These images correspond to a morning in the Yashodhan school. As always, after singing the National Anthem, they proceeded to pray to greet the day and ask it to go well. The photographs (a girl whose hands are in the Muslim prayer position and another in the position of Hinduism) illustrate perfectly one of the basic premises of Bombay Smiles: respect for every religion. Bombay Smiles, which is secular, totally and absolutely respects the beliefs and faith of every community that we help, whether it is Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Jainist or any other Indian religion. Bombay is 81% Hindu, 12% Muslim, 3% Christian, 1.9% Sikhs, 2.5% Jainist, a small percent Parsee (deeply rooted in Bombay) and other minority religions.We will always help regardless of one’s religion and will never impose one on them.
Photographs: Juan PelegrÃn
