Ganderbal June 28 (PTK) In an example of centuries old tradition and communal harmony, Kashmiri Muslims participated in marriage ceremony of a Kashmiri Pandit woman in Lar village of central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district.
Eyewitnesses said that the Muslim neighbours participated in the marriage ceremony of Meenu Kumari daughter of Late Pandit Mohan Lal in Lar village.
Muslims took part in every ritual there, they said adding that this is an example of age old tradition and communal harmony under which both Muslim and Pandit families have been living together, even as there have been unfavourable conditions many times.
Locals said that they have been living together for decades and share a strong bond and it is our duty to take part in happiness and sadness of the our neighbors.
Local Muslims and Pandits eat at the same table and participate in ceremonies together whenever there are weddings or other celebrations in Kashmir, they claimed.

“We have never allowed Meena Kumari, who lacks a patriarchal shadow, to feel like an orphan,” they said.
Due to unfavorable conditions in the Kashmir Valley three decades ago, most of the Kashmiri Pandits had migrated and settled in other cities including Jammu. However, many Pandit families still live in different parts of Kashmir and live side by side with the Muslim population here. (PTK)
