This aunty (who will be named Hamida) was a neighbor of a person (let us name here Priya) I know from down south. Priya as a kid would go to Hamida auntys house when latter would cook some Muslim specialty food. And Priya would dash off to a Hindu household for traditional southern Hindu delicacies.
The unique aspect of Hamida aunty was she would feed Muslim persons who would be needing a meal. Anyone from the street was welcome. And that is not all. They would be seated at the same place as other members of the household. And be serves in the same silverware as household members.
If that is what the faith is about, it is indeed special. And from Priya’s accounts, Hamida aunty was special. I hope Hamida aunty is doing well, wherever she is.
