Stories Amid Delhi Violence That Echo The Idea of India

While rioters were having a Scott-free run executing violence and arson in Delhi, some chose to not go by the path of hatred and let humanity prevail by helping those who were in trouble.

Delhi| Delhi witnessed unprecedented violence in the northeast area for three consecutive days. The national capital hasn’t seen violence of this magnitude since the 1984 Sikh riots. While rioters were having a Scott-free run executing violence and arson in Delhi, some chose to not go by the path of hatred and let humanity prevail by helping those who were in trouble. Here are some stories that give a ray of hope in the dark times that we face today.

  1. The Gurudwaras all over Delhi opened their gates for riot-affected families for shelter and food. The Sikh community has always been at the forefront of humanitarian causes. They didn’t disappoint at this time as well.

2. In an amazing display of humanity and care, residents of Yamuna Vihar formed a human chain to escort the school students safely. Amid the tensed situation in Delhi, these people came ahead so that the kids do not suffer the wrath of violence.

3. In another such incident, Muslim residents in Ramesh Park’s colony no. 10 came out of the houses in panic as the violence grew. The Hindu and Sikh residents of the area assured their Muslim brethren that if goons came to their colony, they would protect their Muslim brothers.

4. In Lalita park as well, Sikh and Hindu residents one by one visited the Muslim houses and assured them that they are safe.

5. Another man tweeted this saying how Hindus from his colony sat outside his only Muslim house in neighbourhood and protected his family.

6. While some BJP leaders were silent on the series of events, one BJP ward councillor came to rescue for a Muslim family in Yamuna Vihar. According to India Today’s report, the mob set ablaze the Muslim family’s car and bike while also torching the boutique of their tenant. The BJP councillor, who is a long time friend of the family, came to the rescue of the family and prevented the mob from further harming the family and their property.
