Gods own Children – Iliyas Mujawar
In today’s day & age where we are identified by our names,recognized by our religion, this is a rare act of Godliness.
In an example of communal harmony one can find Iliyas Mujawar of Alwan Galli visiting his Hindu Friends during Ganesh Festival not to see and admire the Ganesh idol but to help his friends in the decoration and getting the idol. He is part of the celebrations and actively takes part in the planning of the decoration at each one of his friends house.
Ganesh festival has brought happiness and prosperity and its gives him peace hence each year he visits and helps in decoration for Lord Ganesha.
Iliyas makes it a point to visit Sachin Kagle’s house and help in the decoration part each year. The Kagle’s also find him as their family member only.
Iliyas also helps his others friends Raju Sutar, Santosh Karekar and others with their decoration for the arrival of the Lord.
This is a unique example of brotherhood and communal amity.
