A little Hindu girl causes a sensation in India: she wins a Quran recitation competition
Who could have imagined that in the ultra-nationalist India of Narendra Modi,he Prime Minister and former leader of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), scene of merciless repression against the Muslim minority, would a small miracle of living together emerge in the midst of persecution? A little miracle that would have the pretty face of a little Hindu girl…
At the age of 10, in front of a jury captivated by her voice and, even more, by her mastery of the Arabic language, the young Parvathy Bobby marvelously embodied this prodigious miracle of religious tolerance, on a stage and in an exercise where we didn’t expect it. (see video below)
Her performance having been unanimous, her origins and her youthful freshness having caused a sensation, the Hindu girl won hands down first prize in the Quran recitation competition in Kozhikode, in the state of Kerala. A region that still talks about it…
Established as a symbol of harmonious coexistence, Parvathy Bobby is on the verge of becoming legendary. The Indian media, rave about her, reported that she had learned Arabic with her twin sister, on the wise advice of her parents. His father, Nalish Bail, a computer engineer, and his mother, Dina Prabha, an English teacher, believe that learning the Arabic language is a blessing.
No doubt ! An incredible miracle has indeed occurred in the vengeful India of Narendra Modi, and he has the talent and the touching face of a little Hindu girl.
