Kerala floods might have killed hundreds and displaced lakhs of people but they have also washed away caste barriers and discrimination. A mosque in the flood ravaged state opened its doors to provide shelter to Hindus, who were stuck in floods.

Juma Masjid in northern Malappuram, which is one of the worst affected districts is celebrating Eid this year in the most diverse way possible. The mosque has provided shelter to 17 displaced Hindu families including women, children and the elderly.

Chaliyar village panchayat chief P T Usman, told PTI, “There were 26 families who had sought refuge in the mosque, a majority of them Hindus. Though we opened the relief camp at the mosque on August 8, the activities started in full swing only after August 14, following a series of landslides that rocked the district.”Click Here: Crystal Palace Shop
