How rebuilding old mosques is bringing Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims together in Punjab
Reported byGuardian Global Development ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Villagers in Jakhiwal, Punjab are rebuilding a mosque destroyed during partition in 1947, funded almost entirely by local Sikhs and Hindus. An 87-year-old Muslim man hopes to hear the azaan echo across his village again before he dies, and a 77-year-old Sikh woman donated family farmland to make it possible.
The mosque is still under construction and not yet complete.
