Decked in traditional red Banarasi, a tiara of flowers and jewellery, six-year-old Rimsha became 'Durga' on Thursday. The Muslim girl took centrestage at a community Kolkata Durga Puja whose organisers chose to hold one of its most auspicious ceremonies - Khuti Puja - on Eid-al-Adha, apart from a symbolic Kumari Puja with Rimsha to reinforce the message of communal harmony at a time of rifts in society along religious lines.

RT @AudreyTruschke: Folks often ask about Hindutva uses of Hindu religious celebrations and imagery. This is one example —

Hindu nationalists are celebrating Durga puja by making Indian independence-leader Mahatma Gandhi the slain demon (asura).

The force behind the #UNESCO intangible cultural #heritage tag of #DurgaPuja is art historian Tapati Guha Thakurta, Director, Center for Studies in Social Sciences, #Calcutta, my former professor 😊. She did the research and filled in the form. The rest is history

The desperation to prove good Muslim for acceptance is disheartening.

RT @ndtv@twitter.com

A group of Muslim youths distributed fruits among devotees at a temple in Silchar, Cachar, Assam on the occasion of #DurgaPuja yesterday.

"We want to send out a message that Hindu-Muslim unity is intact and divisive forces won't succeed," said Raza Laskar.
