Indian Volunteers Offer Sharbat to Protesters in Qom

In the holy city of Qom, a group of Indian volunteers has been serving sharbat to residents amid growing war fears and protests. The volunteers, who have been present for several weeks, provide the traditional drink as a gesture of compassion in a city that has seen heightened tensions.

The volunteers, who identify themselves as Indian nationals, have set up a small stall near a central mosque, offering sharbat to anyone who approaches. They say the act is a symbol that, even as governments shift positions and diplomacy fluctuates, ordinary people can still choose compassion.

The initiative comes as Qom has experienced increased security concerns and public demonstrations, reflecting broader regional anxieties. The volunteers’ efforts have been welcomed by locals, who view the gesture as a peaceful contribution to the city’s atmosphere of uncertainty.
