Who can forget the festival of Holi which holds such significance in the life of all Indians, it has brought in the faith over gods in all the people who didn’t believe it. It makes us feel that god exists and that is why we exist. These are all the reasons why we celebrate Holi in India.
But to be honest, the festival of Holi is not the same as it used to. It has lost the significance of the importance of god in the souls of people. It has now become a source of fun and entertainment for children and income for grown ups as children demand water guns, colours etc. to celebrate the festival. Some kids do fun activities like Holi Card Drawing.
Employees in companies celebrate this festival only to get bonuses from the company. Nowadays, parents don’t take the effort to explain to their kids the reason why we are celebrating the festival, this makes the child unknown of the religious significance of the event and thus he also can’t explain it to his future generations. They just celebrate holi by keeping Holi Status Video on their mobile phone.
Not only these, but there is also a large use in the number of artificial colours which may prove quite harmful to the skin and also may pave the way to skin cancers. Now all normal people can’t check by themselves if the colour is harmful or not so it is always a risk factor. So, buying colours from unknown sources should be avoided.
Not only about colours but as well as there is a lot of water wastage due to celebrating this festival. Children often do not care about the amount of water being consumed and thus make way for water wastage; this needs to be avoided. I am not against celebrating the festival but on the side of celebrating this festival carefully with precautions.
