I keep away from Iftar parties and the very humility of our fast has been overtly hijacked politicized for their own personal agenda , and this is nothing short of appeasement ,, you hit the Muslim with one stick and than hold a Iftar party to me hardly makes any sense, the stupid fake smiles the artificial white fur caps makes the politicians look like fools ,,even a Gandhi topi would be more meaningful.
Hand chosen people, sycophants , chamchas of the party, crowd collectors are invited to the Iftar party ..there is nothing holistic or spiritual about it ,, it is for publicity and gaining cookie points for the party.
I have not seen beggars the very poor sitting at the same table breaking the fast..the only time the Muslim beggar and the rich man come together heads bowed is during the Namaz , otherwise the Muslim beggar is treated worse than a Untouchable ..
People like me will never be invited to such fake Iftar parties , because with a camera in hand I would be searching for the beggars to shoot at the Iftar .. and there will be none all waiting with hands stretched outside the venue ,, the Iftar party by various political parties is to remind the Muslim not to forget that he has to cast his vote for them during the 2017 civic elections ,,
And I was asking this Muslim gentleman if he was invited to any Iftar party .. he said No.. he does his Iftar among his own in the Mosque ..one with God ,in humility and gratitude.
