Thirty-year-old Savitri stays in northeast Delhi바카라s Babu Nagar area with her two kids and brother-in-law. She has been living there for more than 10 years.
Her husband passed away a few years ago and her brother-in-law takes care of the family바카라s financial needs.
On February 24, when reports of communal violence emerged from the neighbouring Shiv Vihar and Chand Bagh, Savitri, worried about her family바카라s safety, decided to go to her relatives바카라 place in other parts of Delhi.
There are around 2,000 houses in the area where she stays and Hindu families own only 50 houses, that too are scattered all over. Others are owned by Muslims.
The 60 odd houses in the street, where Savitri lives, house Muslim families.
In that tense atmosphere, she was afraid when she saw hundreds of Muslim families from Shiv Vihar moving to Babu Nagar to take shelter at homes of their relatives. But her fears were allayed after her neighbours promised to take care of her family.
바카라I had some concerns initially but before I could prepare to leave, my neighbours sensed it all. They came and asked about my well-being. When I asked them if I should leave, they got upset and told me that they would not let that happen,바카라 Savitri said.
바카라They told me that if they have to risk their own well-being, they would do that but would not let anything happen to me and my kids,바카라 she said.
Savitri바카라s neighbour, Asif Mirza, says he told everyone in their colony to take care of Savitri and her family.
The elders in the colony said they would not let even other Hindu families leave.
바카라'If you go, it will hurt us,' I told them,바카라 said Asif adding that those who caused violence and bloodbath were neither Hindus nor Muslims.
바카라They were enemies of humanity. They don바카라t have any religion.바카라
