ANNOUNCEMENTDiwali for peace
Insaaniyat invites you to honour the courage of those
who crossed the line to save their neighbours, heedless
of the communal passions raging around them. For the anonymous Muslim woman of Danilimda who saved the lives of three Hindu reporters, regardless of the danger to herself, her husband and her four young daughters. For Mumtaz of Juhapura, who sheltered a Buddhist monk from a violent, stone-throwing mob. For Sanjana and Sanjay Kedia, who carried dozens of Muslims to safety, returning time and time again to a riot-ridden area to save victims in their scooter sidecar. And for the activists of the Jan Sangharsh Manch who ensured that not a single life was lost in the largely Muslim locality of Salatnagar in Gomtipur, when 250 hutments were burned to the ground.
We shall light a lamp for them and hundreds like
them, everyday heroes who have stood their ground
for what they believe in, people whose names are
not recorded in history but who are the
makers of history. Their courage and
humanity is the true culture and tradition
of our country and the only guarantee that our children will
have a future.
