Hindus and Muslims and Moon
In 2010, Ganesha festival for Hindus and Ramzan festival for Muslims fell on same day. I guess (I may be wrong here) Muslim folks had to see Moon and (this I know for sure) Hindu folks had to avoid seeing Moon. If the belief is for goodness to prevail on Earth, then Muslim folks would want all Hindus to see Moon too and Hindus would want all Muslim folks to avoid seeing Moon. How exactly opposite!

My word Harsha! I was thinking of this that day. I still keep thinking on how a dialogue between Hindu pundits and Muslim clerics on this matter would look like on this occurence.
