Mathura, February 25: In a shining example of communal harmony, marriage of 12 couples from Hindu and Muslim communities were solemnised together in the temple city.

"It was a unique programme aimed at promoting communal harmony," Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Minister Laxmi Narayan Chaudhary, who attended the function, said on Sunday.

"It is a rare sight to see marriage and nikah being performed on a common platform," Commissioner Agra Division Sita Ram Meena said.

Such initiatives pave the way for marriage of girls whose parents are economically backward, DM Mathura, Anita C Meshram said.

The function was organised by a welfare organization 'Sankalp welfare Society'.

Hindus, Muslims marriage solemnised on single platform by Harry on 26 Feb 2008

Good idea. Pakistan and Bangladesh should do the same.

Hindu Muslim Harmony by Ahmed on 25 Feb 2008

Any effort to bring harmony should be appreciated. Modi Pets should start cleaning their minds and educate themselves about different communities around and live and let live others happily. This is very important for their own safety and clean identity. Should condemn and ban all Hindutva activities by RSS and all its mini PetParties throughout India.

Ishwar Allah tero naam by abdul_converted on 25 Feb 2008

please sing "Ishwar Allah Tero Naam" in each mosque of India, if you really want communal harmony. This episod is nothing but a "Lachari" of the poor on both sides. There is no communal harmony here. Hindus have sung this song for last 80 years, ever since Gandhi coined it. What did hindus get in return - " Train load of Hindus burnt in Gandhi's Gujarat "

Hindu Muslim Harmony by ZAHEER on 26 Feb 2008

BELIEVE THE WRITER IS IGNORANT OF MUSLIM RELIGION, THEY DO NOT SING IN THE MOSQUE, BUT THEY ONLY PRAY QUITELY TO ALLMIGHTY GOD. DO NOT TRY TO FOOL PEOPLE WRITING " ABDUL-CONVERTED". THE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE MORE HARM TO THE COMMUNAL HARMONY. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOUR ARE THE PET OF GUJRAT COMMUNAL MINDED COMMUNITY.

Hindu Muslim unity by Indian Muslim on 25 Feb 2008

This will not do that good to bring about Hindus and Muslims together in India. The polarisation and ghettos hv already been created by RSS and affliate parties BJP, VHP and Shiv Sena between Hindus and Muslims for their vested interest in India. Prior these parties coming into the scene Hindus and Muslims did enjoy leaving together but now Hindus hv their own localities and Muslims have their own. In Mumbai certain localities the builders are not ready to sell out their flats and apartments to Muslims. Specially the Gujaraties and Jains are not ready to stay side by side Muslims. With the advent of globalisation and modernisation the mind set of these communities have to be changed. Otherwise what is happening in Lebonon will happen in India in future.

what ever you told my brother it's true stop RSS,BAJRANGDAL,VHP,SHIV SENAotherwise whatever going in lebonon it will continue in india also in the name of jihad, i think you hindus understood,
