India: A Hindu family fasting in Ramzan or 40 years
3 Sep 2008, TNN
Talking to TOI, Bhatt said, "My elder son had been suffering from a stomach problem for a long time. We had visited all the doctors and hospitals for treatment, but nothing cured him. Then we were told by a Sufi believer that if we appease 'Pir Mamu' (as he is fondly remembered by his followers) - the Sufi saint, who had his abode where our house now stands - our son will be cured of his illness. He said we should stay away from vices and other prohibited things under Islam."
Since then the family has kept its vow and has been performing all the rituals during the holy month of Ramzan. It breaks the fast only after paying homage to Pir Mamu.
