In a touching display of interfaith solidarity, the Muslim community in Gadoora, Ganderbal, stepped up to perform the last rites for Kartar Singh, a beloved Sikh resident who passed away on Sunday. This act of kindness underscores the deep-rooted communal harmony that persists amid Jammu and Kashmir’s challenges.
Word of Kartar Singh’s death spread quickly, prompting local Muslims to organize the cremation and even transport firewood to support the grieving family. Overwhelmed with gratitude, his relatives shared, “We’ve lived and worked in Kashmir for decades. The locals’ compassion leaves us speechless—they embody true humanity that everyone in India could learn from.”
Gadoora residents celebrated their enduring bond of unity. “We’ve always shared joys and sorrows, and standing by this family was our duty,” said local Ghulam Nabi. The community offered prayers for the departed soul’s peace and reaffirmed their commitment to preserving this brotherhood across faiths.
This gesture serves as a powerful reminder of Kashmir’s resilient spirit of togetherness.
