Muslim Village: India is a country where people of all religions and communities live together. This is the reason why it is considered to be the biggest example of unity in diversity, leaving aside politics and the thinking of leaders, people of Hindu-Muslim, Sikh-Christian and other religions in the country respect each other and many times respect each other. They also adapt to the culture. A similar example can be seen in Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand, where the people of Muslim community are completely engrossed in the hill culture, even their dress and dialect are Garhwali.
Now, even though this story may sting for some people, it is true. There is a village in Uttarakhand where only Muslims live. That is why it is also called the village of Muslims. After listening to the story of this village, you will forget all those hateful statements or stories which some people are continuously trying to dissolve in the society. From this you will come to know that no matter what a person’s religion is, his soul and way of life are almost the same.
