The beginning of March is the most horrible time for me. The festival of Holi begins and continues to create havoc for 2 days. I must be thankful that Holi is celebrated only for 2 days, because the nuisance that is caused to most people makes me wonder as to why the festival has to celebrated. The festival of Holi is hence deemed Unholy, according to me.
The argument that i have against Holi is that it is a big nuisance for a lot of people. Any festival that causes grievances against people and also causes health complications should be banned. The kind of Colours that are used today, the kind of apparatus that is used against a person, the throwing of balloons filled with liquid and also the cardinal sin of wasting so much of Water is the reason why Holi should be banned. Not to mention the Water and Air Pollution that occurs during this festival.
Some Colours that are used for this so called Celebration are poisonous, and it leads to eye-loss. The respiratory disorders that come about can sometimes be life-threatening. Other than Eyes and Lungs, the Skin is also bound to suffer. Rashes and allergic reactions can damage and scar a person for a long time. The Balloons that are thrown from at a height can injure a person. If a balloon hits an elderly person on the head, he risks a concussion or a stroke. This is not a festival, but rather a destructive element out to torment people.
In India, no festival here is celebrated in the right sense. Majority of the Indians do not celebrate a festival the way it should be. Rather, many people are affected by this festival, and thus the joyousness is lost. The same is true also for Diwali, but that elaboration will be in done in some other post. The mentality of the Indian Public needs to change, because they are causing hardships to the people in the guise of a festival, and that is indeed harmful. But, people continue to remain silent, and this is one thing why the country can move forward. If Citizens speak up for the hardships that any event causes them, then things can get better. But, already, this year is wasted, because as i write this, the unholy method of celebrating this festival is on in full swing.
The Festival of Colours is never going to be colourful for me, because it causes hardships to many people. The shameful wastage and pollution of resources like Water will make this festival a waste of time. Inspite of these two pressing issues, the people who are affected will remain silent. I guess in a country like ours, Hardships and Silence go hand in Hand.
