The scene at the stadium was like a mini-India. People from all faiths sat around a Dastar Khawan waiting for azan to break the fast. As a mark of respect, people from other faiths waited for Muslims to break the fast before eating.

“God is one. We have given Him different names. We are humans first. Humanity transcends everything,” said a participant.
