India: India’s Muslims mark Eid al-Fitr amid attacks on community

NEW DELHI, 04 May 2022, (TON): Muslims across India marked Eid al-Fitr by offering prayers outside mosques, with the celebrations this year following a series of attacks against the religious minority during the month of Ramadan.

This year, Mohammad Habeeb ur Rehman, a civil engineer in India’s financial capital, Mumbai said “we will not have the same kind of festivity.”

“This is the most painful Eid with the worst memories for Indian Muslims.”

Anti-Muslim sentiment and attacks have surged across the country in the last month, including stone throwing between Hindu and Muslim groups during religious processions and subsequent demolitions by authorities of a number of properties belonging mostly to Muslims.
