No governments and courts have rights to break the sentiments, tastes and interests of the people. Especially when it comes to taking decisions on celebration of festivals and practice of culture and traditions, the governments and courts should take decisions wisely. Else, they have to face humiliation from the people.
And that's what happening with the super success of the Diwali festival on November 14. In the wake of spread of the coronavirus pandemic, some states imposed a ban on bursting crackers while some more states imposed a time limit for crackers bursting.
Ridiculing the governments' decisions, people across India started bursting crackers with an immense fervour of the festival from 6 pm onwards Saturday. According to the reports from every nook and cranny, the celebration is better than the previous few years.
"It's a reflection of people's rebellion and anger on the governments for imposing restrictions on the festive celebrations. How long should we be restricted from celebrating festivals? And why should such restrictions be more to Hindu festivals? That's why we celebrated the festival like never before," says a youth who is bursting crackers with great enthusiasm.
