The video has now made it to YouTube and can be searched as “Sikh man waking up Muslims for Sehri”. The original video, it appears, was posted on the same platform a week ago under the title “Sehri time doll (drum) in Pakistan”.
Businessman Adil Ahmed, who is based in Srinagar and follows social media closely, claimed, “This video is a clip from Pakistan not Tral.”
‘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 the start of the dawn-to-dusk fast during Ramzan.
This task is normally taken up by one of the Muslims from the locality. Members from the minority community taking on the job is rare but not new.
Sikhs in Tral area have been actively participating in the joys and sorrows of their Muslim neighbours, residents said.
