Scenes of Hindus giving a warm send off to their Muslim neighbour who is proceeding to Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj in a gated society of Ghaziabad, close to capital New Delhi, have filled the social media with love and warmth.

The video of the episode is from Ghaziabad. It shows a row of Hindu Men with marigold garlands in their handa waiting for their Muslim neighbour to come and women too waiting for the family members of their neighbours surfaced on the internet on Wednesday afternoon.

The video clip with scenes of warm hugs exchanged between Hindu and Muslim women and menfolk placing the garland around the Muslim man departing for Hajj, was shared on social media like anything.

Most of those who shared the video spoke about the Indian ethos.
