Indiana University students contribute in many ways to what has long been recognized as a rich community of diverse ideas, cultures, and experiences. Identify your most significant contribution to one or more of the communities to which you belong. (Communities, for example, can form around shared experiences in music, sports, the arts, culture, ethnicity, shared beliefs, or ideas.) Describe your level of achievement or involvement and reflect on your most important contributions. Briefly describe how these experiences have influenced you. (200-400 words)

I belonged to a Muslim community in Delhi. The area of Delhi is highly populated and there are very few Muslims in my area. The high density of Hindus has influenced Muslims. The Muslims had no mosque to pray in my area. I was young and had written letters to many officials for the mosque building but there was no response.

Explanation:

I then started gathering the money from the people who lived in my society and I dedicated a room in my house for prayers as a mosque. The Muslims then came to my house and performed religious beliefs. The people were really happy that they have got a place to worship freely. Since many people used to come in the room daily the room was small for such religious offerings. My one of neighbor who was Hindus also asked us to have a room in their house for prayers.
