    Many of the netizens lauded the Sikh man, saying he embodied the communal harmony that has existed in Kashmir for centuries.
     
    'Seharkhwaan' is the term used for the drum beaters who go around a locality to wake up its residents for the pre-dawn meal before start of dawn-to-dusk fast during Ramzan.
     
    This task is normally taken up by one of the Muslims from the locality but members from minority community doing it is rare but not new.
