Hindu devotees help Muslim woman give birth in Ganpati temple

While the nation might be consumed by news of communal hatred, as a man in Dadri was allegedly killed for consuming beef (which he didn’t), there are incidents of harmony which remind us that the idea of India will never die. Recently, according to a report in Mid Day, a group of Hindu devotees in Mumbai helped a Muslim woman give birth. Apparently, the woman was forced out of her after the taxi driver panicked that she was going to give birth in his car.

When the driver ejected them from their car, they were helped by some women who were sitting near a Ganpati temple. The women created a temporary delivery room with the help of sarees and bed-sheets, and helped with the delivery. The couple went to the hospital after the delivery and the doctors said there were no signs of complications. The happy couple are now going to name the baby Ganesh.
