Doda (J&K), Jun 04 (ANI): After a gap of over two decades, a group of people in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district have revived the practice of sehar khawani- a ritual to help Muslims wake up for preparing sehri in the holy month of Ramadan. As per locals, rising bigotry and torture by militants had forced them to end the practice owing to restrictions in the movement of residents at night, thereby forcing them to keep their month-long celebrations of Ramadan low-key for about 30 years. However, with the end of militancy and return of peace in this hilly district of Jammu and Kashmir, some volunteers have restarted ‘sehar khawani’ this year. The credit for making this culture alive goes to a group of men who have revived this traditional and important ritual which was last seen in 1992.
