For the past four years, Neha Bharti has been organizing Iftar during the holy month of Ramadan at Delhi’s Jama Masjid, near Gate No. 3. In this noble endeavour, she has received support from several Hindu friends, who have helped in the event and contributed to spreading the message of love. This is why Neha’s name has become popular both on social media and among the general public, and she is widely appreciated for her efforts.

Neha Bharti, a resident of Chawri Bazaar in Old Delhi, has done an MA in political science from Delhi University. Four years ago, she began distributing Iftar at the mosque on her own, and soon, others joined her in this initiative.

In an interview with India Tomorrow, Neha explained that after 2014, when hate was being spread against Muslims in the country, she thought about doing something to counter this hatred. She took to the streets to voice her opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Bill, which led to her facing social discrimination. However, Neha did not back down from her resolve and began organizing Iftar at Jama Masjid during Ramadan.

Neha shared that her family, including her parents, brother, and sister-in-law, have been very supportive of her efforts. She brings a variety of dishes every day, most of which she prepares herself at home. Neha said, “When I started bringing Iftar from home to Jama Masjid, many of my relatives were upset. They said I should do this for my own community. But I believe that our country is home to people of many religions, and we should all respect each other’s festivals. We should celebrate Eid together and play Holi as well.”

Neha Bharti has been organizing Iftar at Delhi's Jama Masjid for the past four years, promoting love and unity during Ramadan. Supported by Hindu friends, her initiative has gained popularity on social media and among the public.
Neha, a political science graduate from Delhi University, started this effort to counter the rising hate against Muslims post-2014, particularly in response to the Citizenship Amendment Bill. Despite facing social discrimination and online abuse, she remains committed to her cause, believing in celebrating all religions together.
Neha prepares a variety of dishes for Iftar and emphasizes the importance of mutual respect among communities. Her efforts have garnered praise, with attendees recognizing her work as a beacon of humanity. Neha's initiative highlights the need for positive change and unity in a time of division, showcasing that transcending religious boundaries can foster peace and understanding in society.

 

Neha has garnered a large following on social media, yet she still faces abuse and threats for her efforts. She explains that when she shares photos or videos of Ramadan, she receives hateful comments. “Hatred brings nothing good; it only increases division in society. I’m out here spreading love, and that will help society and the country develop,” she said.

Neha adds, “It’s not just about religion; I have many Muslim friends who join me for festivals like Holi and Diwali, and I visit them during Eid. This is the heritage and culture of Old Delhi, and we need to protect it by taking a stand.”

Aqeel Ahmed, who came with his family from Badarpur to break their fast at Jama Masjid, praised Neha Bharti’s efforts, saying, “She’s doing a wonderful thing, and this will send a positive message to society. Not all Hindus are bad, we need to get to know the good ones. What she’s doing is a beautiful example of humanity.”

Commenting on the current situation regarding Muslims in the country, Neha said, “The situation for Muslims in the country is very bad right now. Hatred has spread everywhere, and children who should be in school are being taught negative stereotypes about Muslims. In these times, it’s important for good people to step forward.”

It’s well known that the month of Ramadan is considered sacred by Muslims, during which they fast from dawn to dusk and break their fast in the evening.

Neha Bharti’s initiative proves that to bring positive change to society, one must transcend the boundaries of religion and caste. Her work is truly inspirational and sends a message of unity and peace to our society.
