The 21-second video clip, showing the man beating the drum to wake up his neighbours, is being widely shared on various social media platforms here.
Allah Rasool de pyaaro, jannat de talabgaro, utho roza rakho (The beloved of Allah and his messenger, the seekers of paradise, wake up to start your fast), the unidentified Sikh man shouts.
Many of the netizens lauded the Sikh man, saying he embodied the communal harmony that has existed in Kashmir for centuries.
Seharkhwaan is the term used for the drum beaters who go around a locality to wake up its residents for the pre-dawn meal before start of dawn-to-dusk fast during Ramazan.
This task is normally taken up by one of the Muslims from the locality but members from minority community doing it is rare but not new. (PTI)
