The Dhaka Times Desk Rakhi is a ritual of harmony or bonding in Hinduism. Sister wears rakhi to her brothers. This custom has been going on for ages. But this time news of an exceptional bond has come in the media. And that is a Pakistani sister wearing rakhi to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for 36 years!
Not only strengthening brother-sister bonds, Rakhi becomes a festival of harmony and erases caste, creed, caste and even national differences was proved by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A Pakistani woman has been wearing her rakhi for 36 years. This year was no exception. For 36 years, Narendra Modi's Pakistani sister Qamar Mohsin Sheikh has been wearing rakhi. The woman came to India after marriage. Since then he is in India.
She had no relatives in India except her husband's family. He didn't know much about anyone. One day I met Modi. After that, a brother-sister relationship developed between them. Even after Modi became the Prime Minister, their relationship has remained intact.
Qamar Mohsin Sheikh told the media, 'My husband draws pictures. He once went to Delhi and had a talk with Narendra Modi. He is a very decent person. I used to meet him often. Every time he asked, how are you sister? I have been wearing his rakhi for 36 years. On the first Rakhi day when he went to wear Rakhi, he extended his hand with joy. Since then I have been wearing her rakhi every time.'
Narendra Modi was an ordinary RSS worker when his Narendrabhai interacted with Qamar Mohsin Sheikh. After becoming the Chief Minister of Gujarat several times, Modi has now become the Prime Minister of the country. He also invited his sister to come to Delhi. This Pakistani sister will go there and tie rakhi in his hand!
Gopinath temple in Vrindavan also organized a special program on the occasion of Rakhi festival. Five widows from there will also come to Delhi and wear Rakhi to the Prime Minister. About 1500 handmade rakhis will be gifted to Narendra Modi.
