Once a friend of mine heard that a particular hindu family did not have anything to eat for a few days. He brought some rice and vegetables to this family. Even before he could leave the house, he saw the mother of the family dividing the provisions into two and taking the one half to her muslim neighbour. My friend asked her: “How much is then left for you all? You are already too many for the little I had brought.” The mother said, “They too don’t have anything to eat!”
