NEW DELHI - As deadly clashes between Hindu and Muslim groups rocked parts of the Indian capital Delhi this week, the family of a young Hindu woman living in a Muslim-majority area was forced to cancel her wedding.
But Savitri’s father then organized the wedding for the following day, saying his Muslim neighbors were family and he was comforted by their presence. At least 32 people have been killed in the fighting in Chand Bagh and nearby areas of the capital this week, and hundreds of Hindus and Muslims have been injured in the worst sectarian riots in the Indian capital in decades.
“We could hear a lot of commotion outside, but I had the henna applied, hoping things would be better next day,” she said. Instead, they got worse.“Our heart pains for her, who would want their daughter to be sitting home crying when she is supposed to be happy?” said Sameena Begum, one of the Muslim neighbors.
