While Shiv Sena stopped Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui from playing the role of Maarich in a Ramlila in his Muzaffarnagar village, UP has a long tradition of Muslims playing active roles both on and off the stage essaying the story of Lord Rama. Even in the Aishbagh Ramlila in Lucknow where PM Narendra Modi is due to visit on October 11, Muslims play a major role in organisation while Bakshi Ka Talab Ramlila in the state capital, Muslims both organise the show and act.
