Dubai, Feb 3: The Hindu Muslim Christian United (HMC United), Dubai on Thursday, February 1, honoured Praveen Shetty, chairman of Fortune Group of Hotels with the International Peace Award 2018 for his outstanding contribution to social work in the UAE and India.

Shakeel Hassan H, founder-president of HMC United and Suhail Al Zarooni presented Praveen Shetty the award trophy and certificate in a glittering ceremony at Sheikh Rashid Auditorium, The Indian High School, Dubai.

HMC united was formed with an intent to spread the message of peace and honour those who have surpassed the barriers of caste, creed and religion. HMC United is a platform all set to recognize such efforts.

Suhail Al Zarooni is best known for holding Guinness World Record twice for the years 2002 and 2003 for his collection of over 7,000 model cars. He believes that human is a social being.

Also present was the social media influencer and actor Varun Pruthi who has more than 6.6 million likes on his Facebook page and 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube. He gave a very inspiring message on humanity and world peace.

Praveen Shetty expressed his gratitude and said, "I am very pleased, honoured and humbled to accept the International Peace Award 2018."

He shared a very motivational message saying, "Mazhab nahin sikhata apas me bair rakhna - No religion teaches us to fight among each other. In other words, the discrimination of people is created among them by themselves, not by religion. Humankind would improve if we concentrate less on being human and more on being kind. Humanity means helping others at times when they need that help the most, humanity means forgetting your selfish interests at times when others need your help. We need to learn how to live with each other."

He requested one and all to live together in peace and in harmony.

Addressing the gathering, HMC United founder-president Shakeel Hassan said, "There are forces that are trying hard to disrupt the peace situation and also wanting to put an end to mankind. It is an undeniable fact that there are wars fought everyday and the world sees bloodshed all over. However, we as a collective force are looking at creating a better place for all of us and have decided to institute a Peace Award. Small little steps to unite the members of the world on one single platform and this gives us immense joy and happiness as we spread the message of peace globally."

Dubai, Aug 7: ‘Nama Tuluve’ Purushotham Salian, a staunch stalwart who always supported humanity and a strong pillar for Tuluvas in Dubai, passed away August, 4 at Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain. He was suffering from cancer and was admitted to Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain some time ago. He was on the last stage of illness which was not detected earlier.

His funeral last rites were conducted on Thursday August 7 at Jebel Ali cemetery in Hindu rites with a few of his family members present. Due to Covid pandemic, neither his body was able to be flown back to hometown nor could his two children come down to attend the funeral. However, it was said that his wish was to be cremated here in Dubai which unknowingly sometime back he whispered to one of his friends.

Purushotham had few years ago, survived a heart attack and fought back his life, though it had a minor paralytic effect on him. Even though, till recently he used to do his day-to-day work normally. He was a hard working personality and owned a readymade garment shop in Ajman and Dubai mostly taking care of clients with requirement of uniforms and coveralls. His dedication towards work was always appreciated by his clients who used to get their things delivered on time always.

He was never a publicity person and was helping the poor and needy in whatever ways he could silently. He strongly supported the community and was associated with Nama Tuluveru and Billawa community with commitment. He used to voluntarily come forward for the ground work of various functions of the community and used to be there until it was done perfectly.
