The Hindu Festivals: absolutely ridiculous, barbaric, and ru
by: Kedar Joshi

Almost all of the Hindu festivals are bogus, childish, and absolutely rubbish. Here I explain how.

1. MakarSankranta (Capricorn Transition of Sun)-
It is celebrated by giving Til Gool, a kind of round sweet edible thing, to each other and saying Til Gool Ghya Ani God Bola. (i.e. have this til gool and speak good.) Now how many people really speak good because of this? Almost none! Simply ridiculous!

2. Holi and Rangapanchami (A kind of fire night to burn evil followed by some colourful celebration) -
A huge fire is created, at innumerably many places across the country (i.e. India), for the sake of burning evil. However, what is literally burnt is wood and loads of air pollution is created. The next day water balloons and colours are heavily used to throw at civilians which causes injuries and interruption to normal duties/routine. What a shame!

3. Nagpanchami -
This festival celebrates and worships the reptile ‘snake’, which is offered milk on the basis of the misbelief that it likes milk, where, in fact, it does not drink milk at all. Quite silly!

4. Raksha Bandhan (Promise of Protection)-
In this festival a sister ties a Rakhi, a kind of funny band, on the wrist/s of her brother/s expecting a promise that he/they will protect her in hostile circumstances. (where actually the sole interest of the sister is getting money out of her brother/s pocket/s.) Simply wicked!

5. Ganeshotsav (Celebrating the funny-looking elephant headed god)-
Loads of huge (as well as tiny and medium size) Ganesh statues are created, worshipped, and finally sunk in rivers and seas. All this is accompanied by loads of noise & water pollution and severe disruption on roads demanding police forces. Pathetic!

6. Dasara (also known as Vijayadashami) -
In the name of burning evil, a massive Ravan doll is burnt at many places across the country, causing loads of air and noise pollution. Absolutely childish!

7. Diwali / Deepawali
It is mainly celebrated with millions of fire crackers all over the country with absolute disregard to nature and civilians. It is even fearsome and possibly fateful to travel in those periods as roads are full of burning firecrackers !!! Simply annoying, barbaric, and Rubbish!
