'Langar' is a Sikh community kitchen. It is found at various gurudwaras in India. They provide free meals/food to all who come to visit gurudwara irrespective of caste, creed, class and gender. We see these community kitchens all over India. From last Sunday (November 27) Sikh Community put up a 'Langar' at Old Goa where novenas and devotion of Saint Francis Xavier are going on these days. One of the members serving the food said that they have established it to promote and enhance equality, brotherhood and oneness which is already prevalent in Goa. It is heartening to see that a Sikh Community has gone beyond their region and religion and come to Goa to serve the pilgrims of St Francis Xavier and other visitors at Old Goa. Earlier the same community rendered wonderful service in providing meals to many people during pandemic in Goa. One needs to appreciate and encourage such a venture as in reality it promotes oneness, equality, fraternity among people irrespective of caste, creed, class and gender.
