Heart-warming! Meet the Hindu family looking after a mosque in West Bengal for over 50 years - Deepak Bose says they rebuild the mosque and since then their family is taking care of the mosque for more than 50 years.
In a tale that speaks of communal harmony in West Bengal s North 24 Parganas, a Hindu family has been for the last 50 years acting as caretakers of the Amanati Masjid in Barasat here.
In 1964, the Bose family had exchanged the property which they had in Khulna (now Bangladesh) with land in North 24 Parganas. They found that there was a small mosque on that land. While many suggested breaking and constructing a building on that plot, the Bose family opposed it as it was a religious structure.
