India is known for its diversity as well as its unity. The secret to our country's prosperity has been living in peace despite our differing religious beliefs. Occasionally, we see situations where communal harmony survives despite certain elements preaching hatred in an attempt to split the Indian people. With a Muslim woman and her relatives performing special puja there during the ongoing Navratri holiday, a modest temple amid the Sahyadri mountains in Karnataka has become a symbol of communal unity
