When Hindus refused to play Holi! Nawab of UP showered colors on Muharram


This is the story of the Nawab who was crazy about Holi. Holi which is a festival of joy and joy and on the other hand Muharram which is a day of mourning for one part of Islam religion and Shia people make mourning on this day.

Once these two festivals came together, Hindus refused to play Holi in honor of Muslim people and the Hindus living in lucknow set the example of brotherhood and decided that this time they would not play Holi. When the last Nawab of lucknow (Awadh) Wajid Ali Shah came to know about this, he decided that this time he himself will play Holi.

You also need to know here that the Nawab loved Holi very much and he believed in Ganga-Jamuni culture and he always maintained unity among Hindus and Muslims.

In today's time, we have to remember that how Hindus and Muslims lived with brotherhood even at that time.

The Nawab himself played Holi that year in honor of the Hindus
