How festivals of other communities celebrated where these two communities live together? Do people share their joys with others?

My dada’s house is connected with the house of a Hindu family. We had a common well (kunwan) and on occasions like Eid and Muharram we send that food (mithai and Nazr o Niyaz) and on Diwali they send us sweets. I remember, we children use to avoid eating sweets coming from their home, but when our dadi said ’ Kalma padh ke khalo’, we had that with pleasure :yummy:

Means there is no concept of sharing in Western society. This reminds me college days.

In those days we used to have lunch near college.. Sometimes, a student paid bill for whole group and sometimes (in last days of month) there used to be a slogan 'Aaj American system hoga', means everyone had to pay for his food :D

Re: Eid for Hindus, Diwali for Muslims

strange it might sound but it's true that, in spite of living in India, i had very little interaction with Hindus because wherever i lived in India it was a basically purely Muslim Areas. we had a single Hindu Baniyaa family in my village where we used to buy groceries from and at Aligarh, where i studied, Muslims were/are in majority. i had hardly ever a Hindu close friend. just salaam du'aa hii bas hotii thii...in my class of 55 students, there were just 3 Hindus.

we never had any family relationships with any Hindu families back home.
