Chhatarpur (MP), Aug 24: A Hindu man and his family here have embraced Islam after allegedly facing social boycott for over 28 years since he married a Muslim woman.
Vinod Prakash Khare (51), a resident of Rajnagar town in the district in Bundelkhand region, said he had married a Muslim woman nearly 28 years back. Post the marriage, his wife was assigned a Hindu name.
However, their alliance was not accepted by the family, relatives and society at large and his family was ostracised, he alleged.
Khare, his wife, daughter and sons converted to Islam on August 21.
"The Hindu society has not been supportive of us. Nobody used to invite us to marriages," he said.
"I was not even allowed to lend a shoulder to my father's body during his funeral procession. In such times, the Muslim society helped us, so our family decided to accept Islam," said the man, who is now rechristened as Ghulam Mohammed.
Rajnagar's sub-divisional magistrate Ravindra Choukse said he was aware about the family's conversion.
"I have got information about the conversion of Khare and his family. In case of any dispute or controversy necessary steps would be taken," Choukse said.
A local leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad said they were trying to resolve the family's problems.
"I am in touch with the family. We are working to sort out their problems. They have assured to reconsider their decision," he said.
Welcoming the move Dr Arathi Krishna told coastaldigst.com that Indians stranded in any foreign country can utilize this facility. "Initially, I was approached by Mr Zakaria and Mr Sheik who wanted chartered flights to help their employees fly back to India. I asked them to write to the Indian Ambassador in Saudi Araia Mr Ausaf Sayeed. Then I requested the ambassador to forward the request to Joint Secretary Dr Nagendra Prasad, who is in charge of gulf division in the Ministry of External Affairs, and then to Secretary on charge of Gulf and then I requested Secretary of Economic Relations Mr T S Tirumurti who was also in charge of Gulf to follow this up," she said.

Be good to believers and non believers.
Only your good characters can attract others. Not your bad attitudes.
So, be good to all.
Our Hindu brothers, know about Islam and they like it. One day, they will come embrace Islam. Islam is natural way of living.
When the girl from Non-hindu family married a Hindu man, she was not accepted in Hindu Community.
They dont want someone to join Hindu religion and also they dont let someone join other religion.
what kind of mentality. Within Hindu community, they dont treat all Hindus equally, A lot of grades, upper, medium, lower, lowest..... 1000 grades.
Is it religion of God. This nothing but Moking the God.
So they have taken the right step, to join Islam which is the real religion, where every teaching goes with science. There is no superstition.
Equal treatment to all and no discrimination between anyone.
What is religion. Religion is set of commands to be successful come from the God, who is the wisest.
Remember a religion can not be a religion if it contradicts science.
The Islam religion is a full of guidance how to live in this world .
It is teaching how to be successful and after the death which is the permenent life for ever (after the death).
