Dreams Shattered: Muslim Couple Forced to Relinquish New Home Amidst Rising Islamophobia in India

In the heart of Moradabad’s upscale TDI City, a poignant tale of shattered dreams unfolded.

A Muslim couple, both esteemed doctors, aspired to make a home in this community. Their long-time friend, Dr. Ashok Bajaj, sold them his house, believing in the bonds of their 40-year relationship.

However, upon learning of the sale, Hindu residents erupted in protest, unwilling to accept neighbors of a different faith. Voices rose, declaring, “We cannot tolerate a Muslim family living right in front of our local temple.” The couple, facing such vehement opposition, felt compelled to relinquish their new home, their hopes dashed by intolerance.

Dr. Bajaj, disheartened, remarked that the uproar was “uncalled for.” This incident casts a somber light on the deepening communal divides in India, where dreams of unity are too often overshadowed by prejudice.
