While the rest of country may fight it out over what stands as nationalism and religious tolerance, here is an example set by Punjabi University in Patiala, Punjab, from which people can learn a lesson or two.

The varsity is set to examine and digitise a century-old printed copy of Quran which is written in Punjabi, as per a report by Indian Express.

The rare copy was found by Subash Parihar, a prominent historian who retired from the Museology Department of Central University of Punjab. It was printed way back in 1911. Parihar calls it the best example of Hindu-Muslim-Sikh goodwill.

However, what makes it uniquely special is not its date but the interesting story behind it.
