Muslim Doctors in UP’s Kairana Soothe Blisters of Kanwariyas

Heartwarming display of unity in a city once known for communal tensions 

Kairana :

The Uttar Pradesh city of Kairana in Shamli District, once known for its communal tensions, has now become a symbol of harmony and unity.

Muslim doctors in the area are providing medical assistance to Kanwariyas, the devotees of Shiva, during the annual Kanwar Yatra. These doctors are applying the “balm of harmony” by treating the blisters and injuries of the Shiva devotees, showcasing a touching example of communal harmony.

At a bustling medical camp on Kairana Road, Dr. Babar Chauhan, Dr. Syed Nadeem, and Dr. Shavez Rana are dedicated to serving the Shiva devotees. Despite their busy schedule at a private hospital, these doctors make time to volunteer at the camp, providing essential medical care to the Kanwariyas.

Dr. Chauhan reassures a Kanwariya, “Hey Bhole, don’t panic. I have cleaned the blisters and bandaged them with good medicine. Now keep taking these antibiotics and pain medicines on time. Don’t worry, be carefree. This pain, wound, and skin will all be fine.”

The gratitude and relief are palpable as another Kanwariya requests, “Doctor Sahab, please bandage me. There is some relief from the medicine, if you feel the need, give me an injection.” Dr. Nadeem responds with a smile, “Oh, no, there is no need for this. Take rest, it will be fine.”

Rising Above Caste and Religion

In a country often divided by caste and religion, these Muslim doctors set a powerful example by serving the Shiva devotees with dedication and compassion. “Humanity, service, and sympathy give immense peace,” says Dr. Rana, reflecting the ethos of their selfless service.

Dr. Nadeem adds, “Religious discrimination is not right; everyone should live with humanity. We are providing all kinds of facilities to Shiva devotees, from treating blisters to addressing accidents and fever.”

Positive Impact on the Community

The positive impact of this service is echoed by the Shiva devotees themselves. Aman and Rajan from Haryana and Dhirendra from Sonipat expressed their appreciation. “On reaching Shamli, we felt very good to see the spirit of service of the doctors of the Muslim community. If everyone lives together in this way and serves each other with devotion during religious festivals, then the path of happiness, peace, and progress will be paved in the country,” they said.

This initiative by Muslim doctors of Kairana not only provides essential medical aid but also fosters a spirit of unity and communal harmony, setting a hopeful example for the entire nation.
