“I wish We could give these kids something on Eid but our funds are really meager and this year we did not even receive those funds,” says Maqsud, a teacher in a tiny government school in Bandipora.
“Eid was a celebration brought by Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) to eliminate, from the Muslim world , pre-Islamic ways of partying with, for example, alcohol.”
“We are a joint family of more than 10 members and Eid in our house is a very big deal , a big fat Kashmiri family Eid.”
“I also like those ten days before Eid, Etikaf(seclusion in the mosque), I did it some five years back.”
