Mumbaikars couldn’t agree more with the police about the tweet.

India is a land of festivals, where people from different communities and religions come together to celebrate festivities irrespective of their faith. Spreading love, compassion and harmony — the festive season can often be the force that brings people closer beyond difference and barriers. And this year, we have witnessed some beautiful examples.

Recently, in a beautiful photo shared by the Mumbai Police, the cops highlighted the ‘unity in diversity’ predominant in our country. As the fever of Ganesh Chaturthi gripped Mumbaikars, the city is also gearing up for another event — Muharrum. The image shared by the police showed a Sabil set up by Muslims to quench the thirst of those thirsty next to a Ganesh Chaturthi mandap in Ambika Nagar, Parksite and highlighted the peaceful co-existence.

“If you can see it, you can feel it!” the police wrote dubbing it as “real beauty of Mumbai city in one frame”.

If you can see it, you can feel it!

Very true. This is the true spirit of Mumbai and people through out India. It’s the politics and politicians that divide and play in the name of religion. Next generation needs to be taught about this and treat all religion equal. I support #UnityInDiversity
