www.youngmuslimdigest.com Muslims are again praying at a mosque in a village in the state of Bihar,
shut 10 years ago following communal violence. A Hindu elder took the initiative to build religious amity by calling the Muslims back worship at the mosque. Hindu residents of Manjor village of Warsaliganj block in Nawada district reopened the mosque that was closed down after the razing of the Babri Mosque in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh in December 1992. Following the 92 communal trouble, about 40 Muslim families of Manjor village locked up the mosque, deserted their homes and migrated to other villages. The initiative for opening the mosque was taken by Vibhishan Singh, the deputy head of the village council who contacted Muslims of a neighbouring village, surprising them with the news, Singh said. " We invited Muslims of the neighbouring village to cooperate with us to open the mosque and resume prayers". Hindus of the village have also promised to maintain the Islamic shrine, said an official. The incident has become the talk of the town.
