks forward to bring smiles and happiness into lives of people who cannot for any reason light up their homes with Diyas on Diwali this year. If is commendable that both the youngsters took such a unique way to spread the message of peace and harmony.  (ALSO READ:Muslims offer aarti in Ganesh Festival, Hindus join in Qawwali!
