When it comes to Hindu-Muslim brotherhood, India sets as a shining example. Muslim brethren in Bihar have been helping Hindu brothers in constructing Lord Shiva's temple. You have to travel to Sitamarhi district to witness the same. Ahead of Chhathth festival in Bihar, scores of Muslim brothers came forward to give donations. Besides donating money, the brothers have been acting taking part in the construction of the shrine.

The people in the village, when asked about this act, said that their village would stand as an ideal one in terms of harmony between the groups. Some of the Muslim brethren said they were indeed happy for the temple construction. In fact, not just in Sitamarhi town, but in many parts of Bihar, Muslim brethren have been helping Hindu brethren in all possible ways. In Bhagalpur town of Bihar, when Muslim brothers were observing Ramadan, they helped Jain brothers in constructing a Jain Mandir.
